I like it but it would need that spent again on it & a years work+ with a big gang of builders to convert back again - could be stunning. I'd keep some of the carpeting but most would go & the middle annexe bit joining to the house would go. Id open up the bedrooms and join 2 together for really huge rooms. Bring it down to about 18 bedrooms.
I'd keep the further angled annexe converted for friends & guests.
Plenty of parking ! 😃😃
It's a bit close boundary-wise to the church & yard

It looks like loads of pubs round where I grew up. That part timber faux Tudor looks. How can it be art deco when it's been completely rebuilt? Apart from it not looking at all art deco!

Well I would have arranged a viewing but there doesn’t appear to be any parking! 🤷‍♀️

Although it's a big house it still manages to look really homely, as though people actually live in it. Am sure the family were very happy there.

There is no mention of the trapdoor on picture 17 or where it leads to 😲

Saw an article that his Son was complaining they couldn't sell it. Trouble is there's not many buyer at that end of the market and it does need money spending to update (Built in MDF faux wood wardrobes seems an insane choice for someone as rich as Terry!) The stamp duty alone would be £370,000!

The decor and wardrobes were probably put in in the late 1970s/ early 80s & used ever since.....
