I spotted this relatively locally over the weekend. I really like the house and the sound of the barns, but I think the garden would need to go back to being a garden, rather than a paving slab demonstration.

The town is very pleasant with a very good independent bike shop and an excellent Grammar school. Seaton, the nearest seaside town isn't as posh as Sidmouth, but it's gentrifying gradually.

too big and too many rooms - but I still like it

Yep, I like that too.

Size wise, it's on the edge of what is practical for me, size wise - borderline too big, but I reckon I could make it work.

Local.
Rural.
No neighbours.
Garages / workshops.
94 acres.
Can't get much higher round here.

Unfortunately, style wise, I hate it!

[cayman-black]

Price-wise I hate it too!

Nothing shown reflects any element of comfort, does it?

Yes it could do with another set (bigger) of windows at the front and a few decent sofa's and rugs but I could make myself pretty comfortable in that.

EA Said: "built in the late 20th century with later extensive additions. " and it looks it, roof line too meagre, proportions all wrong.

It’s an architectural mess made worse by random additions

quite fond of this one too - unfortunately no interest (or desire for) horses...

This is local to me, and I love it. I'd probably change the decor, but I love the property and it's layout.

Ideally, I'd remove the double garage and reposition it in the back garden, but conservation area plus listing might forbid.

Each to their own but I think that's dreadful.

Probably the most unhomely place I've ever seen on here. It looks like the offices of very expensive divorce lawyers in London.

The garden is also tiny for £800K and seems to be overlooked by lots of new builds.

Second rate botox clinic on Harley St more like it.

Shame that there isn't enough land

I know, it’ll be a tight squeeze - there’s just me, my wife and three cats, so we might have to do a loft conversion….

As for a thread of its own, I should probably do one, but progress will be slow as it’s my sort of retirement project (only 53, so not past it yet!) and we’re not starting it until the Spring.

I’ve had my own bespoke kitchen firm for some time, so we’re really going to go for it in there - think: island as big as Guernsey, separate larder and pantry, booth seating etc.

The first job is this:


Going to make it into a workshop and garage

Stunning place, love to see more of it. Perfect car storage potential too, in a Ferris Bueller day off kinda of way

I love the area (well, Lymington proper rather than where this property is), but this does nothing for me. There was one for about £6-7 MM on this thread a few months ago by the sea that was much nicer IIRC.

You could probably make a killing if you got permission to build execuboxes / retirement bungalows on some of the 130 acres.

This place is an extraordinary mix of the sublime and the horrendous. Rear aspect is a disgrace! But still seems like a lot of house for £750k.

No idea what Wisbech is like - not terribly nice, judging from the property prices.

Apparently it has an "Attached Tripe Garage" - is this the new height of luxury in modern living, somewhere to keep your tripe?

It's like someone started to build a much larger house, but ran out of money and had to make it smaller to finish it, and then got some new builders in to do the back wall without them looking at the front.
