To be tempted by this house

But not pursue it as it’s almost certainly very very haunted. It’s beautiful, I love it, but I just cannot cope with the number of ghosts that it looks as though it contains. AIBU?

@ZaraCarmichaelshighheels

I’ve seen this house on Escape to the Country a couple of years back, wonder how long they have been trying to sell it?
Maybe it was sold then and the new owners want to move because there are too many ghosts 👻
ZezetteEpouseX · 10/10/2020 21:43

Is that some kind of river or something opposite? That won't help with insurance either.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 10/10/2020 21:44

@thatonesmine

Is it the paintings? They're the only things that look a bit spooky. Absolutely fabulous house and a steal at that price! I bet it goes for a lot more.
Yep. Zero ghost vibes until the paintings.

Beautiful house but the creepy paintings and portraits (probably of the ghost residents) put me off 😆

Ghostofborleyrectory · 10/10/2020 21:51

I drove past this house in the summer when it was under offer and thought it was beautiful- however my mum who lives nearby and was in the car told me about the flooding, the angle of the house and how busy the road is. I still would buy it though if I had the money!

Lurchermom · 10/10/2020 21:51

I wouldn't touch Grade 1 with a barge pole! And I say that as someone with a Master's in Building Conservation Grin but it's a gorgeous property and I hope someone loves it.

Diversion · 10/10/2020 21:51

I think it looks beautiful, and dont pick up any weird vibes from it at all

DappledThings · 10/10/2020 21:52

@Sevo7

Just looked at it again and felt even more freaked out by the same two rooms Confused Rooms 16 and 21 give me a really awful vibe...is it just me?
Looks lovely to me. Beautiful rooms.
Coughsyrupsucks · 10/10/2020 21:56

That’s got at least 4 ghosts, but I’d totally make peace with them for that house. It’s utterly beautiful 😍

DobbyTheHouseElk · 10/10/2020 21:56

Bloody hell, that’s cheap for the area. I guess they will sell it for much much more.

JonHammIsMyJamm · 10/10/2020 21:56

Not remotely spooky and wayyyy too cheap. Although that is an auction ‘guide price’ and so the house will probably go for much more, this is just to tempt people.

katy1213 · 10/10/2020 21:56

That's so the ghost can sit down for a chat. If you'd been on your feet for 400 years, you'd appreciate it.

Dutchesss · 10/10/2020 21:57

I can see a creepy upside down person on the ceiling in picture 12...

katy1213 · 10/10/2020 21:57

Sorry, we seem to have moved on from the chairs!

Serengetiqueen · 10/10/2020 22:01

Why do people always think that ancient houses = ghosts? People can and do die anywhere at anytime ...often in houses. Why can’t a ghost be ‘modern’ like a rapper or something? Sorry I just think this is rubbish.

Ellmau · 10/10/2020 22:07

Exactly, buying something like this means you are stuck with forever. Beware OP.

... until you end up the ghost yourself ...

Then you are still stuck with it. For everrrrrr😂
Notthetoothfairy · 10/10/2020 22:08

Not haunted OP, they will take the chairs and paintings with them, and you can just paint the wall you don’t like. Sorted.

most people don't 😂

but some people also believe that a 100 year old house is an "ancient house"...

CaraDuneRedux · 10/10/2020 22:13

I want it just for that amazing vaulted ceiling...

But sadly, you'd probably need to double the purchase price in terms of hte cost of maintenance.

laidbacklife · 10/10/2020 22:15

If you buy that, ghosts will be the least of your problems! #moneypit

Gemma2019 · 10/10/2020 22:17

What a stunning house. Haunted as fuck and I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole, but I do appreciate the beauty of it.

MingeofDeath · 10/10/2020 22:18

I know of this house. There have been some very strange goings on there...

OhCaptain · 10/10/2020 22:18

It certainly seems as though some posters’ sense of frivolity has died on this thread. 🙄🙄🙄

Anyway, @Wellsbells yes it is very clearly lousy with ghosts. Most likely those of the portrait people.

(Also with structural damage from the flooding...)
