Just make sure you sack the caretaker straight away. It's always the caretaker.

Needs bigger Eagles on the front posts. Or maybe some Lions eating Eagles.

Or massive Pelicans.

It is a hotel. Or at least, was until 2 years ago when the last owners moved out and left it empty. So, it does have Fawlty Towers potential.

How much do you think you would need to spend to put it back to a residence? It'll need a bit more than a bit of DIY & a couple of mates. Oh & it's GdII listed.

Blimey,

one of my ancestors was a rat catcher in Finchingfield around 1800. I expect he tugged his forelock there back in mthe day.

If thats not haunted, my names not Derek Acorah. It's not, but you get my drift.

Rather looks like its been in the same family for 250 years though by the interior.

Perfect.

In fact I'll go as far to say one of my favourite on here

[Meridius]

Im sure im in a minority but these massive mansions and stately homes all seem a bit horrible to me. They are nice in a national heritage kind of way but to live in? Never.

You're not, even if I had 100m I wouldn't buy a 30 bedroom mansion. I'd rather buy 5 or 6 "modest" houses like the one above on the river dart dotted around the world and travel between them.

Low ceilings! Why do people ruin a house in such a nice location by skimping on costs like that, or is there some valid reason, such as planning restrictions?

I don't see planning restrictions being the problem there and the property doesn't seem especially squat.

Looking at the ceilings, cornices and lighting I am going to guess that someone in the past thought it a good idea to overboard existing, possibly poor condition, ceilings and that was the result.

To be honest the internal design finish turn me off.
