What would be your dream home?

[SteCenturion]

I thought I had built it 7 years ago, seems I fancy another go at getting it right, so looking for a plot now.

I once had a plot, now long lost, if you find it could you return it to me at the Assylum pls ?

This would do for me. Hilly road riding, invest in a MTB, nice walking to have a dog again,not far from the coast, buy some chickens for quality eggs and just too far away from Plymouth for my MiL to feel safe about driving

£1.2 million & cushions from quality save.

I like everything apart from new build "exec" boxes. It'd be down to location for me, if I was a bit older hand and got rid of at least 2 children, I'd have snapped this up..........and de-cluttered it. River Aire to the left, canal to the right, Saltaire (with station) & Roberts Park on the doorstep, living small at it's best.

Few steps to here.

Damn @pplpilot that house is drop dead gorgeous!
I'd have this though: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-30091779.html and do a hell of a lot of redecorating!

What is it with people who "label" their rooms? "Family", "Food" "Love" etc

1/4 house, 3/4 garage/workshop....

I've never seen it before, but it does dovetail nicely with the prevailing aesthetic, which appears to be 'breathtaking vulgarity'.

When people get houses that are bigger than they need they run out of names for rooms they don't use... it is ridiculous.

For me it'd have to be one of these
Top of the list;
'The White House'
Curley Hill
Middleton, Ilkely
An utterly gorgeous British Moderne build, this was for sale back in 1999 @ £795,000!!!! (& again in 2010 @ £1,395,000)
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-25749621.html
I'll be running past it on Monday, during an Ilkley Harriers race, & will be looking at it longingly. Again

Markenfield Hall
twixt Harrogate & Ripon, on the A61, & along the wonderfully named Hell Lane (we have one of those a couple of miles from us too!!
http://www.markenfield.com/
This is one house! - dating back to the Domesday Book!!, it's not a 'hamlet', not sure though If the working farm is owned by the house-owners, or tenanted???




This 1950's epic to the south-east of Huddersfield (lots of pics)
Heck!!, it even has a heated driveway - or did!!!!!!!!!!!

That could be a bit of a scrabble to get into the bed.

Not sure whether I'd necessarily call it my dream house, but definitely hard to beat for the money: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ow-I-built-hobbit-house-Wales-just-3-000.html

Love that house and the concept.

I own 90 acres in a secluded part of the wine country in South Australia - lots of big Murray River Red gums and a creek and I have been trying to think up a way to build on it economically. That particular house wouldn't work on my land, but the concept sure is food for thought...
