For some people it’s important to have a really excellent mobile phone signal, others want to be as far away from the phone masts as possible.
This map allows you to search for phone masts. Near me it shows that there are plenty of t-mobile masts which makes it look like I’d be better off on t-mobile if signal is an issue.
Very useful site!

TREMATON CASTLE -Very beautiful historical buildings
This very unique and highly historic fort with Regency house is just amazing!
There’s a 13th Century Gatehouse.
There is also a Georgian coach house, stables and workshop, landscaped gardens, greenhouse and Indian influenced swimming pool.
Probably the most amazing house I’ve seen on rightmove – a Grade II Regency house set within Bailey of Norman Castle is certainly unique!
Massive house in Didsbury
South Manchester is more expensive than the North, and this massive house in Didsbury is on the market at £1.6M It’s on Darley Avenue and has uninterrupted views of the River Mersey and golf course beyond.
It has four floors and some massive rooms.
The family room is really enormous at 38’08 x 17’06 ! One of the photos of a bedroom I mistook for a lounge as it has a sofa and coffee table in it!
Vineyard and Orchard
This one caught my eye because of the mention of the vineyard and orchard!
How fab would that be to own your own vineyard!
This is a beautiful early 17th century house for sale. It has 5 bedrooms and is on at a Guide Price of £1,700,000
It’s in Northtown, North Wootton, Shepton Mallet, Somerset. It has just over 31 acres of land with it.
I love the sitting room with the harp and guitars!
The house is called Wootton Vineyard.
It’s a nice house with plenty of land and some great features and sounds idyllic – in the garden there is an original outdoor kitchen with woodburning stove, Courtyards, Kitchen garden and Orchard plus the Vineyard and a Stream. with Summer flowering meadows. It does sound like the place for a perfect life almost like something out of a storybook! The house is grade 2 listed.
From the brochure –
Located in the north east corner of the land there is a woodland accesed by a wooden bridge with a large wooden gazebo seating area with cedar tiled roof, chimney and fireplace. There is a zip wire, rope swings and 40ft pirate ship. Stepping stones to stream.
How heavenly does that sound!
I might be a grown up but I’d LOVE my own pirate ship!
I’m just wondering how Santa will fit this in my Christmas stocking this year!
How big do rooms have to be?
Someone asked a question recently about how small a toilet room can be. They said the door didn’t close when you were in and your elbows were touching either side of the walls.
There’s no room size minimum in building regs that I could find for bathroom size – am prepared to be corrected if you have some info though.
There used to be guidelines on minimum house size from the The Parker Morris Committee drew up an influential 1961 report on housing space standards in public housing in the United Kingdom titled Homes for Today and Tomorrow.
This wiki article also says that most new builds today fail to meet these standards!
This site has a nice graph to illustrate the floor space principals – but the most annoying cat ever!
The Mayor of London report on space standards is worth a look too
Maybe we should have a competition to find the smallest studio appartment in the UK?
Duck pond!
It’s not often a duck pond gets an honourable mention (Possibly because not a huge number of houses have them!) but this lovely house in Crediton Devon is a Grade 2 listed property with swimming pool, tennis court, 10 acres and a duckpond!
