Yep. I am with you on that.
Have the pictures been photoshoped to make them monochrome or did they mean to do it like that? Wouldn't give you tuppence for cars either to be honest. laugh

The house is a OTT for me but I'm happy with the style of the interior - clean and clutter free - although I prefer warmer colours.
It looks like the lobby of a posh hotel. Some might like that, most not.

I think it appeals to the Russian oligarch market. Most of those very high end properties seem to be done in that style. They only spend a few weeks a year there so they just want it to look like a top end hotel.

Very very nice. Garages are a bit small mind!
Even more surreal is that the stamp duty alone is nearly £400K!

Is that if it's your only home?
As if it is a 'second' home, it'll be even more...!

Wow that stone work is just unbelievable. How the hell have they managed that?

Stunning view from the pool too.
Amazing, but 5 beds, 9 baths? Why?

Have to say I rather like the place.

What a strange comment. Epworth is quite outside the riot of fun that is Doncaster town centre. Not the highest value area, and not sure what I think of that particular house.

What the pictures don't show you is how close the neighbours' houses or I70 are (c35m and c270m respectively). Google Maps view here.

I'd have no major issues with having neighbours in the general vicinity. Its not like its a Wimpey new build estate. Living somewhere with absolutely no neighbours must be very lonely and isolating....

Same with the road. I assume its not a major highway with 300,000 commuters using it every day, its probably out of site lines from these homes, and I'm guessing they've been designed to minimise the affects of noise etc....

Just down the road from me.

I'd love this place, nice big house with a bit of history which isn't ludicrously ostentatious, separate cottage, outbuildings, plenty of space with 24 acres too.

Very pleasant, but pic 3 makes it look like Escher designed the front entrance.
