to think if you pay this much for a house you can expect at least more than one on suite?

This place is just down the road from us - I'd love it but my DH won't hear of living there.

Think of the woodworm Techno

really not sure about the interior decor, and the suit of armour by the driveway is ponce-tastic.

llareggub [sniggers at name] That bonkers place just proves that money can't buy taste.

One of ds's school friends lives here....

ivykaty44 · 16/01/2011 19:38

there is something rather odd about the table and chairs in the conservatory - it reminds me of a gaggle of woman having a chat in a huddle in the middle of the room.

i don't like all these expensive houses and the sink plumbing - there are a few including the last one cointrau linked to that have open pipping under the sinks - get the plumbers to finish the job is what I keep thinking Grin

I like thisone of DHs friend's lives near by and schools are great but too many ties to move from here now!

ivykaty44 · 16/01/2011 19:52

Yes though not sure about the expensive blue moulded kitchen top, but could have a great rearrange and it would be fab kitchen sofa area if you pulled the table up into the kitchen area

My ideal home.

God I spent 3 hours looking at right move last thursday night after the roof started leaking and DH decided we wouldn't throw any more money at our house.

I want to swap jobs with Kirsty!

my lottery win home

MargaretGraceBondfield · 16/01/2011 19:55

Went on for £4 million, I am waiting until it gets to about £400,000 and then I'm going to buy it!!

Wouldn't want an ensuite - but wouldn't say no to a walk in wardrobe

Eglu · 16/01/2011 20:02

llaregub DH says your one is obviously owned by Arabs. He said the chairs lined up in the living room are a very arab feature. He used to live in the middle east.

sweetheart · 16/01/2011 20:14

dh and I were eyeing up this place earlier. It's on an estate we said we'd never move to as it's terribly crowded but I do love the look of this place

ivykaty44 · 16/01/2011 20:34

Madam - look under the sinks in the bathroom - unfinished plaster and unsightly plumbing

LoL sweetheart that is where a good friend of mine lives!! He loves it there and hasn't had any problems with neighbours.

This would do me - nothing too grand....

sungirltan · 16/01/2011 20:49

tramadol totally agree re ensuite. we have an ensuite wetroom and its vile i hate it. has a stupid frosted glass door so i might as well wee with the door open. and it never dries out properly so it smells. i want to surgically remove it from my house. i would like a guest bedroom with an ensuite though - make my mum happy when she stays :-)

anastasiak · 16/01/2011 20:50

its "en" not "on" suite, and tasteful period houses often don't have any en suite bathrooms anyway - I wouldn't judge whether a house was appealing based on how many bathrooms there were!

maighdlin · 16/01/2011 21:02

my ideal house it looks like my mother did the decorating but think of the potential. the only way i could afford it would be to win the lottery so i would have loads left over to do it my way.

kickassangel · 16/01/2011 21:37

gosh, they like a nice strong 'blue' don't they.
why, when there are so many pictures of the view, did they include one with a tanker in the middle of the shot?

apart from that last house, there's a lot of cream/pale yellow & beige colours. which is exactly how our house is painted (and it gets a bit boring after a while). i'm planning to get some art work.
