I admit I love threads like this so thought I would start one. Its a long post and I don't expect any replies I am just prattling because I have had to take strong painkillers. I saw an old YouTube video of a man going to the camelot office to collect 8.5 million. Nothing was said about what he was going to buy.
If I won a lot, millions I would design a house for myself and husband and daughter. I have Rheumatoid arthritis and the one treatment that works without side effects is hydrotherapy but I haven't been able to get any long term since childhood so I would have a pool.
It would feature a lounge with a surround sound TV, kitchen/dining area. Utility room with sink. Study, small gym just a treadmill and bike, a main bathroom with bath for DH & DD, walk in shower for me double with seating.
Two big bedrooms with ensuite toilet and sink. A third bedroom and lots of storage.
The grounds would have a gazebo, koi carp for DD, greenhouse for DH, water feature resembling a Brook with small wooded area and natural seating that looked like a fallen tree.
Bird boxes and tables, bower, bee friendly flowerbeds and a little picnic table would complete it nicely.
Not that I have thought about it much. 🤣🤣🤣
I don't care about loads of holidays abroad(although I want to see the tulip fields in Amsterdam). I don't care about expensive clothes and jewelery or cars (DH & I don't drive). My only other splash out would be proper medical treatment and a cleaner.

I bought mine - and completely remodelled it ! It was an absolute wreck - and needed everything doing to it.

It is a four story town house zone 3
It now has
4 /5 bedrooms
Kids have their own floor
Music room for husband
Study for me over looking the garden
Lovely garden with pond trampoline greenhouse and lots of plants and stuff for kids to do - not massive though as this is London
Large utility
Three toilets - two bathrooms including free standing bath room for me
Two large Victorian receptions with restored original fireplaces
Lovely kitchen with larder
And walk in bootroom with all the storage you need!

2 mins walk to fab park, great schools
Income has taken a massive hit with COVID though - hope we can hang on to it

Mine would be U shaped overlook a courtyard which has access from the kitchen living room and dining rooms via large glass doors. The bedrooms would also over look the courtyard via balconies - a big one joining all the rooms via the landing

We’d need 5 bedrooms plus a contained area for guests, with kitchen bedroom cottage type arrangement.

Kids would have a cinema room and soundproof party room.

Large drive and back garden.
