Nice spot, but a charmless house (G-Class and a Grenadier, too).

Rooms suffer from being just a bit too big, perhaps?

Refurbed Lake District pawn near Windermere. Think I would want to warm the interiors up a bit. Kitchen is crying out for a Lacanche range and some warmer flooring. But it has the location, 4 berth garage and looks to be mostly sorted inside.

£4.5m

It has the whiff of successful criminal about it.

I like the position, close the local golf club which would suit me, but it could get a bit cold wet and windy up there often, it's a big place as well the kitchen diner is about the same size an average UK home as an example.

I think on a lovely day you'd want it, on a cold wet blustery day not so much and has the EA taken some of the photos with a wide angle lens as that seems to lower the ceilings and widen everything which in those rooms isn't needed.

If I'm spending over £4.5m on a place in the lakes, a lake view would be an absolute must.

Cracking place mind, although I'm not sure where the successful criminal thing comes from. You'll have to explain that one to me Louis.

Nice place, money no object but maybe got fed up of the isolation.

Serious spirits drink set up with a full bar and another few bottles in the office. I like a nice whisky myself but I do wonder with these houses with the massive spirits collection, is it purely for show or are they actually drinking it, cant imagine an isolated house like that is having mates dropping around regularly for a drink and then driving home? Topical but once opened whisky doesnt last forever and before you know it after a few months your expensive whisky tastes crap (comment on the basis that this house has a lot of different types of spirits so they cant be drinking them all).

Probably on balance more pawn than nightmare

Most of the bottles appear to be unopened.

All the reception rooms are dresed and the bedrooms are anodyne and bare.

The whole place looks like a house for showing off in.

I mean he’s his own man, self-made, and he shouldn’t give the slightest st what I think. But the living areas of the house look very unlived in.

Only place to put the TV is on back of kitchen counter, pretty much on the floor.

fk that.

I thought the ideal positioning was to have the top of the TV level with your eyes when sitting down?

If that's right then if anything that TV is too high!

It's being used as a B&B at present so likely it's only there so guests can watch the news/weather at breakfast if they want.

"Under the current planning permission, the design designates that the building will be unified and restored with particular respect to its historic features. Many, though not necessarily all original, have considerable heritage value... historically valuable cornices, architraves and panelling are to be be retained and sensitively restored. Where historic features have been lost, the most appropriate features will be installed and original windows reconditioned... the ceiling will be raised to become closer to its original height across the level; traditional cornices, skirting boards, architraves and doors will be returned; and the staircase and panelling are to be protected and restored."


Executive Summary: Bend over, no lube will be provided

Gosh, that's quite a thing.

Is it more of a commercial opportunity? A spa or retreat or some such?

Looks like a transplant from Essex. I looked at it and this fellow sprang to mind

I'm not sure as it's close to a railway line and an A-road.

It may be heresy but I'd probably convert it into flats.

He rents it out as a film set, it was a tart's boudoir in the latest season of 'The Lincoln Lawyer'.

I’d have thought so with that amount of floorspace etc. Or upmarket apartments perhaps?

Either way, you’ll have to have a good relationship with the conservation officer given the various listings

Thats amazing - and seems to have sitting tenants for income? What a thing, not really a house, but as a project it has so much going for it...
