I do love an underground garage, and the setting is not bad. Otherwise - meh.

There's no nothing in sight. A couple of pictures and lots of (plastic?) flowers in cases, but it doesn't look like anyone lives there.

Is this the house for which the word 'windswept' was coined?
Wasn't that garage a build thread on here many moons ago?
I’m pretty sure you’re right, but the one I’m thinking of was, in my mind, in Ireland. Also thought it had grass on the roof.

I could very likely be wrong on both counts and it does look really familiar. Can’t find the build thread though.
The PH'er house you are thinking of was in Northern Ireland, the garage was of similar construction and indeed had a grass roof, and the whole house and grounds were different league nicer.

Furnished by somebody who is trying desperately hard to be quirky and eccentric.

Pic after that one is a ridiculous choice by the estate agent for what is effectively the lead-in pic to show the house. Your first thought is '£2 milliion for that?!'. I nearly gave up at that point and expect a few others would do likewise.

Not the only example of really ramming the quirk down the viewer's throat there, very forced.

Nice building, interesting original features but pretentious nick-nacks. £5mrofl I’d much sooner take the Totnes house for £3m less smile

I always thought Jimmy Page's house is the height of quirk and unlivable. I think he even admits that. It is the reason why he hate Robbie Williams though as Robbie is building an iceberg basement and the vibrations could irreversibly damage the ‘richly decorated’ interior of Tower House

Vince Clarke of Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure fame owned this a while back iirc.

EDIT - he owned another circular house in the same street that was previously owned by Keith Moon of the Who, then Kevin Godley of 10cc.

The blurb I found says this:

The present owner, the technology entrepreneur Osman Kent, who bought it from Manzanera in 1997, put it on the market in 2016 for £9 million, but it has been reduced it to £6.5 million. "It just has not found the right person yet, but it will do.

Manzanera - Phil of Roxy Music.

I've been in that house and it's a hell of a lot bigger than it appears from external photos.

That's about all it has going for it though, £5million is crazy money.

If I had that to spend in the UK: I'd get a 2-bed flat in Mayfair for around £1million, a period 5 or 6 bed in Devon/Cornwall for say £2million and perhaps a bolthole in Scotland with some land in a remote area for around £500K.

Think that still leaves me £1.5million to live on.


Seriously, £5million is a joke, I would bet it sells for half that and that's only if a buyer is daft enough.
