And just noticed this is back on the market (was SSTC). Seems a decent place for the money if you're into horses - quite a shortage of nice equestrian properties around here - most have the land but the properties are stholes.

I like that one seems good value for money, decent access to the A1 as well.

We need a different thread to post these in - not pawn exactly, but also very much not nightmare. Downstairs cloak, the kitchen and bathroom particular highlights. The vendors will be lovely people, you just know.

I love this, what a time capsule. Let’s hope it stays like that and doesn’t get ‘modernised’

That house would bring me warm, fuzzy memories of my childhood (grandmother's house in Middlesex)! Lovely.

As doe the vendors being lovely people, I'm not sure. Shades of Hyacinth Bucket...

I wonder if grey velour and "live, love, laugh" will be doing the same for others in 30 years? We may joke, but one day, that stuff will be retro-nostalgia.

I reckon Hyacinth lives nearby:

not sure, that looks haunted

And the first one doesn't?

I ain't afraid of no ghost...

There are lots of lovely buildings in Glasgow which have been left to rot and generally been neglected but I suppose that comes with the downfall of an empire and no longer having shipbuilders or tobacco merchants or slave traders needing huge mansions

It's easy to take the piss. The teddy bear bedcovers and curtains being particularly twee. But you can see a lot of love and care was put into this and, whilst not to my taste, is much more honest and original than the 100% grey imagination free horrors you see.

They're both lovely solid houses.

I actually don't live a million miles away from her 'actual' house and I used to run the PO on her brothers Council Estate

I wasn't really, but I take the minor scolding

It's a lovely solid house as you say. Lots of care has been lavished, clearly, and I have no truck with 'teddy room' - perhaps decorated for the much-loved grandchild to visit? However, everything is just ever so slightly-too-big and just ever so slightly-too-ornamented to sit comfortably in the house.

I just look at that house and it proves to me how much my kids batter my house!

That's a high scoring property - burgundy and butterscotch bathroom suites, plus a genuine Hostess trolley. It loses points for not having strip lights in the kitchen, but is redeemed by the tongue and groove cladding.

Quality stuff.

For those with a Bauhaus thing, try this (not far from me and a very nice location) for just £2.5M with 20 acres, although just the annex would be good...

Hell yes

I'd want to paint some walls but otherwise, I love that.

How about a new build?

An environmentally sensitive country house with glorious views over its own land and located in Hambledon, one of the most coveted villages in Surrey. £5,950,000

I quite like that - But I'd need accomodation for the live in window cleaner.

Same here (both love it and paint the walls, bare concrete doesn't do it for me and I suspect will be out of fashion, along with OSB cladding in the not-too-distant).

It's a yes from me but like Jimi I'd want to soften the interior.

Is that a "Grand Design" house?

Given that its a new build what happened on the landing ( pic 13 ) - what a mess...

[Doofus]

It does look like an afterthought, doesn't it..

That's quite near to being my ideal country home, apart from the cluttered, overly stark and mismatched interior. I'd go simpler, with strategically placed, comfortable antiques (like a battered chesterfield sofa, and some worn, brown leather mid century armchairs) on a polished concrete floor adorned by some ethnic rugs. Some walls and the kitchen in subtle greens and muted earth tones, to mirror the countryside. Wood burning stoves strategically placed for book/view action, especially in inclement weather.

But lots of land, lots of glass and open spaces (in and out of the house?). Yes, please.

I have too many friends and colleagues with crumbling G2 listed piles that are hassle to really, truly want one. This sort of thing is way better, to me.

Great that we all have different tastes.
I'm not sure I can find anything whatsoever that I like about that.

Hey ho.

Another vote here; superb place.
