I'm generally not a fan of those types of properties, but there's a lot to like about that place.

That's a winner for me.

Agreed, there is nothing I don't like about that place. Except not really wanting to live in the Midlands.

I wonder if that is someone senior in the motor trade being next to Gaydon and all...

What is the car in the garage?

[Bonefish Blues]

Can I be first to say public footpath?

Porsche 918 Spider.

I like that too. I'm not sure the picture of the knife drawer adds much value for the prospective purchaser though.

Agreed. It's a lifestyle pic, isn't it!

I know we all love to carp about minor details in houses we can't afford and about stuff that will be going anyway, but who wants a TV in the bathroom?

[Spice_Weasel]

I think The Sugarhill Gang started that trend

and I carp on about those carping on

Really though, as someone who doesn't own a telly, seeing one in a bathroom is jarring AF to me.

xactly. As it is you have a lengthy walk down loads of steps with your weekly shop in the pouring rain! Might look all very nice but not at all functional. As a side issue, where did the mill race once go? Presumably under the mill but one would expect a mill to have some evidence of a stream yet there is none. All very odd to me.

The mill race is still visible in the map view, but there's no trace of it on the satellite photo. It looks like the mill race went through the middle of the building, and they've reused the space for the indoor pool.

I think its to disguise the real use for that pole

Have a look for Lighthorne Heath new town, 3000 dwellings now in build a mile away

And it's literally only two small fields away from the Aston Martin factory and test track at Gaydon.

That's lovely, however too close to the car factories and test tracks for my imaginary millions.

Don’t think that would bother me.

Problem is there are two huge new build estates growing towards it, unless you own all the land you may find yourself surrounded by Taylor Whimpeys finest.

I haven’t been down the road past Lighthorne and Gaydon in ages so wasn’t aware of the new builds. I’m not surprised though. Stratford and Warwick have expanded hugely in the last few years.

I went down two weeks ago to view a house, the noise from the M40 was incredible. I suspect it would be just as bad in that house.
