This place is horrid, but huge. Complete with panic room and escape tunnel.

Entrance to panic room:


Aquarium


The master bedroom is bigger than some peoples houses!


I assume it's staff quarters in the basement

It's been for sale for a long time. I think it may have even cropped up in here before.

I quite like it...

Those renders really are dreadful; is the interior just at shell stage or something?

The exterior looks like a modern day golf clubhouse. I feel like I am walking up the 18th just looking at it.

The exterior renders aren't much better. For example that odd building by the side of the pond (not really big enough to call a lake) looks like it's not really there. And what is it meant to be anyway? There seems to be some glass floating in the water but from what I can tell it's a not a freshwater swimming pond so what is it? Odd. And yes it looks more like a swanky golf club than a home. Frankly I'd be rattling around in there it's so large.

I think it's the aquarium... I'd wonder whose going to clean the glass?

Well if it's looking into a pond what do they expect you to see? A pike, a couple of roach and some leaches? But then it's pure fantasy, as it's not been built.

I worked on a house once with a fish tank that went through multiple floors of the property; went there one day and there was a guy in scuba gear inside cleaning it. Bonkers!

I remember seeing that when it was just drawings.

It's odd to get a panic room highlighted like that, you tend to keep those secret. But I guess since it's near Southampton it's a big selling point

Were they "survivalists"? The size of the panic "room" (suite!), the stores and the sanitary facilities reminds me of old nuclear shelters. They were unground, too. All you'd need to add would be off-grid power, and water and air treatment.

I may have found my lottery win house, until I find something else. It's amazing how fickle one becomes when spending imaginary money.

This is just around the corner from my parents house, a few years back they had squatters in there

Ps my parents house is nothing like that!

Johnny Depp had a house built in this exact area!?

I hate the st excuses the squatters come out with. Even the picture of them making me think 'useless, bone idle scum bags'.

I can't believe they called the police - all the builders I know would have just thrown them out.

It got in all the papers

Free publicity perhaps? All very odd indeed

Indeed! That is some package.

ETA: The income is north of £350,000 but, I wonder how this compares with the running cost of such?

It is a lovely estate, so I wonder why it's been for sale for so long (at least 2 years), and recently dropped £2 million!
