Re: Strange & Unusual Houses
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?

Re: Strange & Unusual Houses
It’s such a pretty house! Bad taste in chairs though. WTF? Where would you even buy chairs like that?!

That dining chair!
And, yeah, the one on the mezzanine is a bit peculiar as well.
What a gorgeous house otherwise.

I think someone in that house considers themselves quite important.

Re: Strange & Unusual Houses
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.

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. ;)
