Who lives in a house like this?

Beautiful. An artist lives there.

It's not even euro lottery night and I'm looking at expensive houses.

It’s horrid.

Actually that’s a bit harsh, lovely outside but not to my taste on the inside.

Current owners evidently lacked the requisite ancestors to hang on the walls so they took up painting..

There's too many sitting rooms and bedrooms. I think I'd convert some into:

Library
Pub with a proper bar and draught beer
Games room
Maybe a model railway room
Daughter could have a lego room
Definitely a sauna
Boyfriend could have a darts room
Dressing room for all my new expensive shoes
Music room for when I've learned how to play the piano and violin

I'd need staff too as couldn't be arsed cleaning all that so they could have some rooms too.

Did anyone else have the voice of Lloyd Grossman in their head reading the title?

Thats lovely.

I like this game! How about this one: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/143387696#/?channel=RES_NEW - I’m thinking someone who made their money by fast fashion.

I can't get that Space song "Neighbourhood" out of my head!

It's a bit poky for 18 million! And no ponds or jetties

it is oddly lacking for £18m isn’t it? I’d want some sort of pricey beach.

An artist 😅That’s some family money at work there then!

No doubt of their artistic talents, but the number of artists that earn enough to buy that house would barely be in double digits.

Me too! The grounds are fantastic but the house itself is deeply depressing. All that dark wood does nothing for me. It looks dark and cold.

@FancyBiscuitsLevel I wonder why they have all the MGM pictures? Or are they TVs?

It's quite bland though isn't it? Like whoever lived there didn't spend much time there. I wonder if it's a rich foreign national perhaps? Maybe Russian or Oil money?

Not to my taste either, I just really dislike beams and I’m not sure why? The gardens are beautiful though

I love old buildings like that. Reminds me of some of the pubs in York I've stayed in. It's probably a bugger to keep warm though.

Me too! Outside is one thing but inside would give me nightmares.

That’s a lovely house. We did used to build such beautiful homes and love the fact the owner has kept it true to what it is, reflecting the beauty in it,

Like it!

Maybe it's just as I'm late 50's but no way on God's green earth would I want to be maintaining the grounds or the buildings. Also, in the middle of nowhere so couldn't walk to any shops or a pub/restaurant.
Even with Euromillions, I cba with organising someone to organise this stuff for me.
It is beautiful though

@Fallenangelofthenorth was trying to see if that was a Chelsea badge on the indoor footy pitch. Abramovich?

All those ceiling beams would be terrible feng shui

Oh, beams are connected to bad feng shui? I really dislike beams in property and I’m never sure why, I find them quite oppressive. I will have to google this!

All i can see with all that panelling and beams is the dusting😱 love the pool room though, I'd be happy with that and convert the garage to living accommodation 😌

@Fallenangelofthenorth I always weigh up whether I'd need staff too. I'd need a full-time housekeeper at the minimum.

Maybe that’s what putting me off…. I’ve only been to York once and I’m sure the place I stayed was haunted!!! Bringing back memories 😂

What a beautiful house - so much character - I don’t know how they can bear to sell it. Whoever the artist is isn’t very good but that’s ok the rest of it’s lovely.
