Funnily enough I was thinking about this the other day. I like where I live, have got nice neighbours, sea view and have never had any trouble whilst living here. TBH I don't know if I would actually move.

nomas · 04/03/2026 14:53

An Omaze house please. Without the flooding.

Danikm151 · 04/03/2026 14:53

To the big houses about 20 minutes up the road from me 😂

notatinydancer · 04/03/2026 14:55

Many different places.

DeftGoldHedgehog · 04/03/2026 14:56

I'd fly south for winter.

Pernicketywishes · 04/03/2026 14:58

Large cottage in my area.
4 bed house for DD1 & family.
I’d buy my Mum a small converted barn.
Also a bolt hole in Provence and a couple of Air bnbs in European cities.

I want to share with you @mumofoneAloneandwell!
Although looking out those windows would give me the heeby jeebies

Thundertoast · 04/03/2026 15:00

I would live where I live now (similar to PP, great market town) and then book out months regularly in a locally owned hotel in Cornwall, so I could stay there and spend money at local businesses etc, but also not be a second home wanker.
(If anyone who is Cornwall born and bred thinks there's a better way of doing this then please let me know!
... yes, i am deluded I might actually win 😅)

cleanasawhistle · 04/03/2026 15:04

Same as you OP
Penthouse apartment in New York would be wonderful.

Toastersandkettles · 04/03/2026 15:07

To a detached 5 bed with some land, within 10 miles of where I already live. Then I'd spend the rest of the money buying lots of fields for sale to stop yet more useless estates going up.

Please include photos/rightmove links so I can judge your tastes!

Me - I am watching Owning Manhattan, planning my life after winning £100,000,000 (I dream modestly) - and would live in a NY skyscraper!

Something like this: https://111w57.com/

Please do share/judge my excellent taste 😌

That would do although I expect it would have to be a ridiculous win

BipolarBabe34 · 04/03/2026 15:09

No photo sadly but I’d love to live in a cottage in the countryside with a few acres of land and some stables.

ChequerToRed · 04/03/2026 15:14

I’d love to win asap, because my ideal house is 30 mins away from me and has been on the market about 18 months already. Nobody seems to want it, probably because the location is a bit odd and it needs some updating. Build in the 1830s as a summer bolt hole for the then Bishop of Bath & Wells. It comes with two extensive natural cave systems (one containing the bones of many ice age animals) and there’s follies in the grounds that are Grade 2 listed. There’s also a few acres of ancient woodland where my DH could have his long desired ‘shack in the woods’ as well as garage and workshop space. It’s perfect for us, not too big, and has the large formal drawing room I’ve long hankered for.

RuffledKestrel · 04/03/2026 15:16

I'd buy some sort of penthouse apartment in Glasgow for weekends/events in the city, but my main residence would be a "self built " house somewhere along the west coast of Scotland .
So not actually that far from where I live now 😅

I hope you do the lottery then? I'm rooting for you, sounds amazing!

😄 here's hoping I win first and then you next!

Care to share the rightmove link?

Nicely modernised but not too big semi in my village. I can’t stand having too much house to clean!
I’d consider a little pad in London or the Cotswolds, and a holiday home in the Caribbean.

Show quote history

It would have to be insane 😄

And the thing is, I would worry about leaseholder charges - do they have those in new York? 👀👀

Id live where I live now but I'd go on lots of holidays

@JacknDiane you'd be fine, I'd get you some curtains 😄

God can you imagine

I'd be torn between something like this
https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/167792321#/?channel=RES_BUY
and The Barbican. Think I'd pick De Beauvoir even though I've always wanted to live in Barbican. I'd fine-tune the exact house to one with an annexe for my nephew though, this was just one that leaped out at me. (Btw this listing has a ridiculous amount of photos - those meaningless "lifestyle" ones that means I won't buy it on principle!)

I agree with this though, having too much house to clean!

That said, you'd be rich so you'd have a cleaner!

I'd live not too far from where I am now but in a bigger home with a bigger garden.
