That cave looks,error,lovely!
I dread to think what the leccy bill will be, and not being able to turn off the waterfall would be a PITA
And described as being in a "living cave", is that like the giant space worm that almost ate the Millennium Falcon in Empire?

Imagine having to rewire it or run some extra plumbing..

Plus, I imagine this picture was taken when the 'flooding' in this room was at its best..but there is still a puddle and damp patches on show!



ETA: Having looked at more pictures i see that puddles are everywhere in that place, even in the living room..

sad story, guy sounds like an absolute fantasist.

A quick run-down of my opinions, because I know everyone will care...

Boathouse: - Yes please, although will need re-decorating, and I'm concerned about the ceiling height.

New-build Stately Home: - There are so many old ones with history needing care, I fail to see why we need another new one.

Old, overgrown manor: - It's a money pit, sure, but I do quite like it. Sad story about the previous owner.

My offering, back in the Dartmouth area, although it has a bit of a summer island villa feel about it:

Great news too:

"Additionally, there are plans in place for the construction of a swimming pool in the gardens."

They must be colour blind.

I thought "at least they'll take all that junk with them", and then I saw the kitchen.

I know, but to be honest if you're dropping £1.6m + Tax on a new pad, you can probably afford new tiles and worktops!

When i looked at this picture and saw the price i assumed that the interior would be gutted out/derelict!

Seems like a bargains to me..

You’ll need a pressure washer to remove the chalk outline on the patio to the right hand side.

You're doing well to look beyond "The Sandals" décor. The worktops I could live with, the tiles though non!!!!!

I much prefer the tiles over the worktop. At least they're a vaguely seasideish colour

What that lair really needs is:

1. Opening ceiling, through the rock
2. A monorail and
3. Henchpeople in single-coloured uniforms

Incredible! Would make for an amazing rental / holiday let. Can't imagine someone actually living there full time though.

[Uncool]

I bet the wifi coverage around that cave is rubbish...

All I can think of is the Stump Hole Cavern (named after the crippled prostitute) sketch from The League of Gentlemen

Back in Salcombe today, and I can't see much wrong here:

Nice house, but:
- On Main Road, opposite the junction with Devon Road and next to the top of Sandhills Road. The house is situated below the road, it's a bus route and it's where virtually all traffic leaving Salcombe passes. It won't be peaceful.
- It's a long walk down the hill to North Sands, and a bit of a trek down Devon Road into town.

Nitpicking, I know - but I'd prefer something at the bottom of Sandhills Road for the shorter walk down to the beach and flatter walk along Cliff Road into town.

[Bonefish Blues]

Picking of the nits continues - slightly strange having a fireplace in a hallway, and the kitchen is oddly cramped into a corner by the obligatory island. Oh, and I just have a thing about arches.

...but the situation & outlook's lovely, for sure, so I could probably make do

[louiebaby]

Tough crowd...

(Keeps me keen though I suppose.)

[Bonefish Blues]

I'd do the same to mine, and I did the ground-up refurb. plan with the architect!
