Certainly different!

Been on the market for years, I think it started at about £12m/£13m.

Pretty sure it's been sold by the bank after they repossessed it.

Wow! Impressive! Reminds me of houses I used to build on the Sims.

"On the instructions of LPA receivers"

I wonder which particular feature tipped them over the edge?

Grambler · 30/08/2019 14:08

Wasn't it an airBnB- I'm sure I've seen it before.

It's not something you forget Grin

BrokenWing · 30/08/2019 14:10

Wonder how often the sand needs replaced? 🤔

You know when people say money cant buy you happiness, that's bollocks isnt it

Gordon Bennett Shock

It looks like a film set as used by Bond villains.

OutrageousFlavourLikeFreesias · 30/08/2019 14:13

My cats would definitely shit in that Indoor Beach so unfortunately I can't buy this. Pity

MoobaaMoobaa · 30/08/2019 14:14

that house has been on the market for years, and a regular feature of MN property porn.

someone will hopefully link to the story behind it.

KatherineJaneway · 30/08/2019 14:14

Yup, my cats would think - yes a new place to poo!

missbattenburg · 30/08/2019 14:16

Brilliant. Flicking through the pictures is the gift that keeps on giving.

An indoor beach and gold flooring! I thought the gold floor was a disco room till I saw the bath!

LochJessMonster · 30/08/2019 14:17

My dog would love indoor sand, but my roomba wouldn't.
And not too keen on the golden bathroom.
Other than that, I would consider living there..

eeksville · 30/08/2019 14:17

i've seen it before & think it's amazing. The sand would have to go though

mommybear1 · 30/08/2019 14:26

Wow wow and again wow. Imagine that sand trapsing it all over the house - no thanks

ArsenicChip · 30/08/2019 14:36

Also related to this fiasco. You could not make it up.
Nasty Nasty

MaggieFS · 30/08/2019 14:38

Yes, this has been on here before - it's quite a house! Wasn't this the same guy who was running an illegal marina on the river or had missold moorings?

DishingOutDone · 30/08/2019 14:44

That's all rather jolly!

NoBaggyPants · 30/08/2019 14:44

The back story on this is more interesting than the house itself. Fraud, sexual harassment, assault, and upsetting the neighbours too!

SayOohLaLa · 30/08/2019 14:44

I suspect it was the electric bill that did it for them....

some lovely rooms though.

DishingOutDone · 30/08/2019 14:45

@ArsenicChip how so?

DishingOutDone · 30/08/2019 14:46

@ArsenicChip did I miss a bit in that story, if so sorry.

MelanieFrontage · 30/08/2019 14:47

Oh my word, that is a truly amazing house but I’m not sure whether that’s a good thing 😂

Roussette · 30/08/2019 14:50

I think it's vile and horrible taste. I would be so claustrophobic in it. I like light and airy not dungeon like.

MollyButton · 30/08/2019 14:52

I love it - but the indoor beach would be come a huge cat litter box - so unfortunately I don't think I can buy it. A bit of a bargain for the location - but the £2M+ market has been slow for a few years now.
