@Abbafan1972 Well for sure I'm not saying WestByfleet 3 times, lest this taste bypass appears in my own pad.

Not sure what this means?

The owner claims he is "optimising the nation's wellbeing" through "customer centric, insight led content... Bla bla bla 

Not with that interior design...

My guess is affair, divorce, house sale.

(Joking of course.)

I've seen this one before, and now it's been reduced.  What I keep wondering is, how can they be so sure there is no scope for vehicular access?

I deduce from the exasperated caps lock that they have had plenty of people sniffing around thinking they can create access.

I rather like that - lovely quiet, private plot - the house needs a bit more personality inside.  I wonder if the front brick wall is covered by something like a conservation area, eliminating front access.  The side would be the more obvious and discreet way to do it, from that lane adjacent - but maybe whoever owns it and the farm at the end of that lane has simply said "not on your nelly"

Spot the dog.

Times must be hard. That was reduced from £7million to £5.2m
they've been trying to flog it since October 2022.

Depreciating faster than an Omaze prize.

The Priory at Dorrington is grade II listed and I suspect that wall is included.

I was vaguely looking too and I think the farm I referenced is Dorrington Grange which is also listed.  There were several properties in that immediate area that were.  If you look at Street View and look opposite - you can see the nature of the buildings in the village - hence I thought Conservation Area.

My local council promised to resurface the tarmac pavement outside my house after a flood in 2013 ripped chunks of it up. I'm still waiting.  I bet they weren't waiting that long.

I'm obsessed with the details of the bathroom in picture 24 (the wood ceiling! the feature tile! the blind! the curtains!)

I don't think I've seen pale blue sanitary ware before.  That's the kind of house you'd feel obligated to take your shoes off at the door - and if you didn't, you'd probably be asked.  It's very nice.  The house next to my parents' place was a smaller version of that - the wife just cleaned inside full time and he did the same outside.
