15 photos but none of the bedrooms, looking at the floor plan, there may be a reason. I'll make no comment about the general untidiness.

Pic 7, was it really necessary to leave the dustpan and brush on the kitchen floor. Also using the "lawn" as a car park, Pic 11.
Right - so it's 2 bedrooms then - looking at that floorplan.
My head hurts wondering how one could re-organise the 1st floor in order to have a 3rd bedroom.0 -

The socks and jeans draped over the radiator in the bathroom (Pic 9) adds a certain je ne sais quoi:cool:0 -
If you look at the floorplan, the kitchen is very long and narrow, at the back of the building. Considering how much space the place has, I'm sure they could have put the kitchen somewhere better and made it a decent size.Wow, that's some place! I think they have done a good job of the conversion too. Wonder why no view of the kitchen though. Surely it has to be something worth seeing.0 -
With the price of skips, any hole in the ground would be a plus, but that place is so pig-ugly, I wouldn't know how to save it from itself.
Shame, because it was obviously quite an attractive house.............................................once - before someone added all those !!!!!! extensions, lol :rotfl:
Edited to add - I think it would probably be a plus for me - just not in that house. Certainly wouldn't want an outdoor one, although we loved our hot tub for the nine years we had it (enough to move it 200 miles twice.....and no, it wasn't a lazy spa!). Unfortunately the house is sooooo very horrid, I don't think I'd be tempted in this instance.Mortgage-free for fourteen years!

Got to carry the shopping as far here and pay much more for the privilege (no real incline though). Plus spot the (staged?) dogs.
I can't quite figure out how much of the property is for sale, as 6,500 square foot sounds enormous, but floorplan doesn't quite give it away.
Also, it's leasehold, so may be a flat?0 -

The developers have been converting and selling off parts of the House, Stables, Outbuildings, lodges etc for the past 15 years or more. As far as I know all are leasehold and have a hefty service charge to pay also. The property I linked looks to be the central section of the main house so in effect a terraced house. - edit - actually I think the top of that central tower is an apartment, so are they currently selling a grand maisonette?!0 -

If I'm looking at the right picture, they need to make a corridor of one side of the bedroom closest to the shower room. Makes four bedrooms that way.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

The safe on the ground floor is big enough to be shown on the floorplan, but it's marked "no access". Would you want your property to contain a safe that's almost big enough to be a room, if you couldn't open it to make sure it was empty?0 -
