It's rather spectacular! .

I'll load up a few pics of the inside in a mo, as I know a few people want to have a nose.

It's from this company who make tonnes of amazing bespoke playhouses .

A special thanks to prufrock, who made us aware of this company.

how about posting a picture of your house?

i'm sure we're all very curious now

Gingerbear · 14/05/2007 17:06

I am in awe! It is beautiful, although I agree with Marsy, the kids wouldn't get a look in, I would sit on a swinging seat on the verandah in my long dress sipping iced tea like scarlett o'hara or some other southern belle.......

Frizbe · 14/05/2007 17:26

Surely CSWS must have a cleaner for it, one surely can't have a playhouse that size and ahem 'clean' it ones self?

Hulababy · 14/05/2007 17:26

Me too np; oh and a garden big enough too.

ledodgy · 14/05/2007 17:26

OMG that is nicer and probably bigger than my house! Am I the only one that wants to see pics of your actual house if that's just the play house! Your dd is a very lucky girl.

Good grief Cod - she's more that a little spoiled, but I want her to have all the things that I didn't have as a child. Nothing wrong with spending money on dd if we can afford to - it's only the equivalent of 1 holiday in the pre dd days .

Naily - it has what's called a 'well', so that you can stand up in part of it at least. In effect this just means that the upstairs floor doesn't go all the way over, so you stand up in the double height bit. You could actually stand up in the whole of the downstairs if you're under about 5ft6 though.

At the other end of the scale - we put a sheet over the table and eat our lunch under it.

MerryMarigold · 14/05/2007 17:29

I think CSWS's house was probably featured in House & Garden - what issue was it CSWS?

LittleMouseWithCLogsOn · 14/05/2007 17:29
