Yes

That’s fantastic

Bigger isn't always better. Or else the bed is too small

This back on the market in Lower Nidderdale. Advertised last year as a newly completed house, now dressed up to look lived in ? Nice spot but not really my cup of tea. Seems devoid of any soul.

All that money and you have to stare at someone else's badly maintained leylandii

Amazing room, isn't it?

Choice of furnishings isn't my bag, but I'd love to make that space my own.

I couldn't sleep in there though - unless a blind

I'd get a custom-made horizontal electric blind that covers the rectangular base of the opening.

Job done!

Exterior designed by an architect.

Interior designed by a penny pinching developer with a lack of logic and taste.

What really irks me is the lounge TV almost touching the ceiling and some random floor standing speakers crammed in around the silly media/fake fire wall.

Spotlight grid spam is alsotypical of a lazy/clueless developer and simple lighting design can transform an interior without costing that much!

It's a stunning place, that's for sure. However, probably a reflection of current times, but I can't help looking at all the huge windows and thinking "that must cost a fortune to heat".....

I doubt it's a room for sleeping in...

I priced up one for something maybe 1/50th that size.

That's a very expensive blind indeed.

Customised swimming pool cover then. Also thermally efficient !

Agree with all of the above, and all points relatively easily fixed. What cant be fixed is the plot location. The design and concept would have worked much better if it wasn't just plonked on a plot of land behind a row of main street houses halfway down the hill.

[thegreenhell]

It appears to be on a North-facing slope, so it won't get much light in winter.

[loughran]

Yes, North facing and on the wrong side of the valley so wont't get much evening sun through most of the year.

Here it is under construction. Fairly well hemmed in. It would have been nice to walk out of the bedrooms onto the roof of the ground floor.

Do properties with a more modest price tag and footprint qualify for inclusion on this thread?

As it is just myself and Mrs Sternhammer, now, most of the places posted on her, though lovely, would be a complete waste for us. For me, I would just like something with a pretty view to look at through at least one window, a little peace and quiet, enough bedrooms to turn one into an office and have guests stay in the other and something a little architecturally interesting, with a manageable garden.

On that basis, This would do very nicely, thank you.

Perfectly acceptable offering and rather nice.
For that money I may like a little more space, but it's a nice spot.

[grudas]

some of the properties here feel a bit.. excessive.

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/130474907

something like this would be perfect for me, enough greenery, far enough from neigbours etc.

[TTmonkey]

Yeah that’s gorgeous.

Still twice what I could afford though.
