window shopping

Halfway down the hill is a house that comes with wisteria pre-installed. It's an interesting shape and has some interesting deign work going on and has a lovely front(ish) garden; I've been admiring it regularly every time I go by for years.

... and it's currently for sale.

From the start of the brochure:

Barnfields are proud to offer for sale this formidable semi-detached property built in 1927 by local builder Mr Hills. Hills Folly boasts a wealth of period features along with a modern twist offering five bedrooms, two reception rooms, a magnificent kitchen/breakfast room and conservatory.

It's hilariously out of budget and not suitable in any number of ways and we're not looking to move house...

... but we might just book a viewing anyway. I mean! Look at it.

I've looked at the floorplans and the pictures and I count four bedrooms not five. And some weird unparsable space full of wardrobes. Offer them 80% of the price for 80% of the advertised bedrooms?

Offers in excess of *gibber*!

My sister was just trying to interest me in a 4 bed for literally under a fifth of the asking price of that one.

I want to know more about the blue color in the living/sitting room

That kitchen is amazing. And the floorboards are gorgeous. I hope it finds its people.

I'm bemused by the "wealth of period features" when as far as I can see they've ripped most of those out to modernise. Where are the period fireplaces and coving/architraves etc? *G*

But yes - absolutely go for the viewing - sounds like fun!

Oh wow.

Gorgeous.

“The property must be viewed to be fully appreciated.”

Well then!

It's lovely! Though listing that narrow room on the first floor as a bedroom seems foolish indeed.

[numinousdread]

Wow, that's a lovely house. You should go look at it.
