Another Matterport for you at this lovely house

Picture 10 for all your fellow staircase enthusiasts! Plus picture 16 for the top of the stairs!
Picture 27-30 shows some of the history of the house. Amazing!
Beautiful garden – that topiary is lovely! Just imagine how much hard work goes into looking after that. Some lovely features in this house and garden. With great views too!

I think it’s fair to say this part of Wales is on my wish list of places I would buy a house in – with a lottery win.
This one is stunning.
Round Well
Despite growing up watching Neighbours on TV, I think this is the right amount of neighbours to have!
This house has a beautiful big kitchen with an Aga. There’s a games room with table tennis table – You can play Table tennis with the oculus! But it would be nice to have a house big enough for a table for the times you want a game in real life!
The house is beautifully decorated. I don’t think I’d change a thing.
Some lovely furniture too.

There’s a matterport again https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=YiqToib1r25

One of my first memories is of a holiday to a cottage in Wales. The cottage was owned by a friend of my dads. We were lucky enough to spend a week there. It was lovely. I was very yound and my main memories of it are the slate window sills and a lovely walk towards the sea.
This Matterport really makes me smile as you can see the beautiful windowledges. Imaging sitting there at dusk, it’d be beautiful.

Virtual viewings https://www.housecritic.co.uk/2021/07/08/virtual-viewings/ Thu, 08 Jul 2021 09:18:14 +0000 https://www.housecritic.co.uk/?p=4969 Continue reading ]]> I love these! Found another one last night
Gardens Cottage is beautiful

Third “photo” is their 3d tour. Lovely. You can view it on your normal computer or phone.

This is on Giraffe

Virtual viewing
This shows there’s dots on a floor plan (Which makes it easier to navigate maybe than the matterport if you want to just have a quick look.)

You can look up and down and all around. It’s like being there almost. Although looking out of the backdoor I notice this one doesn’t have an arrow to take you to an outside view like others I’ve seen. Still, it’s an amazing way to view a house without actually going and would confirm that I did want to view this house.

You can view outside though with the options on the navigation floor plan.
See bottom left. You can also see in this that you can look up.
This is so much better than the wide angle lens pictures estate agents often take of houses.

I’ve found the way out on the giraffe view – look for doors with arrows on doorways!

Houses and Occulus https://www.housecritic.co.uk/2021/07/05/houses-and-occulus/ Mon, 05 Jul 2021 16:03:04 +0000 https://www.housecritic.co.uk/?p=4961 Continue reading ]]> Husband bought an Oculus for playing games on. However it can be used for viewing houses. Not very many at the moment, only the really expensive ones that I love looking at.

You can view the dolls house view on your computer and navigate about, but with the Oculus it’s amazing, very immersive and you can have a proper nosey round.
I’m sure this technology will be used more, although maybe only on expensive houses as it takes time to set up the cameras at points around the house.

There are a couple of formats for this: Matterport is one.
