Adderbury, Oxfordshire £1,85m - http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...

Barn conversion with 22acres.

And extensive garaging.

Dunno why but feeling damp everywhere. Bizarre.

Not sure if anyone has posted this. Used to have a nice character house on the plot but knocked down and replaced by this !

Wow.

That's all. Just wow...

My eyes are burning!

So much money, so little taste.

Awesome seems a bargain with 22acres

As with many barn conversions, it is right on top of its neighbours. For close to £2m I'm looking for more privacy than that (nice as the property is):
Google Aerial View
All 22 acres are therefore on one side of the property and are going to be pretty low lying and damp (although the house looks OK from a flood risk perspective):

Shiney black floor tiles are horrid. And if you are going for that look, they need to be seem less, no grout lines, and very large sets. Or better still, proper marble

We've had this before. Very nice if a little remote

Here is one worth saving I hope it doesn't get chopped up

Certainly some outbuildings there ripe for development, into lovely garaging for 40 cars!

Worryingly a quick look through the historical planning application documents for that (lovely) property note that extensive repairs were required following flood damage in 2014, followed by flood defence alterations, wonder if that's when it was last occupied.

I like it when rightmove update their 'special listings' bit ... http://www.rightmove.co.uk/news/unusual-listings-r...

This is my cup of tea ...

[beeej]

ah yes, The Round Tower - it's been on the market for a year, possibly years. It started off at a highly speculative and ludicrous 2.5 or 3 mil.

[ooid]

Not sure if its also posted? I understand might not for everyone, but pretty unique imho!

Looks like a scaled-down 1960s polytechnic building

I really hope that you're talking about a different house...

Indeed.
Few houses posted on this thread manage to match that for tasteless.
Why do they never run out of money before taste...!?

Couldn't disagree more, I love how they've done the conversion on that. Only put-off for me would be the fact that it's "link-detached" (whatever that means).

Link-detached is the posh way of saying semi. It's attached to the other one next door - https://www.google.com/maps/place/51%C2%B013'20.3%...

I think that is an amazing home, and relatively good value.

That's what I figured, I can't understand why anyone would want to throw £2m at a country residence and have immediate neighbours . Nice gaff other than that though.

[RichB]

It's great that we all like different types of houses, makes the landscape more interesting. Personally I have no desire to live in a semi-detached concrete block. That aside I do laugh at estate agent speak; it's "The Modern House" but dates from the 1930s, it's in private grounds but is semi detatched so shared, link attached... etc. They're all knobs.
