Not even if it was given to me.

Compared to some of the stuff in this thread I thought this would be quite popular with the PH massive.

But im sure I could suffer them views in my retirement.

From any one of the multitudes of sofas. There are clumps of sofas throughout like it's some sort of B&B/convention centre.

I'd want a good mobile signal, or maybe walkie talkies to find out if Mrs PR wanted a cuppa.

north wing needs refurbishment - all the walls have been stripped back to brick in the pictures.

that coupled with the Grade 1 listing means that is going to be a very very very expensive house, rather than just a very very expensive house.

nice though - should be a hotel.

Appleton Wiske one is nice.

Have you seen the one in Sadberge (overpriced at £2.5m for a few years now): http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...

D Solely IIRC ? He of the Teesside O&G boom and Cameron Brewery.
His Missus has the most unbelievable Horse Lorries.....

One and the same.

(very O/T but the yacht holiday thread popped up on my timeline. Spotted that you'd gone for a Sense 50 with dock n go. Do a quick google on 'French Kiss' who was wrecked following a malfunction with the system. Bizarrely I saw one in Mallorca a couple of weeks back and it was so beautiful I started doing some serious research on them. Just need to find £300k down the sofa...)

This would do for me and not far away. Barn conversion with 3 acres and another barn for cars. Bit of work to do externally but generally looks good.

Im about £100k short which is annoying or I would be going for a viewing!

Its right under the flight path though but I could probably live with it.

downstairs lovely, upstairs a bit pokey - think I would connect house to barn and add a lot of extra living area and bedrooms

calling that Dorking seems a bit of a stretch but sounds better than Crawley or Gatwick I suppose!

I often wonder if there is such a thing as too big - there is

That looks okay but I think I'd be banging my head on those beams a fair bit.

I could sort that place out
We've a house in DL10, so know the area pretty well.

Absolutely nothing at all I even remotely like about that. Indian owners?

And WTF is the point of pic 14? unless the gaudy carriage clock is included in the sale as an inducement?

Looks like an actual good project to me too. No water ingress or anything really bad. Just looks stripped.

Sent it to my Dad in Teesside to see if he fancies a project. Would love it.

Agreed, vile in every way. And 2 kitchens?

Childs play, just finished a house with 4 kitchens - staff, main and 2 chefs kitchens for catering etc.

That house is disgusting though.

Grand Designs house, think it also featured in the BT Broadband ad?

We've been trying to decide whether to move or work with what we have - my wife sent me the link to it the other day and although I'm tempted I'm not sure I have the appetite for a big refurb job on an older place.
I imagine it's more than a lick of paint, kitchen and bathroom job (and it may well go for well over the price on the ad, since it's an auction).

We also looked at this as a project http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope... - it has what looks likely to be a collapsed drain under the house, resulting in a massive crack right through the house. It might not be a massive job, but then again would you take the risk?
The outbuildings were very tempting, the garage in the pictures is attached to a barn that would make a superb workshop/storage area for cars, and there are several other large barns plus stabling but all the outbuildings are seriously neglected, sadly.
Again, we passed on it - we could probably face doing the house or the outbuildings but not both and we'd never agree which of those would get done

That one looks like a lovely project, but only 1 km from Scotch Corner, I'd have to think long and hard about traffic noise!

It would be far cheaper to knock it down and start again.
