I hope they built yours better than they renovated mine...10 years later and I'm still fixing issues.

JJ can no doubt help seeing as it looks like it's his company?

Having a little look locally, it's nice to see even lovely Devon isn't completely immune to the McMansion...

Like that a lot

Without Googing I'd say that's Sir William Lyons' mansion.

That's lovely. Not much I'd change there.

In the first photo.... what sort of bandit puts a shed like that there?

In fairness it's been doing the rounds in the classic car type magazines with Lyons era Jaguars as the object of the piece. You know the sort of thing, "Octane takes Lyons' finest Back Home"... sort if thing.

If the owners Mrs is anything like mine thats the shed of shame, where you are told to go when you've drunk texted your ex

That's the exact opposite of what I was trying to convey, but if we all liked the same thing, the world would be a boring place.

Hahaha, that photo belongs in real estate nightmares.

What the hell were they thinking? Clearly you care a great deal about appearances and historical architectural values to consider buying such a house, why would you throw it all out the window for a bit of cheap storage!?

This is quite nice

Indeed, what were they thinking!

[Vroom101]

Do the rules state the house must be for sale?

If not, I'd like to nominate this one for your consideration.



Modest compared to most of the palaces that are on here, but as a home to live in and enjoy, I think it's perfect.

How about some very affordable former British property () the other side of the channel. We could ask for Normandy back as part of our Brexit negotiations

18th Century Normandy Cottage, contemporary interior, £321,212 - http://www.chestertons-international.com/property/...

OOI why did Brexit affect his plans? Presumably he could still buy it and we're still in Europe for another 2 years.
