We all love a nosey in others' homes, and for vintage-lovers, nothing beats looking at historic properties from bygone eras, especially when original features have been preserved.
In Cardiff, South Wales, a Grade-II listed historic mansion has gone on the market for the first time in 50 years, and so we can all get to see the pictures of the interior! Formerly the home of Welsh philanthropist Sir Julian Hodge, the property was built in 1906 and has eight bedrooms. The estate includes two buildings separate from the main house, and 5 acres of land. If you'd like to guess how much this property is going for, have a look at the pictures, take a guess, and then you'll find the answer at the bottom of the page!
What do you think of it? I love the grounds, they're wonderful gardens - did you see the size of the glasshouse? I also think the little lodge is very cute. I am not sure about the interior of the main house though, the wood panelling they used back then is quite dark and I think you could probably spend a lot of money on this house giving it a bit of tlc whilst trying to retain the original character. It's certainly not my dream house.
Price tag: £3 million! On the market with
Cooke and Arkwright here.
