And near me. IIRC the big house is newish, the original farmhouse is the smaller stone house.

The farmer's widow lives at the end of the drive in another house.

Built in 1987 according to the agent’s brochure.

You'd have 56 acres to play with, enough to avoid the riff-raff I'd say.

I'd still be a few quid short. Last time I went there was 1984, helping spread the contents of the dairy unit slurry lagoon

The exterior is grim. Who designed the pool. I don't like that brick colour either-too industrial, like a council building

[Bonefish Blues]

I like it, an interesting take on the white modernist box.

Modernist tends to be quite functional exterior wise. I'd get rid of the pool personally. The interior is very nice imo



On the subject of homes with pools that need filling in.

This house has been for sale for ages. Granted it needs a lot of updating inside. But anybody got ideas as why it hasn't sold. It's on a relatively desirable estate, overlooks a golf course which I assumed was a plus point for those types. Looks like it has enough trees to not be overlooked much.

I'm surprised it hasn't even been bought to demolish and build something more contemporary
Purely the high price?

Not the one on the boundary of the back garden I’d say.

[C Lee Farquar]

It is on the Darcy Dalton way footpath which I presume attracts a number of bobble hats. 5 million seems optimistic to me. It's not prime Cotswolds, the house doesn't quite carry it off imo. Footpaths, shared drives etc

Probably the one I’m referring to. Goes along the drive from east to west, to the north of the house?

[FourWheelDrift]

I'm sure there's just thousands walking along there every day. It goes past the house and on into a series of ploughed fields and then comes out at St Andrews Church, Great Rollright, a right mecca for Christians that place, full house every night.

I pity the poor sod that feels that is worth 2.2 mill of their hard earned. Its an estate house, a big one granted, with a dubious pool extension and you can almost reach the back fence from the house.
I have no idea about the area but anything nice had better be 5 mill or that's a 900k house.

We’ve got one that passes at the back of our place, on the edge of a small village in a rural area. It leads to a church and a series of ploughed fields too. And is a mecca for ramblers, horse riders and mountain bikers. Some of them are a PITA, esp the speeding MBers.
