House Critic

Beautiful house.
Has a matterport view for the Oculus! Has outdoor spots too – look on the flat floor plan for those!

This one for instance, says it has permission as a wedding venue (Lovely photos of the dining room btw) and then it describes the house as having 7 reception rooms.

Stunning property with lots of history: The present house and barn were built by Sir James Hobart in 1478.
Situated in the grounds to the south of the main house is the Great Barn, at 184ft the largest brick built Tudor barn in England

The first picture gives you the clue this house has stabling! The coach house is absolutely stunning and would make a lovely place to live even if the main house wasn’t there. The fireplaces in the main house are amazing. Tennis court and swimming pool. Really stunning views.

Oh for a lottery win to be able to buy this amazing house. It’s got cottages for the family to come and stay in without being under your feet at all, it’s got a lovely garden with a greenhouse and garages and workshop space too. Everything a girl could ever dream of.

This house featured in the BBC Doctor Who 2014 Christmas Day special

It has
36ft drawing room, 26ft breakfast room, 25ft living room, study, 19ft kitchen, housekeeper’s room, utility room, gamekeeper’s pantry, stores and basement rooms, 23ft billiard’s room, 7 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, versatile 5 attic room and stores with possibilities

This made me giggle. Part listed gardens doesn’t mean on a slope!
Glen Usk is stunning

The house is very elegant, it’s entrance has three-bay stone Tuscan Colonnade and inside the entrance hall is lovely, with scaglioli columns and a piano.
In 1990 the Grecian Temple was built, similarly Grade II Listed, which is panelled with bookshelves and features a later added minstrels gallery for entertaining. This has been in several films apparently! Anyone spotted it?

This is an interesting property! Quite old too! It’s at Goodrich (Where there’s a castle that I went to on a school trip in the early 1980s!)
It was built in 1636! The original fortified front door is sheltered by a porch supported by Doric columns, one date 1636. The hall has an open fireplace, panelled walls and main staircase as well as the staircase to the lower ground floor.

I would love this property.
It’s in Monmouthshire!
The staircase if absolutely stunning (pic 9) and I think it’s one of the loveliest I’ve seen for a long time. The brochure (second link in the description) has another photo of the beautiful stair well.
Picture 11 is of the kitchen, which looks absolutely lovely. The library is beautiful and reinforces the desire for a library room of my own! Picture 13 is such a nice photo – a lovely toom with a fire roaring in an arched fireplace. Amazing lightshade too.
It’s got an extensive range of traditional stone and modern farm buildings and in all about 275.53 acres. Plenty of room for whatever animals you wanted to keep.
The brochure also includes a boundary plan – just what you actually want to know! Just how far does the land stretch.
Absolutely stunning property, really love it.

Can anyone lend me the £4.5M I’d need?

The number one things I think is essential is a plan of the land. Why tempt me telling me it’s 2.5 acres, or 280 acres if you’re not going to show me a plan. I don’t mind the land registry plan or the aerial views with a red line. Anything to tell me which bits are included.
Nothing worse than viewing a stunning house and then realising that half the buildings in the first photo are not included.

Virtual Reality viewings – which ever system you want to offer, just offer one. They’re amazing. I can tell by viewing a matterport (for example) whether the layout works for me!

What else? Photos at night aren’t needed really but sometimes are so pretty you know why the estate agent includes them.
