This is certainly unusual, takes a bit of looking to get the head round the layout.

Whys there no photos of the outside from the street, is it that bad?

Look at the google maps view. It's not visible from the street.

Watch the video.

Having watched the video I have to say that it's more interesting than 99% of the dwellings posted here and I don't dislike it.

I admire the fact that they've gone all out on the design. It didn't seem light and airy enough for me but I can see it appealing to those with avent garde sensibilities.

Not many pics of the interior suggests it needs "doing", and a lot of lifestyle / drone pics of the area on the listing...

I like that, nice part of the world as well....

I spotted this today while out and about, needs a bit of money spent on it but has a wee bit of history for any F1 fans.

For those on desktops, this link works better:

Tricky one this, it's not particularly desirable from a Property Pawn perspective, but if you were looking to buy in the area, it's a nice thing to have. With a little bit of work you could have a nice enough family home. It's not too far from a station for a commute into Glasgow, and very nicely placed for getting to Loch Lomond and beyond.

Is it a particularly rough little village? It seems to be sandwiched between a couple of quarries, and the A82. Alexandria, up the road, isn't very nice, but I don't really know the rest of the area well.

It's being right on the A82 that will kill it for 99% of people. It would be horrible to be so close to such a busy trunk route.

Handy if you like Vauxhalls though - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.9354449,-4.52802...

He's earned his pennies there!

I disagree. He's just caused a waste of time for prospective purchasers and showing agents.

I've cycled past this a few times and wondered what it was like inside. I really love that some people are willing and able to build exactly what they want. It's not for me, but I don't care about that. The fact that they've gone a little bit mental on it is great.

I especially like the abundance of sand in the lounge area, or whatever you would call that bit.

Totally agree, it's awesomely bonkers

Gold parquet flooring. I'm in. it's like a nightclub done out with The Pier (remember them?) stuff.

Props to someone doing what they want. The inside reminds me of the Fockers house (the movie).

That's so insane that completely against my better judgement, I absolutely love it.

[DonkeyApple]

It looks fun. The key is probably that it's just being itself rather than some pastiche of Blenheim Palace displaying a collection of trophy purchases all made on the same day.

[Doofus]

Blimey.

[Uppercut]

I've looked at the pictures 3 times and still can't get my head round it.

I think it's awesome.

And according to the description it will also soon have the first floating swimming pool on The River Thames. Whatever that may be!

That's something else..... I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at the thought of how much cash has splashed to make that but my god it's certainly unique.

That's not you, is it?

I keep seeing swimming pools that are half in, half out.



Can't help but wonder though, does some sort of shutter come down into the water, or across over the top of the water, or do people just hope the local s won't want to get wet?
