House, whilst nice, isn't stunning, but the setting is simply breathtaking.

All 20,000 acres of it.

4 mil.

Bugger that, if I'm ever spending a few mill the amenities are the most important; garaging for 5 or 6 cars, nice gardens, out-buildings etc. plus of course nice living accommodation. biggrin

The poor photos don't help, it's like they've applied a filter that dampens the colour down.

Sorry for bumping this but I keep coming back to it.

Arse, as mentioned, end. Of Nowhere.

Yet I cannot quite get my head round 200 quid an acre.

Judging by the artwork, the owner is a car guy/girl.

Cursed too

'When Kirkham Priory was demolished following the Protestant Reformation and the stones, timbers and other material were taken away by the Bamburghs and used in the construction of Howsham Hall, it was considered sacrilege at the time. It was said that true happiness would never come to the family or its successors and that a curse was placed on Howsham Hall and the people that owned it whereby "All male heirs of the estate would perish". The Bamburugh family died out because of the lack of male heirs, the Wentworth intermarried with the Bamburghs and they too became extinct. The next owners, the Cholmeleys, also became extinct and the Stricklands have only one female member of the family left. The last family to buy the house were the Knocks, and the curse continues, as Anthony Knock died after losing a battle with cancer in 2004.[5]'

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...

The exterior looks like a modern day golf clubhouse. I feel like I am walking up the 18th just looking at it.
Stumbled on this thread and actually viewed this house 4 years ago. Was being nosey, couldn't afford it.

Has it never sold?

It's was incredibly finished but seemed a bit luxurious where it was.

A proper barn conversion, unlike some I've seen that carry that tag, very tastefully done and with a triple garage.

Yes please.
