The toilet beside the door freaks me out. I couldn't poo there.

I don't see what's wrong with the Stanhope house.

I thought that. I presume the last photo some sort of editing error because you can't see if from the back and I'm sure it would be visible, even from the angle the photo is taken at.

No it's real, look at the streetview link further down the page, there are loads of them in that bizarre "vast brick wall" style

Anyone fancy a converted Coastguard station? Not much of a beach at Helmsdale would be my only quibble.

Oh yeah! That's so weird. Why would anyone think that's a good design feature?! I wonder if any of it isn't usable loft space.

My sister in law and her husband used to live in a wing of a jacobean mansion that had been sliced up into apartments similar to that.

Absolute nightmare.

Not only the ludicrous service charges to maintain a building like that (I see £10,800 a year on that listing).
And the tiny slice of garden that you get.
And the rules and regulations about how you must decorate or what floor coverings you can use.

But mostly the other residents in the other apartments. Given the high price tag to entry they'll all be of a certain nature. Well off but not well off enough to own the whole house themselves, or to disappear to Monaco for half the year etc. Everything you do will be totally scrutinised and opined on. Especially if the house is quite remote so everyone's going to the same village pub, school etc. Any changes you want to make, if you get a delivery from Tesco and not Ocado, if your car is tit or parked badly one day, it will bite you.

No thanks. My rellies sold up and moved out of their wing within a few years. Even my brother in law's job at the time was scrutinised.

Surprisingly bland inside.

Probably been a holiday let I should think. So you don't furnish it with anything good in case it disappears or gets broken.

Yeah that's a good point re holiday let.

Wings of mansions always remind me of when Hyacinth Bucket went to buy one.

Is it just the 60s /70s architecture?

And that's an excuse for a clearly horrible looking build?
So it's got a ground floor and a first floor. But what about the rest of the building? You could get a while other floor in that. Well another bedroom at least.
That looks like it was a 'it's Friday, it's 5pm and the plans need to be signed off'
