I'd still rather have this as my "domain"

I think that was in 'The Night Manager'

Yup:

Daily Mail said:

La Fortaleza, a 17th Century fortress, is said be Spain’s most expensive property. In The Night Manager, it is the lair of ‘the worst man in the world’ – billionaire arms dealer Richard Roper, played by Hugh Laurie.

(Apologies for quoting the Daily Mail.)

ETA - just spotted the sex pond at the far end of the pool. Ahm reluctantly ooooot.

Its not built in. So either they will take it with them, or you can get rid, if you don't like.

Needs a garage but this could be pretty interesting

That pylon is a bit close

I don't understand what this is. It says development opportunity, but it already exists? Those are actual photos and not insane 3D renders, right?

Nope renders. And yes that pylon is very close isn't it?!

Some rendering companies do insane work these days. These would have cost a fortune though at this quality.

I live nearby, personally I think Ewen is overrated. I haven't been back to the Wild Duck since Superdry bought it, it's probably better now. But apart from the pub, it's basically a retirement village full of entitled folks, isn't it? Oh, I also think traffic through the village will increase noticeably when the massive development on the south side of Cirencester begins.

Yeah, I had no idea it was economic to do one-offs like that. I mean, I know the quality is possible. i.e. the entire IKEA catalogue is rendered, but they have a good reason and a big budget and a limited set of objects to render. But rendering a one-off house? As you say, that must have cost a fortune.

Lots of very convincing tricks in there too... fake depth of field. Fake blown highlights (fake limited dynamic range). The textures are amazing, but they do fall short up close (pic 7 wood texture in the foreground). Overall though, staggering. Simply amazing.

Sorry to sidetrack the thread. Very interesting diversion for me though.

Not sure if we've had this one? Findon Place in W Sussex.

Yes, that's more like it.

Not to be the 'there's always something' guy, but the proximity of that dual carriageway concerns me.

Those grand interiors are pretty incredible though.

[DonkeyApple]

That is lovely. All the same features as a Chigwell or Alderney mansion but in the right space, setting and time. Although minus a random fkbucket.

The drone taking that pic though is hovering over a dual carriageway, as mentioned.

[bob-lad]

It appears to be a 50 mph single carriageway.
I doubt it would put me off.

Not as much as not having the money to buy it and keep it in that condition

All and sundry going past the house to park at the church and a public footpath

The sign right opposite the entrance says dual carriageway

and for that reason ......

We have them done for our developments. Depending on quantity, they're around £1k each for say four or five. Drops a bit if you're doing more images. Costs more if you're placing them in actual photographs (mainly for the photographer!).

Can't imagine the parishioners kick off too often.

The road isn't as bad as I thought, it's true. I'll put it on the reserve list for now
