Ever fancied living in a sliding greenhouse? I kind of want to.....

No doesn't appeal to me.i prefer my privacy Why have they planted that tree so close to the house if they wanted the views?

That's an interesting house. So the walls can be slid backwards and forwards over the greenhouse bit? I have to say I thought it would be more that £1m

Who cleans all that glass? 😱🫣😬😭

That would be my question.

They will have trouble with the tree roots destabilising the foundations in the future.

It'll be as hot as Hell in the summer.

I'll pass, thanks.

Wow! It is stunning. I don't think I'd buy a house like that (too impractical, with all that glass), but I'd love to stay in it on holiday. It feels like a very glamorous movie set...James Bond, perhaps.

Wow, that is some house! I really like the actual (wooden) greenhouse at the end of the pics.

Also, is that a bath in a glasshouse? Perfect for the exhibitionist in your life.

Oh - and a round mirror on the windowsill? Eek! (My friend's house burnt down because of this exact scenario - glass reflected off small vanity mirror on a window sill. Dangerous!)

Why the fuck do they have an actual greenhouse in the garden 😒

I bet the maintenance on the sliding bit is ££££

I don't understand what's going on with this bathroom. Is it an outdoor bathroom? If so, why does it have a window in it? Does the cladding slide over it? How does it fit round the window then?
So many questions. But it's intriguing. I'd be worried about it going wrong.

That was my first thought, the second was it won't be me.

I love the idea but you'd just spend the whole time looking at bird shit.

So the bathroom can be inside or outside? What a faff if it starts lashing rain and someone left the roof open. Or is in the bath😭I'd say the idea is better than the reality of living there.

Can you imagine having cats and kids and needing to round them all up before you slide your house so they don’t get squashed?

if you had a row with your DP you could start sliding your wall like a Star Wars trash compactor. Imagine the AIBU or Relationships thread.

Most of it seems to be a shed. Were there some sheds there before, and that’s how they got planning permission?

I do love these threads.

Re: glass cleaning - I wonder if it is self-cleaning glass?

But actually I love it, and would happily live in it if I had the money.

I imagine it’s pretty dark when the wooden shed bit is in place and I’d hate to be so visible to everyone.
Definitely not for me, imagine not being able to wander around naked if you wanted to 🫣

A lot of it does actually sound nice. I like the sound of the grounds and the solar and wind turbine very much. I think I just need a house that generally stays till.

Im not sure about this line though about the arresting bathroom. Depending on local footpaths, it could be taken quite literally if you allow your various whatsits to flap about while brushing your teeth or bathing up there,

I love it. And if I could afford that house I could afford a window cleaner.

This made me laugh so much @AnythingMuppetTM

I might buy the house just so I can hit the slide button on DH.

Now there's a poo with a view.
