Show us your real estate pawn (vol 2)

It's not TOO bad. Not exactly to my taste, but at the same time, you'd have to really want that house to pay £3mil+ for that, even with 100+ acres.

I dunno about Dorset but you'd not be allowed to plonk that in rural Warwickshire, a mate had a rebuild turned down because you could see it from the next field, you could see that from Cornwall.

Any ideas what it's asking price is?

It is POS - I believe it's 12.5 million, I think I have worked it out by using the filters. But could be wrong...

Wasn't that Geoffrey archers at one point?

Robin Gibb owned it at one point, my Dad had a place there during the 90s.

Yeah, subtle, it isn't!

To be fair it is brand new and is going to need a bit (lot) of weathering to blend into its environment. Maybe we forget that old houses are old so they look like they belong but they were all new once. Actually I'd love to see my house when it was new and its surroundings as it would look very very different to now.

[Pesty]

I like it. A few trees and some other bits and bobs it will be fine. Added to lottery list.

Is there an anti-pawn thread? I couldn't find one.

I drove past this house the other day. It's garden is underneath the M40. What a depressing place to live it must be:

Keeps the kids' swing dry though...

[RichB]

Indeed, that's Loudwater and as you say how depressing. Would have had a railway running past it at one time but a little local steam train once an hour is preferable to that hell under the motorway. It's hard to believe that we actually built that and left the houses underneath.

[Sheets Tabuer]

I look at those swings under that motorway and think jesus christ.

Can you imagine the fumes those kids are subjected to?

It would help if I include it.

Pics 2 and 3 look so out of place I wonder who's palm they had to grease.

Now that's what you call a sympathetic, discreet build

That is depressing, horrible! I think you should start an anti-pawn thread if there isn't one, I can think of loads...

A businessman and racing driver I think. Can't confirm whether or not they're powerfully built, but they surely win some sort of Pistonheads award. A stunning way to store your collection of cars!

[FourWheelDrift]

It says purchased from the Quakers by the current owner. Rivercrest Investments bought it from the Quakers in 2006 for £1.85m. Those cars are probably more investments.

[mantis84]

It's Paul Knapfield.

[CharlesdeGaulle]

I don't know who he is, but he has very good taste.

EDIT: Yes I do. Red nose peeking out on the left ramp on pic 24.
