Oh, if you want land .....I can let you have some just up the road ......this is without doubt the most expensive lane in the village. Think the fact it has direct accsss into Lyme Park hikes the price up. There is a house further up, nice location, but they have started renovating and then put it on the market unfinished.....its a shell inside, and that is £800,000!!

Oh well, think I will be staying in my little tiny cottage then ....still, think of the cleaning I will save, not to mention the huge heating bills .....no, don't want it now.

With all those en suites, a downstairs shower room and a downstairs toilet, why do they need two family bathrooms?

The garden is bigger than mine so I wouldn't mind that for my goats. Oh and I love that kitchen.

I think I'd prefer my Hobbit hole! Imagine moving into there complete with goats, sheep, chickens and all the accumulated, but useful junk of your smallholding

What would the neighbours say

Wow, a different bathroom for every day of the week plus one spare... It looks really boxy from the outside - with that budget why couldn't the architect have designed something more interesting?

I would rip that kitchen out

If I had that sort of money I would want something better than that

No gym, no pool, no decent sized hobby shed, conservatory too small, staircase unimpressive, too narrow, too steep. Attic rooms no use to anyone of decent height or need second stairs for the staff to live there. And those front gates are naff.

Useful venue for porn shoots though. (oh, did I say that out loud....)

Characterless not my cup of tea!

I much prefer my little house with its beams and fireplace, and nice stone built .......oh, and I have views over the Peak District, and Lyme Park,..

I wouldn't mind being able to afford it though. I could have more animals and pay someone to look after them since I can't.

It always make me laugh when they say "architect designed" - well who else would have done it - the milkman! Personally I fancy a house designed by a patissier but that would probably end up as some dodgy TV program

You say that.. But my Dad designed his own house and just had an architect check the drawings for structural confirmation. And when I engaged an architect to remodel and extend my surgery I spent loads of time redrawing his ideas to suit what I liked. And when it came to fitting the place out he kept trying to talk me out of my plans,.... but once he saw the end result he incorporated them into his next designs.

Now when they talk architect designed they mean it wasn't just taken from the book of boring standard house plans you can get.
