Yep!
( = my parents' home until 2002 was carpeted like that!)

That's lovely, but Park Street is mental on a Friday and Saturday night. I'd have the fixer-upper townhouse listed on that site, in proper Clifton.

Yep, a lovely find that fixer-upper and I really hope that the council don't allow it to be butchered into flats...
In fact, it's a shame our own HarryF isn't in the market for a Bristol property, I get the feeling he and his partner could turn that into something utterly wonderful.

Who cares?! Look at the garage!

Actually, our kitchen was carpeted when we moved in to our place. As were the bathrooms. Kitchen carpet lasted a few weeks right up until the point the washing machine leaked. Bathroom carpets didn't last much longer. Terrible idea!

A mile or so from me. This place could do with a little modernising but look at the man cave!

That’s a good size isn’t it! It’s a very strange house to play ‘through the keyhole’ with. The railings at the front suggest Indians and the Merc and old Jag suggest older Indians but then the man cave and funky front door and panoramic window suggest middle aged Englishman but the wood panelling, dado rail stuff, living room in general and conservatory all suggest older Englishman. It looks like it’s all been a lifetime’s work and done for themselves rather than for show which is unusual these days and is in fact weirdly homely as a result.

That is a no from me until they change Estate Agents!

Eh! Who doesn’t like ‘no more boom and bust’?

We bought our place through him/them. It was nearly a deal breaker!

[DonkeyApple]

Did you ask if he had any half price gold left?

Seems pricey to me.
Low Fell is nice enough but that's right on the A167 and with no floorplan I'm suspicious as to how big that garage actually is (the Estate Agent super-wide-angle-expand-o-lens was definitely fitted for that photo).

Must be 5 metres wide just from the cars in there, and longer than that, probably about 10x5 give or take? Pretty hefty however you slice it.
No floor plan is a black mark though.

Oh I don't know if the house is the same one in the brochure it's a real Tardis.

hahahaha. Well spotted.

Living up to the namesake.

Ok. Probably a repost, and yeah I know it is Wentworth, but I quite like this. Not the price, but the building, and it is not the stereotypical White House-esque mansion.

Nice...That looks like real quality. ex US Ambassador's house. I guess if you can afford it, the price doesn't matter.

I think its stunning. Shame its not somewhere nicer, like down on the coast somewhere.

In one of the photos you can see the drone pilot....

There is a distinct impression of a lady's front bottom in one of the pictures in the brochure. A virtual pint for the first to find it.

(BTW the brochure is rather mahoosive in MB).

I've spotted two in the interior decor and several dozen milling about the clubhouse.

Ridiculously priced but extremely impressive and beautifully appointed. Love the Art Deco period and that’s as good a new effort at it as you’re likely to see. But £30m?
