    I think it's lovely, couldn't stand the neighbours being so close though. Just think of how fit you would be with all those stairs. Great if you are young and fit!

    I absolutely adore it...but then I like the weird and wonderful.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    It's a wonderful property, but must nigh on impossible value.

    I'd love it but my money would only ever stretch to a 3 storey oast house.

    I'll keep doing the lottery though.

  • As a building it's magnificent.I love it.
    As a home I would'nt want to live in it.
    I just think it's not homely enough for me but no doubt someone will make it into a lovely place to live.

    Great, but I prefer Jonathon Creeks windmill.

    A nice quirky holiday let, but not a practical lhome even for the single/able-bodied.

    It's like a living art piece: look at it all in awe and marvel at it... but not good as a home, too much wasted space and stairs.

    Love it, but wouldnt want it as a family home.

    Just imagine the slide down the banister everymorning, then walking out that front door with smoke still coming off the back of your trousers.
