Wow. That's pretty incredible. I can imagine living there more with the Australian climate.

The woodland around it is just beautiful. They have our bunkbeds
The wine “cellar” pic is cracking me up.

It would be far from my first choice, don't get me wrong. I just think it would be easier to live in in Oz than grey old England

I love bits of it and hate bits of it.

I don't like it either, Cerise! It's just not a home. I like the tennis court, pool and woodland, though
![grin :))](./images/smilies/xiggrin.gif)
And the big windows/views.

Yes

Wine is ideally stored in full sunlight where temperatures will vary wildly

There are bits of it that I really love - the mosaic bathroom, the polished concrete floor, the views from the bedrooms. I’m not sure I would buy it if I were realistically buying something in that price range though.

What's the big shiny green thing in the middle of it? I hate that. I could happpily live in it though, although I really dislike how it looks from the outside. The purple couch would have to go as well.

I don’t understand the shiny green thing either. Also hate the purple outdoor sofa but love the idea of an outdoor room like that. I noticed Wendy and Marty’s house had one in Ozark and I really coveted it. Outdoor fireplace

I think it's the wall to a bathroom (?). Horrible.

I thought it was the wall to the dressing room. The doors of that look green.

I think it's beautiful, but I'm not sure it's very comfortable or cosy. Also, I have seen too many horror films to be able to live in a house with such enormous windows.

Its the kind of place to stay/visit but not live in. Does that make any sense?!

You'll all enjoy this, it's AMAZING.
Lytham
Incidentally, someone tweeted it, I wasn't looking at half million homes in Lytham.
This is my current nice house plus rewilding project choice.

That is..quite something. SO many thoughts. First of which, the armchair/TV/oven set up is... unusual. The giraffe looking out to sea made me laugh. The 'garden' is so depressing.
Is there no view? I was expecting some photos of a lovely sea view or something. Is L St A quite expensive? ÂŁ600k seems quite a lot for a house that needs a huge amount of work.

Lytham was always where you retired to, if you were a bit "posh". I imagine whoever lived there was elderly and spent their time watching TV next to the range, judging by the kitchen set up. :sad:
There's bits of that house I genuinely love, the space, the original bones of it, the glazed walls and the relief in the sitting room. I sort of like the carpets too
![look :look:](./images/smilies/xookaround.gif)
. The outside is horrible though. It looks like a conservatory that's lost its home.
