I think this looks like a distribution centre...

It’s lovely inside…

A very glamorous distribution centre. But, speaking as the owner of a 3000 sq foot factory I agree..

bloodywhitecat · 23/07/2022 17:01

At almost five million? They're havin a laff!

Complete with a figure dressed in donkey jacket and beanie carrying a bag. A first glance he looks like a worker heading into the industrial unit.

Hasn't this been on Celebrity Gogglebox?

LizziesTwin · 23/07/2022 17:18

It’s really close to the airport - not a great location.

I love barn conversions but I have noticed a lot of modern barns being converted now and they are not particularly attractive from the outside! Often amazing on the inside though.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 23/07/2022 17:33

Yes, there is a definite light-industrial vibe to that.

RandomMess · 23/07/2022 17:35

Looks like some of the newer university buildings I've seen. It's not even built yet.

girlmom21 · 23/07/2022 17:36

It does look like an Amazon warehouse on the outside.

Womenandwomenfirst · 23/07/2022 17:37

That is the ugliest house I have ever seen.

Matilda1981 · 23/07/2022 17:37

It looks like it’s a converted grain store so there would have been certain conditions on how it looks from the outside as classed as a barn conversion.

why see the car from the pool?

drpet49 · 23/07/2022 17:43

Lovely offices

It's not even built yet Confused

autumnboys · 23/07/2022 17:44

It’s not built, I don’t think. You’re paying 4.8m for the land and there is planning permission to build the ware-home.

Mustgotobedsoon · 23/07/2022 17:45

Butt ugly for the community. I couldn’t buy that no matter how huge the inside …

eekyeeky · 23/07/2022 17:45

It's massive but some weird empty or big spaces. Why not separate dining room & it looks like it would be quite dark

Woodlandarchitect22 · 23/07/2022 17:47

That is not pretty!

If a client had a massive barn to convert then the planning dept could have given approval IF the materials used are similar to the existing building (and in keeping with the area)

On the other hand, architects should at least TRY and be creative.

I expect the person who designed this wasn’t actually an architect (happens all the time!)

@autumnboys
so that’s not even a real picture of the house ?

LocalHobo · 23/07/2022 17:49

why see the car from the pool?
I have noticed this trend. Looks great in the pics with a shiny super car, not so much in reality with a slightly dented, bird poo covered Volkswagen.

Woodlandarchitect22 · 23/07/2022 17:50

Ware-home 🤣 I love that. What a great phrase to make clients rethink their ugly barn conversation ideas 😆😆 x

Minimalme · 23/07/2022 17:51

It is ostentatiously ugly - takes real money to be able to build something that bad.

@autumnboys

I don’t think it is, no. In the details it says that all images are CGI. It’s very real looking though, isn’t it.

chipsandpeas · 23/07/2022 17:55

that looks like the type of house id build in the sims when i get bored of it
