I don’t really care about what the inside looks like, how cool is this?
A large Grade II Listed Gothic Style Villa built in the second half of the 19th century, sitting in extensive garden grounds of some 2.6 Acres with a detached 3 storey west wing offering some 26 bedrooms. Exceptional position, unsurpassed views and exciting possibilities!

Can you imagine a bee training school (For the beekeepers rather than the bees!)

Amazing hall https://www.housecritic.co.uk/2022/06/18/amazing-hall/ Sat, 18 Jun 2022 16:00:36 +0000 https://www.housecritic.co.uk/?p=5147 Continue reading ]]> Fabulous house on rightmove https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/123891422#/media?channel=RES_BUY&id=media4&ref=photoCollage
Am always impressed by a hall that’s actually the size of a room,or even the ground floor or a small house. This one is massive. A bit dark but a lot of wood that you probably wouldn’t want to paint.

Picture 1 will make your heart sing! Who wouldn’t want to live near the sea?

Windmills https://www.housecritic.co.uk/2022/02/27/windmills/ Sun, 27 Feb 2022 16:13:51 +0000 https://www.housecritic.co.uk/?p=5136 I do like the collections Rightmove put together – here’s their Windmills one. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/news/articles/property-news/windmill-homes-for-sale/

 

Problems with windmills (I’ve seen lots as holiday homes) – where do you put your bookshelves?

Beautiful farm house https://www.housecritic.co.uk/2021/07/29/beautiful-farm-house/ Thu, 29 Jul 2021 15:20:59 +0000 https://www.housecritic.co.uk/?p=5034 Continue reading ]]> Beautiful farm house with Matterport viewer!

It has a mill wheel! It’s beautiful. Lovely views too.

What I like about this place – it’s got a lovely workshop space for someone to be making all sorts of nice woodworking things in. A lovely big lounge! About 15 acres which sounds about right.

I love the boot room – with facilities – a tiled floor is very useful when you come in with muddy wellies. This would be great! It’s not a huge house upstairs – but so much space outside!

Matterport has a play button!

22000 books https://www.housecritic.co.uk/2021/07/23/22000-books/ Fri, 23 Jul 2021 18:29:41 +0000 https://www.housecritic.co.uk/?p=5026 Continue reading ]]> This amazing house has a library with 22000 books or so!

Amazing house. The Chanters House is one of the most exquisite and historically significant houses for sale in the country. A sensational example of period architecture dating from the 14th Century to the modern day, this home has undergone extensive and painstaking renovations over the past 10 years by the current owners to make it a magnificent country home once again.

“dazzling indoor swimming pool” says the blurb and it is beautiful. I would very much like a swimming pool.

Another one! https://www.housecritic.co.uk/2021/07/22/another-one/ Thu, 22 Jul 2021 15:39:55 +0000 https://www.housecritic.co.uk/?p=5020 Continue reading ]]> Have I spent too much time on rightmove this week? No. There’s no such thing as too much time on rightmove.

This house has a matterport viewing!
The house viewing starts with a beautiful piece of hall furniture. The lovely lounge has a corner with a computer desk and plenty of storage! Love it! That’d do us! Smashing kitchen leading to the conservatory.

The king came to tea in 1912! https://www.housecritic.co.uk/2021/07/22/the-king-came-to-tea-in-1912/ Thu, 22 Jul 2021 10:42:36 +0000 https://www.housecritic.co.uk/?p=5022 Continue reading ]]> I love it when estate agents include lovely snippets about properites. They’ve included quite a bit about this visit and it’s charming!

This beautiful house is absolutely magnificent and I can’t blame the king for wanting to go and see it! It’s in Holmfirth.

Pictures are lovely. The house is absolutely lovely and it has a swimming pool too. I know the house photos would have been better but I spotted this and thought it was worth including this to follow the horse theme from other recently posted houses. It’s within walking distance of the station too. Always a plus if you have to commute.

A fascinating snippet: The cellar also has an unusual feature of two large access doors which from steps in the courtyard give direct access down to the cellars providing great entertainment/party space at a different level if required.

Stunning equestrian property https://www.housecritic.co.uk/2021/07/21/stunning-equestrian-property/ Wed, 21 Jul 2021 11:52:34 +0000 https://www.housecritic.co.uk/?p=5017 Continue reading ]]> Another one with Matterport for you. Can you tell I really like these?
It has roses round the door
* 5 pitch caravan sites (For those guests who you want to come to stay but not in the house!)
* 25 acres of pasture

Stone steps https://www.housecritic.co.uk/2021/07/20/stone-steps/ Tue, 20 Jul 2021 11:01:03 +0000 https://www.housecritic.co.uk/?p=5011 Continue reading ]]> Another matterport house for you.
Do you like the dolls house style of display to look at? Viewing a house like this I think really helps you understand the layout in a way just photos can’t. You get to see steps, windows, radiators and all the things you need to think about when you’re placing furniture in a room. You get to see features like these lovely stone steps in this house.

I love the lounge area, it has several rooms off it (including a study and conservatory) which I think would really suit my family. We love to spend the evenings together, but we also have hobbies that require a bit more room, so it’d be nice to be able to be fairly close together, and have some space for our hobbies.
I do like a utility room! This one is nice and bright too.
There’s another study upstairs too, which I really like. Beams upstairs give character to the house whilst it remains very light.
They have a map of the land too! The garden looks great. I think I would enjoy living in this house very much! It would allow me plenty of room for my bees! To the front of the house there is parking for several cars, a lawned garden with mature trees, and the traditional cider press.
