Lovely characterful rooms, very tastefully done, but a bit lacking in land and PHer car space. I think if you want to be in the Slad Valley you probably want a better view too. But anyhoo...

It’s a nice house. Quite a striking bathroom! Slad Valley is lovely but I think I’d rather be at the other end in artillery range to Stroud than bayonet?

Eloquently put DA!

LOVE the Amsterdam place!

Ditto!

It's bloomin HUGE! And very nicely styled.

The Vineveen one is nice on the inside, but looks a bit "business centre" from the outside

This could be a fun/ruinous project. 9,000 sq ft, 10 acres, close enough to Ashford International. Got to love a kitchen with a minstrels' gallery. And TWO walled gardens!

£1.5 million.

Stuff the expense, that's proper - as in a proper house, obviously lived in by people who love it (but can't afford it any more, or a Pistonhead Dreamer, or any one of a thousand random categories).

What would that be worth if the character had been taken out of it it was given a contemporary makeover in and out?

Extend it both sides out to the boundaries. Massive brick paving across the whole front with some gold topped gates. Sell off 90% of the back garden for affordable housing. Paint every room grey, hit dunelm up for a load of shimmery furniture, glue a TV in every room at the wrong height, pool table and bar the minstrel gallery and a raised dias with an enormous fk bucket in the bathroom. £7m? £8m if there is a cellar you can turn into a pole dancing club?

That's the ticket - or at least the formula

[JF87]

Just rip off that whole facade and put a massive bifold door across it.

Isn't that referenced as the "enormous fk bucket in the bathroom"?

A sex pond should be outside. Preferably in view of the neighbours back bedroom window. Creates ambience!

Off to buy a lottery ticket for that one. Incredible.

Here's a good example of absolutely ruining updating a harmless Grade II house to make it look like a Malmaison hotel. I can just imagine the slimeball flipping burgers on the massive grill, gold Rolex Daytona glinting in the sun.

It is the registered office of Boutique and Bespoke Interiors Ltd, the website for which is easy enough to find

I love this wedding cake of a house, and its quirky interior.

And not too shabby a price for the square footage (5400) in a bit of outer London that is pretty OK,

A more niche method of fking up a nice old house. Looks like a 1990s Best Western inside. Most saddening. Probably cost a fortune to do all that too.

Bonus Greek lyre stencilled on the bog seat.





Been on for yonks, has had a few price cuts along the way. Now £1.7M.

Location may be a little too Gatwicky for some.
