That really is gorgeous, I would be so happy in that garden. ♥️

It also seems quite reasonably priced too, unlike this one. I wonder if they will throw in the artwork?

Click on this if you'd like to see the tallest dining room chair in history. Also, what is that chair about on the mezzanine?

It’s such a pretty house! Bad taste in chairs though. WTF? Where would you even buy chairs like that?!

That dining chair! :mog: And, yeah, the one on the mezzanine is a bit peculiar as well.

What a gorgeous house otherwise.

Yes, someone takes their role as head of the family very seriously!

Here’s a genuine contender for a truly unique property. You need to keep scrolling through the pictures to see why…

Oh wow! That's either amazing or creepy as fuck, I'm not sure.

Also, all that money spent on access to stalactites yet two fugly ancient-looking sofas that even British Heart Foundation would reject.

Photo 4. Why would you create a little raised platform with a drawer to stand your fridge on?

Pipes. I've done similar (well not a faux drawer, but a boxed in bit for the fridge to stand on, as I couldn't push it right back due to a gas pipe)

I was also going to say gas pipe :)).

We’ve got our cellar freezer on a raised platform due to flood risk which you would hope isn’t the issue there!

Ah, that makes sense. I was wondering why they felt their chilled goods needed a stage. ;)
