Was picture 27 taken by a ghost?

So over the top and unique, I can't help but love it, even though the boring grey bathroom and lilac bedroom are disappointing.
That courtyard alone would do it for me.

It looks like one of those houses from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, loads of money but no taste.

BreviloquentBastard · 02/03/2023 10:33

I'm not sure how I feel about it. The outside is adorable but the inside is bizarre, I'm not sure there's not too much going on for my taste. I think I'd love to spend a couple of weeks there, but not sure I'd want to live there (or clean it!)

There seems to be a throne room where two giant chairs sit across from each other by the fireplace with pews in front of them!

I like bits of it, but somehow as a whole, it doesn't work - it just looks artificial, like a sort of Disney-land mock up of a castle

It looks like a touristy restaurant you'd find somewhere in Greece! It's bloody awful, just imagine all that dust in all the crevices. That staircase is so ugly.

It does look like a massive dust magnet!

It’s got crypt meets Benidorm vibes.

I prefer it when people have a bit of individuality, but wonder when they want someone else to pay over 3 million quid for what is essentially a glorified dormer bungalow wedged in next to a load of other houses. So I think it’s cool, but wouldn’t want to buy it.

Horrid and you’d have to live near Slough.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 02/03/2023 10:41

Oh dear... nope. Awful. Very heavy. It makes me feel claustrophobic just looking at it.

tillyoumakeit · 02/03/2023 10:42

God it's awful! Always amazed at how much money people will spend and still end up with something horrific!

DCINightingale · 02/03/2023 10:49

I Love it!!

rhowton · 02/03/2023 10:49

I could not hate this house more! You're so right... Marmite.

Gingernaut · 02/03/2023 10:49

Ah yes.

Sunnymeads with it's medium to high flood risk, on the banks of the Thames and near a series of lakes.

No thnaks.

Sheitgeist · 02/03/2023 10:52

That is my favourite house ever.

SignOnTheWindow · 02/03/2023 10:53

That is one of the most vulgar houses I've ever seen, but I also kind of love it! 😳

Trinity65 · 02/03/2023 10:53

Nah, its not for Me
Its far too "busy" looking and don't seem to be one thing or another

Mutabiliss · 02/03/2023 10:54

The decor is hideous, but it has the bones (and garden) of a wonderful house. I would totally buy it and slowly change it to my taste.

AvengingGerbil · 02/03/2023 10:25

It'll be less lovely when those water features all pour into the house. Wraysbury always floods.

I agree.

I know one or two people who have to have pumps in their cellars because they live in a low-lying area.

lalaloopyhead · 02/03/2023 10:56

It reminds me of a mediterian styled restaurant/hotel - its certainly interesting and has an appeal but I am not sure I would like to live there.

Littleflowerseverywhere · 02/03/2023 10:56

I don’t hate it, but it’s a little too much for me.

Allthegoodnamesarechosen · 02/03/2023 10:57

You couldn’t even rent it out as a location shoot.

SouperNoodle · 02/03/2023 10:57

There are aspects of it that I really like but it's so disjointed that it's hard to make sense of.
I couldn't live there but I'd love to wander around it.

CharmedUndead · 02/03/2023 10:58

Someone wanted to recreate their Italian/French holidays. And I applaud their efforts. But I wouldn't want to live there. Good find, OP! Fun to see.

Crikeyalmighty · 02/03/2023 10:59

Outside is nice- rest is Horrible and I don't like the area (moved 3 months ago ) gives me the creeps

Everyotherone · 02/03/2023 10:59

Feels a bit oppressive to me - the ceilings are a bit too low for the style. I don’t hate it, but I wouldn’t want to live in it.
