Nice, 'lifestyled' to hell - the Study actually shows signs of life. And £3m with a crap Tarmac drive? https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/95356244#/
If that was on Fernden Lane / Tennysons / Bunch it would be £5+ mm

I must be easily pleased, I like that. £3m doesn't seem silly money and the drive is a minor issue, no more so that decorating and constructing a proper triple garage instead of a draughty open barn.
You pays your money and takes your choice.For that budget I would buy something that was a more manageable size, but still exceptionally roomy by national standards (say 3-4k sqft), on one of the nicer roads, walkable into Haslemere (not Hammer / Liphook etc) and the mainline station.
This is up for sale not far from where I grew up, I think belongs to the Halcrow group. Could be really rather nice with another few million spare to bring it up to date.

Yep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invacar. Haven't seen one on the road for probably 30 years or more.
There's a good reason for that.Oil Trash said:
It is indeed what used to be the halcrow offices - I am fairly certain though that their is planning permission for a whole load of new build estate in what were the grounds -
I think there was a scheme approved about 3 or 4 years ago for conversion of the house and various outbuildings into apartments/residential and about 50 new dwellings in the grounds. Escort3500 said:

Very cool. But whenever I see Phoenix I just think of the below;

$8M is, er, punchy. 3k sq ft and 3 bedrooms ain't exactly a mansion so that's a heck of a premium for a name and a view.Particularly when :- "Last Sold $ 1.68M in 2019"

Imagine wanting to change the furniture. Every stick's bespoke.
The point of buying a property like that is to buy a part of the brain of FLW. With that in mind, I can't see why anyone who bought it would want to change the furniture. The thought of waking up every morning in my own private Frank Lloyd Wright museum would moisten me to the point of dehydration. BIG MOLE said:

Most of the furniture and fittings/fixtures are an integral and essential part of the house’s character and quality. Sway said:
Looks to me like a house drawn entirely with a set of french curves
