Does this count? I’d love to win this. Not sure about 600mile commute I would have to do for work tho.

And after the first 12 months, you're stuck with a house which obviously won't sell, and costs a fortune to maintain.https://www.winamansionforchristmas.com
The absolute definition of 'poisoned chalice' if you ask me.

I think it will sell, just not for the amount that the people who own it have invested in it. I'm sure you could drop the price to £1M someone would take it off your hands, hardly a poisoned chalice. The absolute definition of 'poisoned chalice' if you ask me.

I'd be concerned about how long it would take to sell. After the first 12 months, you're on your own in terms of running costs, and I get the impression that even one month of that will be costly.I do appreciate that, as long as you sell it for more than £25 (plus agent's fees), then you've not lost anything, but the potential downside is one hell of a risk. At least, it would be for me.

In the terms and conditions it seems to indicate running cost is £5K a month so that is a high cost. I do appreciate that, as long as you sell it for more than £25 (plus agent's fees), then you've not lost anything, but the potential downside is one hell of a risk. At least, it would be for me.
It did sell for £1,375,000 in 2009 though, presumably before all this work was done.
I think you could auction it off for at least £1M without too much worry.
Yup. If you win that then you'd have to look at your finances and make one of two calls:
Place it immediately on the market at a very fair price and be open to offers but knowing that this type of property can take up to two years to sell and that you would need to have the funds to bridge that gap. Or, stick it in the next suitable property auction and be done with it.
Any winner being either naive or greedy is going to get rinsed.

Have we had Harford Manor ("...a 23,000 sq ft “superhome” with a further 10,000 sq ft of outbuildings, set in a 40 acre equestrian estate just outside Windsor, Berkshire.") yet?

Rather liked the look of this in Devon: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...
That would do me. I’d happily take that on and take early retirement.
