They would be.king massive place at >18,000sq. ft., any "normal" family would be rattling around in there!Mind you it's not going to be sold to a "Normal" family realistically.
I was looking at houses at the weekend, two I saw were new builds of 8500 sq.ft and I must say the way they were laid out left me feeling lost.
There were rooms I'd never use so twice that would be overwhelming.

I am guess the McLaren comes with it given the house is empty other then the "fixtures and fittings"http://www.rightmove.co.uk/new-homes-for-sale/prop...
And the house too.

that's going to include the garaging and the gym/swimming pool etc though isn't it? Whats the actual 'living' area' likely to be, less than half that?king massive place at >18,000sq. ft., any "normal" family would be rattling around in there!Still, big, empty, cold, unappealing. All you need is some bid walking around in click-click clack-clack high heels to drive you mental.
I desperately want to sneer at that Wentworth House and call it vulgar and bland etc.
However, I think that is pretty much my dream house. I love it.
It needs some nice antique furniture, more tradition redecoration (I assume it is neutral as a canvas).
I assume at that price it is well made and it has a decent plot in a lovely area).
Outside, it just needs a few years of weathering and some nice flowers.
A lot of the 18k sq ft is the spa bit and servants quarters.
I would also have ground floor kitchen removed (keeping staff kitchen below) as it seems odd in a house like that.
I obviously have no taste!

Lovely area? No I don't think so. Lots of high end houses, all with high walls and fences, imposing gates. 90% of your neighbors aren't at home, as they have multiple homes around the world. Many places owned by foreign companies. No I think its a lonely place, no neighbourhood feeling. However, I think that is pretty much my dream house. I love it.

3.5 acres is a great sized plot as well.

Odd to utterly empty the house, yet leave a car behind
Obviously just put the car there to show what it was for.
I have much larger ones around my pool where I keep gold bullion as I like the way the light reflects off it.
I am liking this place this week! No idea on the flood resistance but it looks a cool place.
