Why do you think this hasn’t sold?

[MeMyselfandIsland]

I know it’s usually price but this seems v reasonable for the area?

only issue I can see is bedrooms maybe being small/strange shapes?

I think I’m in love with it 😂not that it’s in my current budget

Looks hotch potch from outside.

I wouldn’t buy anything that had 6 bedrooms and only 3 bathrooms.

That's incredibly like my friends house which is about 20 miles from this one. Theirs started as a small cottage with small, cosy rooms. Then they had enough money to do a stupendous extension so they have a beautiful kitchen/diner/family room, an amazing utility and boot room, big study, 2 gorgeous bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs with really good views.

Then you walk through into the original house and the rooms are small, lots of low ceilings and beams. It's really a house of two halves.

Not neighbours! How very down market darling . 😂

spme of these comments are so pompous. I’d love to see the folks posting homes.

its so b&m is another one . Toe curling.

I agree about the bathrooms. The guest bedroom with its bathroom seems not to be accessible from the other bedrooms, so there’s a principal bedroom with an en suite, leaving the four other bedrooms sharing a single bathroom, with three of them having to walk across the galleried landing to reach it.

I also wonder why the dressing room which leads into bedroom five is bigger than that bedroom.

You wouldn't expect bedrooms to have a shared bathroom? Blimey.

I live in a block of flats in central London. I've got plenty of neighbours 😂

My point was that the estate agents' photos make it look like it's on its own in its plot of land, with no near neighbours. If you're buying a rural property for over 1 million, you're probably doing so to get peace and privacy. The photos suggest that is what you're going to get, and so when you show up for a viewing and find that's not the case, it's probably quite off putting, hence why it hasn't sold.

I find the mix of old and new very interesting but appreciate maybe not to everyone’s taste?

the back is quite close to the other house and I think the lovely view is likely only the front rooms?

I wonder if the bedrooms in the old part of the house are small/low ceiling etc making them difficult to utilise properly (or as you’d expect for a house of this size/cost).

id love to see it with slightly more minimal decor!

Yeah looks like a pokey little house , 🤣🙄

If you are looking to spend £1.25m on a large detached property in the countryside, then you'd expect it to actually have a back garden.

To be honest and knowing the area, that house is relatively cheap.

It’s set in an acre 😂

For me, proximity to neighbours and too few bathrooms would be the reasons. It's clearly had some
Money spent on it - but the situation feels wrong for a property at that price.

It will be those ridiculous multi-coloured cows 🙄

@invisiblecat it is cheap for area and proximity to train station isn’t it?!

Reverse tardis - looks smaller on the inside. It’s probably the reason for so much white in a building that looks like it wants wood and a slightly less modern interior. The bedrooms are the big deal breaker, only one of the 3 shown has headroom. Plus why is so little of it photographed?

It’s not a bad price for the area

Small bedrooms with no storage space, and the dining room is down the hall and round the corner from the kitchen which is odd (although you probably wouldn't use it anyway)

@Summertimer yeah definitely looks smaller but I think there’s too much furniture downstairs.

the lack of bedroom pics definitely points to issues though - I suspect small with sloped ceiling = no space for storage

At the front. Not at the back, where there is another property.

Unless I'm missing something in the spec, it doesn't appear to have a garage.

It's just so bland. There's nothing to pique interest at all. I'm not surprised it's not had much.

It's a lot of money to live in Sandy.
No real sense of the outside space - issues?
Small bedrooms.
Schools not great.

I wouldn’t touch anything thatched and also it’s far too rambling.

I think you have not bothered to look at the floor plan, it’s a massive garage, over 700 sq foot. Which has a studio in it and a seperate office in another building.

Oh and the train fare to London is very high.

Is Sandy a bit of a meh area? That would explain it.

Cheap for that size of property, and commutable. The A1 runs past Sandy too. That's pretty much it, yes.
