My neck of the woods. A bit plain and uniform inside, but I'd jump at the chance.

Can you spot the spark plug?

Well, I found the piston!

Not for me. Far too much risk of wandering out half cut & jumping in the wrong pool.

Imagine hauling the groceries in from the car, from the garage to the kitchen...

Edit: on closer inspection there's a shortcut from the reception hall.... Phew!

And TV above fireplace and the sex cauldron outside.

This is local to me, rural enough but between 2 OK little towns, no road noise from main roads, decent garaging.

Far more interesting than it initially looks.
Whoah yeah. I thought the building close by on the left was the neighbours but it's actually that decent garaging mentioned. Bonus is that the kitchen isn't a hike from the garage but there's a few doors in the way..... Room for a go kart track out the back too.

Well. This is certainly love it or hate it. I really don't know whether to put this here or the nightmare thread.

I'm almost in the love it camp.... Looks well done, but is very open plan. Obvious question is how do you heat it economically. And I know it's been dressed for the pictures, but I've never seen so many single beds. However, that said it would be irresistible to ascend to the pulput at dinner time to announce the menu.

I'm guessing you can tone the lighting down, so I'm in the pawn camp on this. Bags of character and interesting things to look at while living there.

Seems to be set up as an AirBnB.

I love it, but I wouldn’t want to heat it and god knows what you do when you need to change some of those lightbulbs. biggrin

I'd want to know what the owner's responsibilities are regarding the dead people in the garden, and what happens when someone playing 'Who do You Think You Are' comes knocking with flowers for their 8 times great grandmother in the middle of Christmas Dinner.

Yeah this is great, 1 minute walk to the pub, decent location, nice but not crazy amount of land

The proximity of The Cricketers isn't really a good thing. Probably be OK most of the time but there's a lot of new money around there and in the summer it gets really busy with people showing off their cars and strengthening every Essex stereotype you can imagine. They park where they shouldn't and half of them drive home pissed.

This is the kind of house and estate I’d buy given the opportunity. Despite its size the owners have done a great job of making it look very homely unlike many of the country houses we see in here.

Yep - that's the way to do it. No worries about the dogs pottering all over the ground floor and every room looks like somewhere you could flop and be utterly content.

Is that... a mausoleum? So the dead family will be watching everything that you do on their land?

Nope.

Very nice. Where do the church goers park though?
