Looks like a Shanghai slum.

Channeling a bit of Maison de Verre I think.

It says that in the advert. Neither are to my taste which is just as well as I can't afford either!

I've no inclination to even spend a night there let alone live there.

Give me that Swiss chalet place on the river with a beach underneath it anyday for 2/3 the price.

Reasonably substantial North Yorkshire village property, largely unremarkable.

Save that the current owners appear to have installed a lapdancing club.

Just what is the obsession with Essex and Yorkshire folk and having bars in their home? Those two parts of the UK seem obsessed with sex ponds, hair products, pool tables, bars and everything that is gopping. Those things belong in pubs/clubs and hotels. I genuinely don’t get it.

To be honest, that house on the top appears to be super-cosy and domestic except the in-house strip-bar. I guess the owner/chap got so fed up with the rest of the place and let it go

I think I'd keep it exactly as it is!

I wouldn't use the "entertaining" room day to day, it'd be fun doing the reveal with friends and associates though, while keeping a poker face.

Any time I see that LED underlighting I want to be sick a little bit

Bet you'd struggle big time to keep a poker face though

Maybe, in which case I'll just hand it over to Mrs PR for the WI meetings.

Enough of the wannabe strippers in cold, damp England.

£1.6m in S.W. France, and sod your Brexit.

I can tick all those boxes apart from the hair products, I've no great fascination with them if i'm honest.

The sex pond i'll accept was a waste of money, used once or twice now it just sits there burning money, perhaps it'll be used again in the summer.

The home bar/pool table/games room i wouldn't be without though. I love it and anyone that comes round to the house loves it as well, all the enjoyment of being in a pub/club with none of the associated downsides.

Great until the kids get older and your house turns into the local youth club?

I'm the only kid in the house fortunately but yes, i could see this being as an issue for some.
