There is a chronic shortage of windows in the UK, it's the only explanation.

They are garages.

Real sea views and not too silly a price.

Interesting.  I, for one, would be delighted to spend three quarters of a million pounds on permission to spend even more money building an 'exceptional' house that looks Bag End entering into unholy congress with a nuclear power station cooling tower.  

Points to note: 'bridal paths' on the doorstep - having to get married each time one drags the wheelie bin to the gate sounds tiring.  One would exhaust Cheltenham's supply of single men in fairly short order.  

'walking countryside' - stationary countryside is generally preferable if one likes one's house to stay put.  It would be irritating to find, for instance, that one's piece of land had decided to walk to Portsmouth or somewhere whilst one was at work.  

Provision for a 'private sewage' - a 'high calibre' home ought to come with sewage of rank of at least lieutenant colonel.  

'3wood chip boiler' - what?  Is one supposed to raid the local golfers' bags for that type of club specifically, and then burn what has been collected for heating?  Or is it really a commercial chip fryer?  If the latter, one hopes permission has been granted for the building of a litter strewn layby off the drive, the siting of a burger van with a flat tyre to house the fryer and the employment of a man in a greasy singlet to operate the thing...

I much prefer the watercolour renderings of the plans over the few decades ago budget TV show 3D rendering.

No interior photos. I wonder why.

I could imagine retiring to a place like that. Though, I personally characterise that as a terraced property even if it's officially something else such as link detached. However, it's interesting to see that something like that is affordable 'down south'. I like the interior, and if through some strange twist of fate I bought it I would keep it as it is. Unless there are some items that were obtained through dodgy historical contexts and should be returned to their original countries.

I looked through the text to see if there were signs of expectations being managed. The word 'modernisation' turns up a few times, but often in the context of extending the property STPP, including possibly building a new dwelling. Certainly, something is being kept hidden from viewers of the listing.

I would say theres 2 possible reasons that come to mind:

1) its a hoarder house (they rarely have internal photos)

or

2) its tenanted and they excersized their right to quiet enjoyment (makes most sense but you would think it would be mentioned)
