loving it! Some of the dimensions seem a little off though (width of dining room is 17.2, sitting room is 16.8 for the same main part of the building, then the bedroom about is 18.1 and the entrance hall different again)

Secret passageways and dungeons. Obvs.

It's very nice, but if anything i'd say some of the rooms almost seem a bit too big for normal living.

Our master bedroom is 20' x 18' and feels plenty large enough. Can't help but feel that if it was double the size (which that master is), then it might feel like living in a warehouse.

On the same local rightmove page as the barn above - http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find....

I used rightmove to search others.

Was this one, Park Farm Barn £1,200,000 - http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...

Double courtyard!



It's almost like a Roman Villa layout, gatehouse at the top, convert the central wing into a bath house, just missing the West wing though.

Why do so many estate agents seem utterly incapable of providing floor plans that you can actually read?

[FourWheelDrift]

Found a Villa layout that didn't have big wings on both sides, but the bathhouse at the top.

It's infuriating isn't it?

I'm house hunting at the moment and a decent floor plan is a huge advantage for the property in question. Unreadable floor plans, or floor plans with no dimensions, or no floor plan at all, mean that unless it's clearly stunning, it goes into the "maybe" pile.

[DocJock]

Totally agree.

In fact, in a multiagency scenario I would make a point of going through the agent with a proper floorplan on their listing.

Oh my, thats wonderful! As for heating..... you'd be amazed how much heat a single log burner like the one in that house puts out! For free, too, if you get friendly with a local tree surgeon


Now, how's about this for a mega house?



A mere snip at £9.5 million....

Eh. It's been on the market for eons... for £8m. Either the Wail is spouting nonsense as per usual or the agents are a bit mad.

Alas, as much as I love it the estate has been carved up quite badly. Unless I could also buy the 'Orangery' (which was on sale for £3m years ago) and possibly the huge McMansion at the top of the driveway I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole as a hypothetical rich man on the hunt for a country lair.

And then there's the fact that the Mamhead Hillclimb is hosted on the grounds. The petrolhead in me wouldn't have the heart to cancel it, but the bd in me would secretly hate the lack of privacy and the fact I couldn't get rid of the abomination that is the tarmac driveway in favour of a more gravelly variety.

So, I don't really see it selling anytime soon at a 20% price hike.

EDIT: And the son of the owner is on PH! http://www.pistonheads.com/GASSING/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Like the giant place in Rannoch posted about a dozen or so pages back, this used to be a small boarding school that went to the wall. Can only really see places like this being bought for institutional use. Be an incredibly brave man with an enormous family and bottomless pockets who buys this as a home.

Ok so you're cool with someone buying a 18th century townhouse, ripping all the original features, plasterwork, fireplaces etc out and replacing it with polished chav marble, glittery fking chandeliers, mood-lit walk in showers and a bowling alley?

That's fine because someone bought it with their own money?

How about buying the Mona Lisa and drawing a dick on it in white emulsion?

Buying ancient woodland and levelling it to build a distribution centre?

Yes.

Yes - that's how capitalism works.

Fine by me - might improve it.

I don't agree with that at all but it happens every day somewhere in the world.

It's just wrong. Stone flooring like that in a modern styled house...its just wrong. Doesn't work to my mind.
