I'm not entirely sure what the story is here. Low enough price for a pretty large property.
What is the point of the unconnected pieces of cornice in the sitting room?
Cons: Dislike the exterior, hate the interior monochrome decor and especially the horrible blue lights. But I knew immediately when I saw the shiny white floor tiles everywhere, this wasn't going to be good.
I have matt white floor tiles in my bathroom and I HATE THEM. When they are freshly washed and clean, they are nice. But they only stay clean for about 5 minutes and I could wash them 5 times a day, but they will show every speck of dust. I can't imagine having them throughout a house. White floor tiles is a mistake I will never repeat.
Pros: Nice big rooms, but a lack of light in some of them. Bathrooms are plentiful, and also generous sizes.
I can just imagine what an enthusiastic 8 year old could do with it.
Slough is very ethnically diverse with a large Pakistani & Indian population, so would be a common enough bathroom fixture in houses there.
Not sure I would want one that guests have access to. That could get messy
I've just noticed they have one for each loo, definitely cleaner and more environmentally friendly than toilet roll.
Ah there's a knack, very easy to use 🙂
I'd say they are more to clean the toilet after making a mess rather than spraying it at your ass as it would make one hell of a mess on the floor if you used it like you said.
A masterclass in creating a tacky monochrome scheme without any redeeming features, although I do like the bum gun in the bathroom.
Divorce or moving abroad seems most likely reason these mega homes come up in rural areas. Nobody is building these to sell. Moving abroad not uncommon in the exec world at the money levels required for these homes.
I dont think debt is a factor in most of these cases in a strong economy, even idiots are making money, different story when a wide recession hits.
Great, So you do what you should do. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen all over the country. You don't know anyone who does it, I know plenty.

..
Yeah seriously. I know people too and no one I know does this. And as someone who owns the equipment you're referring to, I can safely say that I've never emptied a septic tank and spread it on someone elses land. I have emptied some and spread it on the owners land though. I have emptied some and brought it for disposal, or emptied and stored while the tank was being repaired.
Funnily enough this kind of thing happens in nature all the time…..
Seriously? Perhaps the fact that I know people who have septic tanks and people that empty them. It's not a secret.
It is true that this still happens, but tanks have to be registered, and proper emptying is supposed to be done through registered firms. It is not true to imply that all the one off houses are disposing of sludge in an irresponsible way, in theory you should have a form confirming that it has been done properly, to what extent this is effective I don't know.
And the evidence is where for this?
You know what's madder? All those one off houses with septic tanks, farmers will empty them and then spread it on their fields😳😳
Published last week
The EPA has warned that 17 beaches around the country, but predominantly on the west coast, aren't suitable for bathing because heavy rain has placed them at “risk of deterioration in water quality".
Clifden is closed for the year at present.
….Maybe thats why this owner is selling up 😜
Dunno but theyre regularly full of some sort of sh1t
Discharges from wastewater overflows and misconnections are the main issue at these beaches.

Still happening across the country.
In Ireland, most urban areas are drained by combined sewer systems, which convey wastewater and stormwater in a single pipe.
The problem is when there is heavy rain, these systems hit capacity and the water and sewerage needs to be diverted to an alternate relief outlet or else our streets (and some buildings) would backflow with sewerage.
So when this happens, certain beaches are closed as all the nasties from sewerage, along with anything discharge out.
See this video for a great explainer - this is the very issue that Paris was facing in trying to clean up the Seine for the Olympics.
Whatever about the s**t, having a sea view on a glorious summer day is one thing, there are many, many days when it is not glorious. I lived very close to the sea, temporarily. From the windows you could not see any headland so on most days it was just like looking at concrete, a vast expanse of grey. I was then a bit further inland, maybe a kilometre from the sea. Any time I drove out of the end of the road there was a lovely view of the coastline, which I enjoyed, but no view from the house. There was salt spray on the windows though, all the time in the winter. Now I live with an all round view of hills, woods, fields and mountains, and I love it! Obviously its a personal thing, and if you can choose, then that's great.
I thought they stopped releasing s**t into the sea. I'm pretty sure it is treated before being released.
People used to say that years ago but the mad thing is it was true back then untreated human waste used to be pumped directly into the sea.
Especially the Irish sea. Freezing cold and full of human sh1t.
😮
Hmmm,
Well,
its much, much better than not living by the sea
I like the exterior, and the interior has nice good size rooms, but while I'd like to live close to the sea, or a body of water, that is just a little too close for comfort.
Living by the sea is a vastly overrated activity.
I like it. I'd love to live near the sea.
