    £7.5 million and no I wouldn’t. There is a limit to how many bathrooms I’m prepared to clean.

    £35 million and no, I would not buy it but I do love the location.   Out of the next 124  properties that takes you down to  £5m, there are much better houses that I would love to buy.  
     Most of those properties are flats though.
    Corduroy pillows are making headlines! Back home in London now after 27years wait! Duvet know it's Christmas, not original, it's a cover.

    Whole street full of fabulous houses where they sell for £1 million.  Yes I would buy one but they rarely come on the market and are snapped up very quickly when they do

    3.5 million for a grade II listed stately home. 4.5 acres with outbuildings, parking for 10 cars and a cottage. 
    No, I might get lost going to the bathroom.

    £2.2 million with 11 acres and no, too much glass (aka "contemporary").  Next one down is £1.6 million with 6 acres and yes I might go for that one, it's a bit more traditional in design.  It's an interesting question as I want to move out of the area but a lot of that is to do with being able to afford more land.

    £4.8 million. And, no, I wouldn't buy if I had the money. I like the swimming pool, but wouldn't want the hassle of maintaining it. Originally I thought this was a 3D render of plans, but it seems that this is actually a real photo.

    technically the answer may well be Price on Application
    The next available open price is £17 million in Golf Club Road, and no it is not an estate I want to live on

    £2.2m.  Yes and no - beautiful house, but too big to be 'home'.  And would need a team of gardeners for the grounds.

    £3.25m and its stunning, 9 acres, 7 Bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 2 bed coach house, orangery, tree lined drives. Indoor pool, sauna hot tub. Gorgeous landscaped gardens. The only downside is the modern but meh grey kitchen. 

    So, yes I'd buy it! 

    I'd love to know the running costs of a house like that!
