Breach House
Designed by renowned British architect Mr Edward P Warren for himself in 1905 Breach House is huge! It’s got 10 bedrooms. The house is on Halfpenny Lane, Nr Moulsford, Wallingford although you’ll need more than a halfpenny to buy it as it’s on for £4,500,000
With solar or without
This house is for sale and has solar panels. An interesting line in the details though:
The present owners have installed solar panelling which would be available to a purchaser under a separate negotiation.
Whilst I like the idea of buying a house with solar, it seems a bit strange that they’d consider not including them in the price to start with.

An interesting map that gives you details on road deaths. Whilst perhaps not directly related to buying a house, you might want to check out the area and spot any accident blackspots near where you live, or want to live.
