In short, once the basic mechanics were laid out to me it suddenly had no appeal whatsoever.
The final statement was that in terms of true value it's worth how much the local farmer will pay for the land and that's pretty much it.
In the days when I had cash (many years ago), I nearly bought a chateau... I think the point of these types of properties is that it's throw away money - you have to know going in that you might lose the cash. It's about being in love with an ancient property, whatever the cost aspect might be. If you hope to recover, or even make, money, you might live there feeling rather desperate about it. I still dream of owning such a place and will happily noodle on the type of sites above...The final statement was that in terms of true value it's worth how much the local farmer will pay for the land and that's pretty much it.
Any worries about loss of capital would be assuaged by the fact that you owned such a place and created amazing memories. Or at least that's what I tell myself.

It is nice but...if I had that money I'd want a proper sea view and not a crowded river mouth. Picky sod that I am.
I generally find a basic sea view terribly boring. It is after all just a wall of one shade of blue eventually meeting another shade of blue. Ultimately, you could just build a wall across your patio and paint it blue for an instant 'sea view' in the middle of a town 
. Sitting over a nice estuary where there is nice stretch of water, trees, nice properties and watching the comings and goings of potterers while consuming gin is more appealing to me.DonkeyApple said:

But of course.
Perhaps I see the appeal of the house now. What better to add a bit of frission to your sex pond frolics than knowing Gerald and Viv might be watching from their 15ft dinghy below?

Phil, that's not what I meant when I said I wanted to do it in front of a mirror.

Nice place. Man Belrose has got expensive though. Like all of Sydney I guess. No way in hell I can afford to get anything halfway decent despite owning 2 hours up the road.

Vast and nicely redone vicarage in commutable range of London for a touch under £2M. Location maybe a bit too Reading-y.

I like that. First property I've seen in the £2m range for a long time that ticks so many boxes.
It's nice to see a large home that has a modest frontage. It's all too common for something of this size to have gold topped gates and an oversized portico glued to the front so as to project the sudden arrival of wealth.
Not too much land. Just enough. I quite like Berkshire as well. Frankly, I could have seen myself buying that this time last year but I reckon the general running costs would be eye watering.
