Houses, eh? They’re just so boring! The old ones are usually too small, they’re always fucking draughty and the new ones have all the joy designed out of them.
What if we didn’t have to live in a house, where do you fancy?
A windmill perhaps? It was good enough for Jonathan Creek and the family in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
How about a lighthouse? You’d get your daily step quota up and the view would be amazing.
One of the best things about Ghostbusters was that they lived in a fire station, how cool is that?
I quite fancy an old cinema, preferably one where the foyer has kept its Art Deco fittings although I’ve got no idea how I’d make the rest of it habitable. But when it’s that cool, I wouldn’t care.
Where do you fancy? |

Ooh I want to live in a church. I forgot about churches because I did. |

I'd go for a church too. I have seen some that have been converted to residential properties. I'd like to keep the pipe organ and learn to play it. There is a C of E list of churches which are being sold off which I look at occasionally.
The other place I'd like is a building in the Solent off the coast of Portsmouth which is huge and isolated. I fancy something quirky like that. It used to be used as a nightclub. I'm not sure if Sainsbury's would deliver there though.

I would love to live in an old church or an old school house. I like the idea of a windmill but it would be so awkward for furniture and I do like to have nice good furniture |

A converted chapel would be lovely - all the high ceilings with the sympathetic modern updates and nods to its past. My friends bought one recently and it already looks absolutely beautiful.
I quite like the idea of a barn conversion as well with the beams etc. |

"I nearly bought a WW2 inshore minesweeper a few years back. My wife suggested it might not be a good idea...
She did?
"
I know, shocking isn't it?
It was that sort of outrageously unreasonable behaviour that lead to our separation.

There’s some kind of electricity sub station not far away, when you look at it as a piece of architecture it’s classic brutalist style but with windows that run the full height, almost cathedral-like.
Just fantastic to see  |
