Oh yes, I would like one too. And a couple of fields and stabling for the horses?

hf128219 · 25/10/2008 22:12

I take it you mean indoors?

thatsnotmymonster · 25/10/2008 22:14

Indoor and outdoor.

I have always aspired to owning a pool. Sadly, I think the 6ft costco pool we bought 2 years ago is the best I'll get (we never use it as it hasn't stopped raining for long enough...)

Oh yes you must and it should have a study for you and anyone else who fancies one and spare bedrooms for everyone to come and visit and a utility room and ...... can you tell I've thought about this a lot!

Oooh yes, I've always wanted a secret room, once that's accessed by depressing a bit of wooden panelling.

And I want a book-lined snug.

And a music room - as then I'd have to have lessons.

I did once rent a house purely because it had a priest's hole.

ewwwmy2shoesarefullofblood · 25/10/2008 22:45

I WANT A CONSERVATORY AND A UTILITY ROOM

Flum · 25/10/2008 22:49

Secret passageways like Cluedo.
40sq ft play room.
Lazy river heated all year round.
Salmon river at end of garden for DH.

KatieDD · 25/10/2008 22:51

Does it come with staff ??? I don't want it if I have to clean it myself.

blossomsmine · 25/10/2008 22:59
