I’m thinking I need to change my search area (Herefordshire) to further west. This is worth practically the same as my own house.

I think in a place like that, it wouldn't matter, you'd only be seen by birds and monkeys.

My parents live really rurally and I never shut the curtains when I'm there.

Those houses always feature in murder dramas though. Victim wanders around their entirely glass house in their underwear with all the lights on, while the axe man watches from the hedge outside...

*timefor

WhiteDust · 14/07/2019 21:30

timefor That's a lovely house! No room shots though! Does it belong to someone famous maybe?

OP, The barn isn't my thing. It looks scruffy!

I saw this building while walking the Highline in New York, and must say I'd move in immediately.

Love New York, now all I need is winning the EuroMillions

Wafflecopter · 14/07/2019 21:42

@brotown is winning by a mile for me. Though it may be slightly out of my price range.

Whowouldsaysuchathing · 14/07/2019 21:46

I’d go for Manhattan too. I remember seeing an article on the Paltrow/Martin pad and falling in lust:

I quite fancy this (we love walking in this area)

Had better call up HSBC and see how they'd feel about giving me a £2.5m mortgage.

PooWillyBumBum · 14/07/2019 21:50

This for my holidays, please. Fly into Nice then get a helicopter to the island, I think. I quite like crumbly buildings.

That’ll be the teenagers dormitory, every house must have one!

Cherrysoup · 19/07/2019 16:53

Half a mil for Tynemouth? My ex was studying archaeology and had to do a dig on Tynemouth beach, they had to check and clear syringes/drug paraphernalia every morning before they could start again!

Never come across anything dodgy despite going there hundreds of times. As someone says, possibly it’s on many beaches, I dunno.

Tynemouth is lovely. Out of all the times I've been there and played there as a child, I have never seen any junkies kicking about.. they'd look very out of place.

For the roof deck alone... one day!

This would do me fine

I’ll have this 😍

Emi1e · 20/07/2019 07:44

And what's with the room with seven double beds in??

This. It's very weird. My thought was it's beds for temporary staff brought in for big parties??

Emi1e · 20/07/2019 08:01

@PooWillyBumBum I really like that one you shared, so much potential with the rambling buildings and to change the deco to your own taste. I'll take that one please.

Emi1e · 20/07/2019 08:10

@Screamanger really? What do you like about it?

tomboytown · 20/07/2019 10:28

The 7 beds in one room is the teenagers dormitory in the blurb. You know for all those sleepover parties!

isitwhatitis · 20/07/2019 10:43

How about this unusual property?

Screamanger · 20/07/2019 11:14

The space, 50 acres is a decent size garden

Emi1e · 20/07/2019 18:17

Thanks @Screamanger. It reminded me of a post-war prefab Blush

Al2O3 · 20/07/2019 19:29

The Costa Rica one has had some rainforest carved out to accommodate it.

BluebellCockleshell123 · 20/07/2019 19:37

I'd take this...but only if they throw in the speedboat:

PooWillyBumBum · 20/07/2019 19:54

@martinidry was expecting much worse. OK, mock anything isn’t in the best of taste but would rather that near me than 100 gaudy orange brick new builds.
