Have you got the thick end of four and a quarter million nicker burning a hole in the pocket of your Armani jeans? Well look no further than this place! A three-ring circus of one's very own, complete with elephant statue, inland beach bar, football pitch and semi-detached Ferrari. The agent's description froths like Veuve Clicquot that's been through a paint mixer and finally disappears up its own fundament with something about an alpaca farm.
Who would want this place? It's baffling.
Actually, that has Premier League Footballer stamped on it with indelible ink I imagine. Or Bojo and his current bird possibly, if they could find a mate willing to stomp up a big enough loan.3 -

I know someone who would go mad for that. She married money but she's still common as muck.
Also - is that elephant a fountain..? Pic 35.I oppose genocide. I support freedom of speech. I support freedom of assembly.2 -

Many of us would enjoy the spectacle of somebody trying to take that house out of Essex! What would be used to move it? Low loaders, conveyor belts or Bruce Dickinson's enormous airship?2 -
