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.

csws. I'm disappointed. You can only fit my house in that four times If you have another baby you'll have to move to a bigger place.

pointydog · 14/05/2007 17:40

but you do seem to live in two houses, cantsleep

ledodgy · 14/05/2007 17:41

I want inside pics of the real house too!

That pic does make it look huger than it is (not that it is small by any stretch of the imagination!!!)

Idreamofdaleks · 14/05/2007 17:49

Pretty house!

lilybubble · 14/05/2007 17:55

Wow, it's absolutely beautiful! Lucky, lucky little girl, she will be the envy of her friends - and their mums!! I've never seen anything like it, it's absolutely incredible. Wow!! You are so lucky to be able to give that to your daughter, it's wonderful

Gingermonkey · 14/05/2007 18:40

It's just so beautiful. Can I come round to have a little play, please. I only live in Yorkshire, it's not that far!

Gingerbear · 14/05/2007 18:41

Cod, I used to live on Cromwell Road in Middlesborough.
Twas rough as a badger's arse.
Don't think that is a good investment opportunity.

Southern Plantation 'Tara' much more enjoyable.

PinkChick · 14/05/2007 20:06

Hi Gingerbear(its Evesmama, we found out we both live/lived in mbr0 ages ago when talking about sweety shop nr forbes buildings), how long ago did you live on cromwell rd?, dp's old friend lived there up until few years back, their surname was Casey??

PinkChick · 14/05/2007 20:06

oh and the badgers arse would be very upset with you right now!

handlemecarefully · 14/05/2007 20:12

Lovely playhouse. Will have excellent play value and depending upon how long you intend to stay at your current address, it is a big enough play house to grow with your dd and become a teenage 'den' for example

handlemecarefully · 14/05/2007 20:16

Oh and it's not such a sunk investment either. If and when you do sell up and move house, a play house like this will add to the desirability of your property for many buyers (those with young children for instance).

So I think it's great that you've got this for your dd

Wallace · 14/05/2007 20:17

Wow that's well cool

Aloha · 14/05/2007 20:19

It is LOVELY dnd I am super-envious, esp at the size of your garden tbh, but I want this one!
the playhouse to end all playhouses

SoupDragon · 14/05/2007 20:26

I bet it'll be full of cr*p by next Summer

SoupDragon · 14/05/2007 20:27

(and what a lot of cr*p you could fit in it too!)

SoupDragon · 14/05/2007 20:32

I want one of these and I have just the garden and the tree to put it in too. [sigh]. It would seriously piss off the neighbours at the rear of my property though.

Doubt it'll take til next summer Soupy!
Like the tree house - nowhere near enough trees in our garden for something like that though.

Aloha - we looked at that site, but they are stupidly expensive for the size of them! Very pretty though.

hmc - we hope to stay here a long while - 6 years so far, which makes us relative newcomers, as some of the neighbours have been here well over 20 years!

No inside real house pics ladies - a step too far security wise methinks!

wow - lovely playhouse. Hope your dd & friends really have fun.

MingMingtheWonderPet · 14/05/2007 20:58

Beautiful, I want one!

I'd like one for myself.

stealthsquiggle · 15/05/2007 16:04

really really want one. For me, yes, but for the DC as well. Shame really that the "real" house has eaten all the money and has plans on all money to come for ever. Good for you CSWS - and I think it is the right age to get it as she will get maximum possible use from it.
