There are a load of places like that popping up on the riverside near me. Personally I think they’re hideous. McMansions that have zero architectural merit and have zero appeal.

Don't normally comment on the ridiculously out of reach stuff but that's a truly special historic gem. Hopefully it'll be bought by someone who will respect and maintain its heritage.https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/148155719
How the Cheshire monstrosity can be listed at 50% more is completely beyond me.

Yes, it’s lovely. 20 acres round there quite a lot. My grandparents lived close by, it’s quite a unique landscape for the south. Sandy, lots of snakes!How the Cheshire monstrosity can be listed at 50% more is completely beyond me.
I have a thing lately for exposed oak / beams so to me this in some of the pics looks mostly quite nice

I also don't like the fact that there are actually only two reception rooms. Why do people insist on having open-plan houses?

Somebody posted a big old gaff in Surrey a few weeks ago and at first glance I thought it was lowland Scotland.
Asked my mum about that house “ Nearly 60 years ago, I had a school friend who's Dad was caretaker or gardener there.
We used to play hide and seek when the owners were away”
“ Used to go in the house and had a Narnia moment in massive wardrobe with loads of real fur coats inside. One with a foxhead 😝”

Or they are nudists / exhibitionists?
Not sure why anyone would need more than two reception rooms. Kitchen, lounge, sorted.
Unless a formal dining room counts as a reception room? But then that could just be within a kitchen/diner/lounge area.
Horses for courses, I guess

I like it, I can see why many would not but i like the modern clean nature of it.
There's nothing modern about it, it's edwardian pastiche.RSTurboPaul said:

We've, for a long while had, and will always want, a house with more downstairs rooms than upstairs. Physically separate rooms for lounge, drawing room (for want of a better term), dining room, kitchen (although ours also has casual dining and a sofa) and study (ours is called 'the library'). There's only two of us, but open plan means noise (and cooking smells), and we both do different things during the day.Or they are nudists / exhibitionists?

Plus, when we entertain, it's on a more intimate basis than filling a designer warehouse full of revellers.
As you say; horses etc..

Beam me up, Mr Scott.https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/148160444#/...
We've beams, old ones, and the novelty has worn off. I'll happily have plastered ceilings next time.

Needs a bit of tarting up and 'de-versailles-ing' inside ngl - doesn't look like some rooms have seen any decorating since 2003. But you don't get that kind of lakefront on Windermere come up very often - even though I can't help feel £8mil is a little hopeful.

That has just shot straight into my top three of this thread for me.Needs a bit of tarting up and 'de-versailles-ing' inside ngl - doesn't look like some rooms have seen any decorating since 2003.
