By now, you know of my love of searching through the Guardian’s photo galleries. I’ve found some fun things, such as the family of elephant topiaries, the huge sculptures at Chatsworth House and these lovely and unusual memorials.
Today, I found another great house, which is as different from the blue house I posted about the other day, as chalk and cheese. 
The price is a bit steep at £4,750,000, but if we all pitch in, I think we can afford it.
In and my pretty little dog too. I love your new header-arresting. GT
ReplyDeleteI'm in. forwarding money to your account asap.
ReplyDeletehmmm. A bit different from the other, but I could be convinced. ;-) the first photo almost looks faux! The moulding totally has me.
ReplyDeleteYes, but I want the coach house.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do suppose that this will do. When do I take possession?
ReplyDeletei completely think we should go all in and get that together. to heck with retirement!
ReplyDeletethen we can all blog in style!
hey meg, i wrote about the eddie ross party (belatedly). there are some photos of you, so come by and check it out!! i can send you the colour originals if you like.
hope you are well and it was so nice to meet you. regret that i did not get to talk to you longer as i so admire you and your blog!
xo terri
That price actually seems a bit reasonable -for the whole house? 8 million dollars, right? amazing! If I win the lottery I'll buy it and invite you all to visit in my numerous guest rooms!
ReplyDeleteThis one suits me much more. But, the newel posts look a little dangerous.
ReplyDeleteAD... Not even $8 mil! Just $7.6!
ReplyDeleteOMG - a bargain! LOL
ReplyDeleteI mean - a lot of our projects cost that much to build and don't have the property, detail or history of this place (no, i'm not knocking our work!).
Yes, this one will do just fine.
ReplyDeleteI was going to "settle" for the coach house, but Mrs. Blandings beat me to it.
ReplyDeleteSoooo in! That place is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLike your new header too.
What an amazing blog - I absolutely love it - it reminds me in a way of mine!!! houses... I'm following yours now.
ReplyDeletelooks like there are takers- let us know the split
ReplyDeleteI call the maid's quarters! ( There must be one)
ReplyDeleteHow about the coffered ceilings in the stairwell?
LOVE the new header.
As long as we can have one formal hut weekend a year, I'm in.
ReplyDeleteIf the kitchen is anything like Mansfield Park, I'm in.
ReplyDeleteI'll cook breakfast so all of you terrific bloogers can get to work and entertain me all day.
I'm a new Pigtown fan and now I'm sold.
ReplyDeleteFor the group buy, should we divvy up weekends, or is this an all-in-at-once kind of deal? I've Tweeted it, @anglofilia, so we're sure to have lots of investors. (Unless there are 5 of us with £1 mill. each. I know my blog's not doing that well yet.)
In. That ceiling, OMG. But can we remove the ceiling lights in the other one? Please...
ReplyDeleteAu contraire, ma chere.
ReplyDeleteIt's ok, but not for me. (You'll all be desparately relieved to hear.) I would also have thought, although it's not an immediate consideration, that it's long after C18th, and more likely to be a Victorian, (or even Edwardian) re-creation, but "dates from" does give you a bit of leeway.
The real McCoy, for me, is anything Georgian. But grand. (ish).
Affirmative! Luckily, I ust received an urgent message from Western Union in my Spam folder informing me that I had $469,543.00 ready to be transferred into my account if I would only provide them some proper identifying information. So I'm in for 10%!
ReplyDeleteGreat news, Katie! So glad you checked your spam folder. I am hoping that a couple of Nigerian widows will help me with the purchase. You know how generous they are! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm in, if only to change that colour scheme in the stairwell, ouch.
ReplyDeleteNew house porn listing, Meg! Far less grand than this Cotswolds pile, but on the grounds of one of England's stateliest "stately homes" -- the Marlborough estate at Blenheim. Less than 2 million pounds for a little Victorian brick (stone?) farmhouse, off in the country yet practically on the site of Winston Churchill's miserable youth. I've blogged it on AngloFiles, with photos, of course: http://bit.ly/25buAf.
