Deer facts anyone?
There are over 2 million wild deer in the UK. 
They have no natural predators, if they were left alone to eat tree saplings and reproduce there would be no trees left in large parts of the UK within 30 years.
300,000 are culled every year. Veal is very healthy and yummy. 
75000 are hit by cars every year  

The high population of wild deer is due to a deer tax that led to landowners releasing their herds because they couldn't afford the taxes 
Muntjac are invasive are all decended from a pair that escaped from Woburn Safari park
Chinese water deer and sika were introduced in Victorian times for no particular reason 
Fallow deer were introduced by the Romans.

Doe a deer, a female deer

Oh deer . I hadn’t realised that many deer were hit by cars.  We used to live in this part of the world, it’s beautiful.  I don’t think much of the house for that price, but there is a lot of land.  Mind you, I always thought Stags EA toploaded their prices.

As well as the umpteen antlers around the house even the cushions have them

Someone somewhere will love this one - lighthouse not included!

But, if someone buys it and goes and live on it, it won't be an uninhabited island any more. 

Nit-picking I know. Better than midge-picking. 

When I saw how much it is, I had a vague temptation to buy it. Then I thought I could make an offer of £50k. But, then what do I do if they say yes 

Seven bedrooms and one bathroom. That could be a bit of a queue. 

I had a vision of going to sleep there the first night, and waking up to find Old Gregg standing over me. 

Moving costs could be a bit stratospheric

What do you make of this:

The bedrooms are of a generous size. 

I have a pair of Versace trousers that would fit right in to the decor. And, I'm not joking

It is really, really, distinctive. I wish the sellers good luck for finding a buyer who won't rip it all out  

It’s being auctioned so I’m sure someone will buy it.

Spot the cat,  this one is easy.

It looks to me as if the cat has spotted us. 

When you said it would be easy to spot the cat, this is what popped into my mind: 

Ha ha,  that looks like it's from the Goodies.

Indeed.

Kitten Kong.   . This was first shown when I had been in my University hall of residence for a couple of months.  We all piled into the tv room (well it was 1971] to watch the Goodies.  KK had us all in fits of hysterical laughter.  Watching it again just now I thought “they don’t make tv like that any more”

Fab.  Too much character for sensible living, but a fantastic place.  Wouldn't want to own it, but glad it exists.  

With 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms it would make a lovely country house hotel

Spot the angels. 

Bit creepy, I’d have nightmares.  Reminds me of the weeping angels in Dr Who

How about spot the parrot and spot the penguins instead

If anyone wants to buy it I can recommend some nice cafes not far away where the food is brilliant

You're right: most impressive accumulation of hangers.

Not to mention the blood red ceiling

Why buy a Cotswolds-stone barn conversion when you can buy an aluminium industrial-unit conversion for a lot more money instead?

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/146236958#/?channel=RES_NEW

It looks awful to me. There are a few other conversions on the same site that are a little nicer but not great. 

Wouldn't you want to pay a little more for this instead?

Can't believe that got planning permission for change of use to a home. It’s a warehouse with a couple of walls.

I couldn’t believe the price until I saw where it was. Gloucestershire, where the rich folk and royalty live.
