You wonder why they didn't just make them terraced. No windows on side walls, looks like the gutters almost touch. Good luck getting scaffolding up the side if you needed to!TTmonkey said:

its amazing that someone can own a million quid plus house and have such utterly lacking levels of taste in terms of decoration and possessions. If you told me it was a student let I'd understand.
I think this is an example of one that has been "in the family" for years. It's just aged, and for these particular owners, they prioritise different things in their life. Sounds good that the roof is done though.louiebaby said:

Could easily spend another £250k getting it right.
Courtyard and front garden landscaping, taking the front wall back for extra parking, new kitchen, new bathrooms. Every room needs gutting IMO.
If it were mine as a keeper I'd be tempted to convert the whole top floor into a master suite, with dressing room and bathroom.

Ten/twenty years ago most million pound houses were just normal, affordable family homes sitting at 3/4 times pretty standard incomes. The next person to buy it at this new price level is very unlikely to be stumping up a million in cash but trading in a house they bought for bugger all that is now worth 600+ while taking on a mortgage at 5x income. They will probably furnish it via a credit card binge at Dwell and it will look lovely for a few years until all those new items age and look dated and the income is drained to pay off the mortgage and cards and then in twenty years time when they come to downsize it will all look shagged again.

Blimey. Did somebody kick your dog?

Looks like it's rented. Cables and wires everywhere, beds not made, kitchen cluttered, garden untidy -just what estate agents hate when taking the photos.
You never know, I looked round one that was a state in the pics and a state in person. Owned. Had walls in need of plastering, astroturfed garden that most butchers would have turned down as too fake looking for their counter, shagged kitchen, the whole lot.Davey S2 said:
It's been on before. Very nice, but VERY close to that church.

The map view for that is disastrous - e.g. public road going up to the church and it's not the Cotswolds

interesting looking building. Needs some proper nice furnishings though.
Grounds need to mature too.

I expect the terrible listing (including odd floor plans in Greek? first...) is due to having planning to convert into a block of flats.
As an aside I worked there occasionally over a 2 year period a long time ago. Never met the owners.
