Save for the amusingly bad EPC rating.

Amazed they bothered, seeing as it's listed.

Exposed stonework reminds me of the American tourist at Stonehenge: "It'll look great when it's finished".

I’m struggling to find poor value in this:

Yeah - some of the interior is a bit too woody but with some modest changes it’d be lovely.
Intrigued about the extra properties.
I doo have a soft spot for a swimming pond too.

As it stands it looks like a fantastic place to serve a penance and break out the willow for a bit of self flagellation.

Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.

Not too keen on swimming with the leaches but no garaging is the killer for me. I'm out.

Swimming pond is a cool idea but the unfinished bits are just that. The rest of it looks like someone has chucked a few sticks of furniture in for the pics. You'd expect to find it empty and sad when you arrived.
I'm sure it would be nice with a decent amount of lime plaster and a couple of years.

So much value.

WTAF is going on with the neighbours to the NE?

Do you mean the house with all the tat/scrap in it, or the interesting spillway/pond construction from the lake to the north?

I meant the one with the tat all over it, which admittedly does look marginally less ste in the bing birdseye photos.

The spillways/construction to the N is/was the ash disposal site for the (decomissioned) Ironbridge power station. Not sure I fancy 5 million tons of coal ash on the doorstep!

Relax, it's not going anywhere.

I like some of the ways they have made outside/derelict bits useful just buy sealing them up with glass, but god..some of those wooden rooms are just horrendous!

Has potential though, as you say.

Grounds are nice but the house does nothing for me whatsoever.

Wow. I'd love that, although I'd want to modify it a lot. More window please. I imagine super liable to flooding too.

Very cold and unfriendly - looks like a Nordic youth hostel where people get murdered.

It'll be nice when it's finished.

You’re basically buying a plot. The house is terrible and not worth saving/modernising/ extending.

It's Grade II listed. The house isn't going anywhere.

Possibly parrots whooshing in all directions due to insufficient quoting? I think Escort3500 may have been referring to the Welsh beach-hut?

Has it underfloor heating, its going to be a bitterly cold house in winter.

You're probably right but everyone else is talking about the stone/glass/swimming pond place, I thought.

‘After purchasing our dream Georgian farmhouse in the countryside, we set about with a full, sympathetic and rather stylish refurb that made it a simply delightful dream home.

But it was after a weekend away at Latitude with the girls and returning to find that Steven had purchased an old Biffa Bin, filled it with urine and semen, then heated it all up to 40c and expected me to climb into it, that I understood why my mother had warned me all those years earlier not to marry a man who didn’t even know how to spell Stephen.

And this was when I decided to leave Steven and have the property disposed of.
