Completely different houses that remind me of each other

This post might be one of my more strange ones.
Alkrington house
I saw this house that’s in Devon for sale – it’s a really lovely 8 bedroom Superb Grade II* Georgian country house
and it instantly reminded me of this one near where I live at the moment.
This six bedroom house in Alkrington, Middleton
Staverton house
They’re not identical but have are both great looking houses! They’re both Grade II* listed properties which means they’re both important houses.
Perhaps they both appeal to me as this is the size home I really want!

The description made me smile too:
Oodles of character
Will suit active family that love animals

I’d have writte “will suit active family that enjoy bonfires …”
I’m not sure what the estate agent was thinking to have that as the first picture.

The house has a website here and it is rather lovely, has a tennis court and a pool! I’d be very happy there!
