She is a fool if she thinks she can keep that house.
A house and grounds that size demand massive upkeep costs, I know we had a similar house when we lived in the UK.
We sold up in the end after 8 yrs there, if you want to make a bonfire of £50 notes every year then this is for you.
If it's not the moles in the lawn, it's the pest man and his bait boxes, the bloody pool maintenance, the miles of hedges needing trimmed every year, the fuel costs to heat the place cos it's grade 2 listed and the windows are single pane and falling apart and you need planning permission to replace them.
I could go on but you get the idea, we got sick and tired of it all and downsized to a 4 bed bungalow in Ireland, we are no less happy for our decision.
So grade 2 listed 16th century Tudor farmhouse on 3 acres, fun times but no thank you !!!
Edited to add, Mr S commuting two hours each way to London to work for megabank to pay for this, he hated it and made him miserable, life isn't all about status symbol houses and "toys" no one we cared about cared, if you get what I mean.

. It's realistic really, considering. I have a relative who lives in one and it's very nice. KP should get a bargain bucket one!
