So I can come visit and be envious.

Not my house (unfortunately), so not a plug to sell it. Was in my IG feed this morning

I can admire the style, though it's not my type, beautiful house and lovely layout overall.

SpringIsSpringing25 · 18/04/2025 14:41

I'd love to & you'd be more than welcome to come and stay!!

Unfortunately (for us both) I'm a few hundred short of the asking🙇🏻‍♀️

ooh i can just feel the draft coming through those windows!!

That's why I'm just visiting you there 😅

Although, we have a Grade II house in London and were allowed to replace the windows heritage quality double glazing, so you never know!

The estate agent has run riot with AI flowery language.

TheOliveFinch · 19/04/2025 11:39

Very nice house but maintaining those windows would be a nightmare

Oh, yes, don't they all these days? I almost never bother reading the descriptions and mentally filter out the soft focus shots of vases of flowers.

@TheOliveFinch In what way?

@user499978802 , they all look like wooden sash windows with all those cross bars of wood which are fiddly to paint, I think they look great by the way

It's the very house that is in my mind's eye when reading novels including gentlewomen in the 1800s. They're sitting at the desk in the window in the big skirts, writing letters and invitations to tea.

I'm not very keen on the huge pond though.

CharlotteStreetW1 · 19/04/2025 11:57

Swoon!

So pretty and very much my taste in decor.

As a Libran with a love of balance and symmetry, this house is very pleasing.

If I wanted to live in North Essex, it would be top of my list.

MrsSkylerWhite · 19/04/2025 11:59

Lovely outside. Couldn’t cope with the low ceilings, though. Feels oppressive.

Hah. I'm a Libra too. When we did our house (also Georgian) our architects said I was the most symmetry-obsessed client they'd ever had 😊. But I didn't know it was a Libran trait.

@MrsSkylerWhite I'm thinking cosy, but I see your point.

Gorgeous house. But I couldn’t live with the sound of church bells, and would find it creepy to be close to a cemetery (presuming it is)

FenellaFeldman · 19/04/2025 12:05

What an absolutely beautiful house! So elegant and tasteful and no grey anywhere! 😍

Quiet neighbours.

Beautiful house, I would love to stay for a weekend away but as a minimalist I couldn't live there

We lived in a converted church many years ago, surrounded by a graveyard with further graves in the basement.

It was lovely, so peaceful, not at all scary.

Haven’t they just?

I was lolling at ”A window rises above the sink, allowing light to pour into the room while framing a beautiful view towards the pond”

There’s a window behind the sink. Like in literally every other kitchen.

Bluevelvetsofa · 19/04/2025 14:04

I was keen on ‘verdant village’

the80sweregreat · 19/04/2025 14:10

It looks lovely , but too expensive for me. I like the way it’s been done. Very tasteful

HomeTheatreSystem · 19/04/2025 14:11

Love it but I'd have to make it a condition of sale that they left everything, bar their clothing, in the house 😆.

BottleBlondeMachiavelli · 19/04/2025 14:24

Oh that is absolutely perfect. 😍

I suspect they have lovely clothes too! I'd take everything in it!

I'll be honest, I don't have a view of a pond. Just Nigel and Brenda's shed.

TennesseeStella · 19/04/2025 14:48

Beautiful exterior but the interior is crying out for some Scandi minimalism.
