Incongruous sex pond is incongruous!

So much value.
‘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.
Must have been one of the earlier same sex marriages I’m guessing then.....?

hehe

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?
You're probably right but everyone else is talking about the stone/glass/swimming pond place, I thought.
Apologies - I was talking about the beach hut place biggrin

I quite like this, for a "new money" kind of place. The layout is a little confusing, I'd want to know more about the stair locations and so on, but I think there's a lot to like.

I work at Exeter Airport too, so the inclusion of the Helipad could actually be very useful, for commuting purposes.

(Let's ignore the fact that the kind of lottery win I'd need to buy it would pretty much negate the need to commute to work.)

Would be perfection if it were not for the low ceilings, IMO. smile

"Dartmouth", but on the better side of the river, imo. I'll take it.

Strangely there appears to be no way to get from the kitchen to what's called the dinning room. scratchchin

I think there is, you can see a line for an open door, equal to one on the other side, just a badly drawn plan wih a solid wall without the break for the door

from the floor plans the stairs seem to come out in the brown area to the east of the master bedroom (beyond the dressing area) on the top floor. Pic 2 shows this area as a grey bump-out behind the bedroom.

I think the layout works quite well - each bedroom is self-contained and away from the next.
The ground floor makes the most of the westerly view, with the utility room conveniently sited facing northeast, sunny entrance hall & stairs with a large southerly aspect.

Love the fact that it used to be the Golf Course Clubhouse - golf courses are often situated on the best tracts of land, so to have the only house for quite some distance surrounded by land that can't be built on (National Trust) is quite a coup! see:

for details of a great back story

A bit dodgy trying the cycle in the dark, across the bedroom to the dunny.

"This Estate is close to many popular amenities including Soho Farmhouse, Bicester Village, Daylesford Organic Farm."

All shopping and pampering needs covered by those three!

Lovely place. Nicely decorated, a few income-generating cottages on the estate, and not in the arse-end of nowhere.

There are worse parts of the world to live than North Oxon. We've been here for 30 years or so and my only real criticism is that somebody put the bloody sea too far away smile

It is owned by a property developer that just got declared bankrupt. He was famous for being rich in his teens through development.
