Could someone lend me about £800k so that I could buy it and do some work on it, that would be grand.

It even has servant quarters

We could buy it together, ThatDude.

I want to slide down the bannister.

It has 2 staircases. I've always wanted a house with 2 staircases. And a butlers pantry Envy

It's beautiful but the ceiling in the lounge photo looks identical to the one in our period house which turned out to be asbestos and the thought of that would put me off Sad

Just discovered the plans. It has a butler's pantry, and a larder!

I am going to play the lottery this week.

It is quite a good price (unless it is full of asbestos)

It's lovely and so reasonable for the size. I'd love a turret or two.

But it needs shed loads to be spent on it, so I'm oot.

It's lovely Smile needs loads of decorating/sprucing up so it doesn't look like an old lady's handbag inside...but the bare bones of the house are beautiful...it's worth 10 times the value of my house Sad

I agree the bare bones are beautiful - not to mention the view!

Try to comfort yourself by thinking of how much work a house that big would be. Imagine the gardening! Wine

That's my house! We're selling it because we need somewhere bigger.

In my dreams...

'Old lady's handbag' really made me laugh.

Is it an OAP home? It looks like a day centre or something.

I've been watching too much Crickley Hall... all that wood panelling


But granted, it is beautiful

I would de-lady-handbag it thus

My house looks like the inside of an old lady's handbag.

That house needs a lot of work. I think a doctor or two from ninewells will be interested though.

Ooh no! That last house you linked to has had the soul ripped out of it! I have an arts and craft house and it's all a bit dusty and weird colours and modern stuff just looks utterly wrong in it.

That kind of thing makes the baby jesus cry MmeL.

Lovely! But... it is in Dundee Grin

I even like the retro kitchen.

I can only imagine what the Campden Hill one costs.... £30m?

It would look different once it had furniture in it.

I love clean and uncluttered (which you would never know, looking at the anaglypta walls and the fringed lamps in my house).

I'm much cheaper than you MmeLinrod, my dream house in only £400,000 - I'm not putting up a link in case someone buys it before I have chance to win the lottery. I would probably sell my soul to get it, any takers?
