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

That pantry 💕

I could live there.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.

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 :)) And the big windows/views.

Yes :lol: Wine is ideally stored in full sunlight where temperatures will vary wildly :yes:

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 :love:

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. :bob:

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? £600k 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:. The outside is horrible though. It looks like a conservatory that's lost its home.
