Abandoned because of a Graboid infestation?

Until not that many years ago it was rendered, what moron would bury that beautiful brickwork?!

That's very special. Although the alignment of the windows vs the gables is one for the teeth-itch thread. It feels you can practically read the evolution of the house through the brickwork. They've done a stunning job on that. Definitely labour of love.

Just found the 'rendered' view from a few years back. Where the hell did the rainwater go?

^ a lot of cash has been spent on that place - I suspect that the roof has been altered to drain to the front and the back, rather than just the back. The ground works and landscaping alone would have cost 6 figures. No garaging though....

Historically, brick buildings were often rendered to make them weatherproof. Don’t know if that’s the case here obviously, but it might explain it. Looks much better in brick though.

Lovely looking place, did they run out of money when it came to the kitchen though?

... usually with a cement render which can cause more problems than it cures, unfortunately.

We can vouch for that. The only bit of our old house that was cement-treated (in the 1960s we think) is the only bit with any moisture coming through.

I'm from just down the road in North Muskham, originally. Southwell is great, but the busy-ness of the main road and lack of garaging there would put me off...

You could definitely tempt me with Fiskerton Manor, just down the road though...

(Admittedly, the interior isn't as nice as "yours" though...)

Jesus Christ!! One of my oldest and best friends family used to own there! He bought it (IIRC) 26 years ago for £350K, and sold it about 10 years ago. I know that house very well.

All of the white rendered part to the front has been added since, there used to be a four car garage there.

Really noticed it this time last year when walking from the car park down to the pub for a cheeky pint...

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I don't recall Tillycorthie Mansion House, Aberdeenshire - £1.5m. It has one hell of a feature.

Gothic 3 winged (C shaped) mansion.


The central space has huge glass atrium and it's an original feature too.



Nicely and cleanly decorated inside too, as in it doesn't look like it's got a leaky roof, draughty windows and wall pointing needing doing. So might not be the typical Scottish moneypit.

I like this, on the river.....

Built in 1911 from steel reinforced concrete... Mortgage could be more of a challenge than usual!

[FourWheelDrift]

Built just like a railway station, a bridge or the Michelin Building in London and looking better than most from that period.

Weird property down the road from my office....

River frontage in Stratford Upon Avon though...

By the quality of the furniture looks as if they ran out of money.

It's been on the market a few times recently, and as a rental, not exactly furnished to support the valuation!

I like the slipper launch outside, that's classy.

I posted that a couple of years ago as I quite like the river frontage and the prospect of knocking it into one big place. I did ignore the value for money though...... but I think it is ok!
