Possible one of the most whimsical buildings I’ve seen for a sale – Woodlands Vale is a Grade II* listed country home on the Isle of Wight between Seaview and Ryde.
It’s on at £3 million with 6 bedrooms and amazing views and the most magical outside!
It has a lift although it needs renovating at the moment. The original conservatory with double height ceiling and cupola was converted into a billiard room in 1894. It has a narrow path which leads towards the sea and ends about 100m away … I think it comes out about here

£2,500,000 will buy you this amazing building on Stainland Road, Barkisland, Halifax, West Yorkshire, HX4

It struck me the other day that there are quite a few very expensive houses for sale that don’t have a garage! I’d imagine if you’re buying an expensive house that you have an expensive car – so you’d want to put it in a garage at night!
There’s also a suprising number of houses that have a garage – across the price range – but don’t show you the garage at all!
Here’s one house in Northgate Lane, Linton, Wetherby which is in West Yorkshire that has a garage and even shows it you! This one also has a nice gym and pool!

When you’re selling a house you should include a photo of the garage if it’s neat and tidy. Some garages are stuffed full of junk but part of the moving process should be to declutter and put items into storage. If you have a full garage stuffed with boxes and piles of junk then it’ll look like you have no storage space in the house at all.

Whilst a huge number of people don’t use their garage for their car even if they have one – you do get cheaper car insurance if you do. (It’s one of the questions they ask about where do you keep your car at night). So ensure viewers can see how much room there is in the garage – let them imagine it full of their own cars or junk and not yours!

This posh pad in Alderley Edge is pretty spectacular if you like neon

There are several other rooms with neon lighting in. I don’t like it. It’s all too shiny and modern for me. For £3,995,000 I’d want a huge swimming pool, gym and loads of land. All of which I can get for that much easily in Devon! However Alderley Edge is an expensive area partly due to all the footballers living there. They’re welcome to it!

The Kingston Estate looks amazing. It’s not just a house it’s a whole business which is the only thing that puts me off. I’m afraid I’d want to swan around the place on my own not have to run it as a business.
It’s an 8 bedroom house for sale
With a Guide Price of £2,750,000
The Kingston Estate is in Staverton, Totnes, Devon

Whilst mooching around I found their official website which mentions it’s been on the Hotel Inspector! So I’m going to watch it now and see if it’s as lovely as the photos look

It’s a show I watch sometimes but I don’t remember this one.

How many bedrooms is enough? 13 would be plenty for most families I think. If you’ve got £1.35M then this wonderful house could be yours. It’s not got a huge amount of land with it, only two acres, but it’s a massive house!
