On www.rightmove.co.uk (or equivalent) which house is the most expensive nearest to where you live within 10 miles?

For us its this one:

Its not bad but the snooker room looks like a WMC snooker room.

This one's less than 7 million...maybe I'll buy it. :o

Within 10 miles of my mum (as Aussie's are boringly keen on POA and auctions) is this one.

ClaudiaSchiffer · 03/10/2011 03:23

Oooh, I love property porn.

This one is near my parents. Quite the Baronial home.

And this one is the priciest where I used to live.

I LOVE it actually, if I sold the kids, a kidney, our house, killed all the rellies and dh for the insurance I still couldn't afford it. Arses.

Well, I'm afraid I have to extend the 10 mile radius thing as there are only a tiny handful of properties within that distance, never mind ones for sale! (We're very remote-rural, Canada - 3.5hrs from the nearest city and 1hr from the nearest town!) so I've gone for 1 hr's drive radius instead, which takes in Jasper (the ski resort townsite) and this is the priciest home for sale there at the moment: www.realtor.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?propertyId=10529093&PidKey=-75277662

lazydog · 03/10/2011 05:09

Meant to say, I'm not impressed. House itself is OK but I'd not like to live somewhere with no land after having space around us for the last 6 years...

ThisIsYourSong · 03/10/2011 05:19

we're going international! Can't search within 10 miles but this is the (second) most expensive in our region.

Most expensive was a boring apartment!

SlinkingOutsideInSocks · 03/10/2011 05:32

Is it just me or is the decor in these houses, for the most part, appalling?!? What's with all the mahoosive drapes, with 80s-tatic box coverings? Hmm

This is just up the beach from me... Once again, questionable decor.

waves to TIYS from t'other end of island

EttiKetti · 03/10/2011 05:44

this one is nearest my mum, not giving my location away. But its got no garden and opening straight onto the street is a bit "Coronation Street" :o

MyDaydream · 03/10/2011 06:25

This is mine not bad, but needs decorating, and don't think I could be bothered with all that gardening!

ClaudiaSchiffer · 03/10/2011 06:26

Lazydog that is very disappointing. TIYS, quite like it but it's a bit 'barney' and also Shock at the blatant estate agent description!

Slinking are you absolute beachfront??? I would LOVE to have a house right on the beach.

ThisIsYourSong · 03/10/2011 06:37

Slinking [waves back]

love the outlook but what's with the wood panelling?!

The English houses really have it for the wow factor, I must say.

HecateGoddessOfTheNight · 03/10/2011 06:48

price on asking

which normally means several million!

next most expensive is this one at 2.5 million

WTFlike · 03/10/2011 06:49

Again, crap decor, nice house.

ProjectGainsborough · 03/10/2011 06:56

It's only got two flippin' bedrooms!!

borderslass · 03/10/2011 06:58

this Farmhouse with 3 cottages

LottieJenkins · 03/10/2011 07:03

ettiketti I couldnt get your link to work!
this is practically on my doorstep!

ClaudiaSchiffer · 03/10/2011 07:08

Lottie, that's lovely, but why no interior shots? Overrun with squatters perhaps?

Hecate Eyam house is beautiful, if it wasn't sold already I'd deffo buy it.

LottieJenkins · 03/10/2011 07:11

ClaudiaShiffer I havent heard of any squatters!! lol

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoDuck · 03/10/2011 07:18

LeBOF Grin Brilliant!

monkeyfacegrace · 03/10/2011 07:39

BOF, that price is for 27 homes! Read the description, its the whole bleedin development!

pallymama · 03/10/2011 07:54

Looks kind of Pride and Predjudice. If Mr Darcy is included, it's a bargain! Grin

BobLoblaw · 03/10/2011 07:55
