A House I have always loved and possibly the best of all worlds in 'this' next of the woods / Yarm, but the owner who bought it maybe 5 yrs ago at 1.2m has put in plastic windows and made it look positively 'Expensive Barratt' IMHO...... shame.
It's a cracker that the Details don't do credit to.

Came up a few pages back

Doesn't look like it should be in this thread once, let alone twice!

I pass this on the way to a friends - always liked the look of it but never knew it was quite so interesting. Same owners for 38 years and needs a bit of work but with some money to do some updating (no kitchen pictures so wonder what that's like) I'd be happy.

Kitchen.

Ta - how I missed that kitchen I don't know!

[FourWheelDrift]

Because Savills don't have a photo of it

But Michael Graham one of the many estate agents who have been trying to sell it for the last few years did.

What a waste of that car port!

Just up the road from me is the second biggest private residence in the UK after Buckingham Palace, estimated at £300m once they've finished the 40,000 square foot basement

London, rather than UK. Pads such as Wentworth Woodhouse and Highclere dwarf that.

Old twinkle tappy toes Michael Flatley's place in Ireland.

Castlehyde, Cork, €20m, he's spent €27m restoring it since buying it for €3m in 1999.

I, genuinely, probably spend a little more time than is healthy perving the Palladian but that munts.

And the interior is ghastly, unless you were trying to create an early 90's Versace themed wk palace for Elton John.

The remains out the back look interesting.

However will they manage the throngs wanting to throw 20 mil at them for that?

Looks like a hotel. But at least he's supporting the local community - look at all that badly laid tarmac!

Just what I thought. Lovely setting though.

I cant imagine any house in Ireland being worth £20m.

That's pretty amazing.

But by God I'd hate to live there.

The rear is too Wentworth/St Georges Hill. Lose the central pool and it'll look better.

I think you are being a little picky. There are not many houses in the "over $300M" category so beggars can not be choosers.

[FourWheelDrift]

If I had €300m to spend on it, I could afford to remove it myself

I'd love to own it, sell it, and buy something nice for 1/100th of the price and live happily on the change! I'd never feel comfortable living in a museum like that.

Not entirely in keeping with this thread but I just stumbled onto this

Which would make a pleasant folly.
