Cool looking place. Bit small though.
A bit small? Seriously? Or am I due a parrot?
Yes, seriously. For a Scottish ‘castellated Baronial house’, at 4,400sqft with that courtyard area is a bit small and consequently, a number of the rooms are awkwardly arranged for pawn. IMHO of course.
Certainly awkward layout, for example the principle bedroom (were not allowed to call it the master now) doesn't have an en-suite bathroom. Only a single garage but I have no idea what the boiler room is all about, perhaps that can be used as a garage too? I'm surprised that it's 4,440 sqft none of the rooms seem that large or have they counted the courtyard? Must confess I didn't do the maths.
That spiral staircase would be for the Master Principal suite for me. Bathroom, dressing room, bedroom. Then secluded reading room above.

It's how we have our current house, with a "parent's floor" the kids aren't allowed in. That bit of separation between bedroom and 'en suite' is nice.
Seriously?
Yep.

They're teenagers. It's somewhat tongue in cheek.

They also each have an en suite, plus a shared additional "living room" that's pretty decidedly a "no adults allowed" zone. Mainly as it's a biohazard.

Ground floor is family. First floor kids and my office. Second floor parents.

Here's another lovingly created hobbit house that seems to be appearing on mainstream media lately.

Don't know if the wall is to keep dwarves in or out scratchchin

I wonder what the story behind it is, whether it's currently owned by the owners of the big house or if it somehow got separated.

Not seeing the value there, must confess. The 50" TV's just hilarious in situ.

Man, that'd make an awesome AirBnB!

Shame there's no covered parking.

I still can't work out how it works as a house?!

Oh... and it's £1.6m
I confess I quite like that, but I do accept that it's likely very compromised

That must be unbearable in hottest summer assuming it doesn’t have full AC throughout.

Likewise in winter must be insane to heat.

I’m sure some people love living in greenhouses!

Plenty of tomatoes over summer!

What's with that person climbing out of the cupboard? Is it a ghost?

The land is quite big yes but I can’t see the value in that at $45m. That’s a staggering amount of money. The house isn’t anything remarkable that I can see.
