Crazy-ornate country house in Wraysbury, Staines-Upon-Thames, Berkshire, UK looks more like a castle than a castle. 7bds, 6ba, £3M/ $3.718.
Tumblr media
This looks like an entrance with spiral stairs for the 2nd level and on the left, the entrance to the main floor.
Tumblr media
Look at this brick work and the ornate woodwork on the ceiling.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I can't get over all this masonry and millwork and it's only $3M. Look at the fresco in the ceiling, too. The fireplaces in this home are magnificent.
Tumblr media
This is the largest Inglenook I've ever seen. Look at the ceiling, it's like a giant framed painting.
Tumblr media
The everyday dining area between the living room and kitchen.
Tumblr media
Look at the kitchen cabinetry. Slap some black paint on them and you got some gothic showpiece. I know one thing, I'm not feelin' the lime green and yellow. I think it cheapens the look. Reminds of those retro disco colors from the 70s.
Tumblr media
Formal dining room is very light and has a wall of beautiful windows and doors to the garden. Looks like a newer addition.
Tumblr media
Check out the formal living room. Look at all the columns.

Beautiful stairs in the center of the home.

Yowzer! This primary bedroom is amazing. Look at the mural on that curved wall.

Updated bath.

Modernized secondary bedroom has a lovely skylight. Looks like a hotel.

42 Reverdy Road, The Rider Household.
Follow up from This post
Can be found on the gallery under '42 Reverdy Road' ID: rebecca707
Some things about the house that occurred to me whilst building this, under a read more to restrain my ramblings.
General background first;
This is the end of a row of pretty classic English Victorian terrace houses, these are the sort of buildings I've lived in most of my adult life in the UK, and if you ever take the Thameslink south of the river in London you'll see tons of houses like this; especially with the modern extension with skylights and large sliding doors on the back.
They film Alex's neighbourhood in Bermondsey, which is not quite as affluent an area as Chelsea, (because, honestly, would be wild if Alex actually lived in Chelsea) but is still definitely quite wealthy, houses like this one in this neighbourhood would sell for upwards of a £1M in the current market.
Onto design choices for the build;
The downstairs is fairly open plan, and In the show we see several scenes that more or less show the whole thing, so I tried to replicate it as accurately as I could. In the lounge, it looks like there's a desk in the back corner, and since we see Ian has an office, and Alex has a desk in his room, I thought maybe this was for Jack to study, so in the build I added some case files for her to be reading. Also, I added bikes for Ian and Alex and put them under the stairs.
I found the upstairs really tricky - we only see Alex's room, and a brief look at the hallway outside his room, which seemed to lead to more rooms, and the stairs. This made me think he was at the back of the house, as most terraces taper at the back for access to the garden. Also, the window seems to line up with a window we see on the upstairs floor in an exterior shot of the kitchen. I feel especially proud of Alex's room - I think it gets the vibe of slightly messy but active high achiever - there's a certificate by his front door in Hebrew (presumably a Krav Maga thing), so I added lots of rosettes and medals and certificates. He's also got a row of hooks above his bed with like a snorkel, and climbing rope, so I used some of the snowboarding stuff to replicate that, and gave him a desk full of hobby items for boy scout spy crafting.
Jack's room was total conjecture, and also a bit of a challenge, since I don't feel I have a sense for her aesthetic taste in furniture, I tried to think what her room would be like considering she's lived there for presumably most of her early twenties, but this also being not her house/not her family/not permanent. I definitely think it would be nice, and comfortable, and personalised to a certain extent. So I gave her some kinda Ikea-ish furniture, and decorated it with small, movable clutter, and posters, pictures, and tapestries, tapped and blue tacked to the wall rather than nailed in.
Ian's bit was also a challenge, despite being the other room upstairs that we see. His office is categorically in the wrong place, the entry door should be on a different wall. Conceivably, it should be where I put Ian's en-suite, and there's a little corridor leading there, but I couldn't make that work without squishing everything together too much. So I put it in the modern bit, thinking that Ian might have built in some extra protection when doing the extension to add more security to what might be like the 'spy hub' in the house. We also see that there's another door inside Ian's study - for the level of privacy that room would need, it only really made sense to me for that door to lead to his bedroom, which also shows how he never really gets away from his work, when he sleeps right next to his study. So I gave him this kind of self-contained suite of rooms, which makes him somewhat shut off and isolated from the others. Considering how immediately Jack complies with a request for a moment of privacy when Ian is in his office, I imagine there's some pretty deeply ingrained house rules about disturbing Ian's office for 'confidential banking reasons', which makes him harder to access when he's in his bedroom. Also, Jack and Alex share a bathroom, but Ian has an en-suite. His bedroom is nice but bland, with a few souvenirs of his travels and a rack of monochrome clothing for his grey casual wear, and his bathroom is modern and dark, with some medical supplies by the sink for patching himself up after a mission.
The garden, on reflection, is a bit chaotic - I think it should actually be larger, and have a little shed. But what we see of it in Season 3 is different to season 1, it's smaller, more enclosed, and has some pretty high walls all around. I wasn't sure which way to go so left it fairly blank, with space for the wheelie bins round the side, a little patio, some grass, a drying line, and a football. The chaotic bit comes from the bbq I gave them in the corner which, looking at the photos, my Rider Sims must have managed to set on fire and burn immediately. Oh and also to make Ian Alex's uncle in CAS I had to make a John to be Ian's brother and Alex's father, so I Immediately killed him and put his headstone in a corner of the garden, so they can all be haunted by John's ghost. Neato!

Sebbie honey, I just wanted to pop in with some thoughts/thots I had been having for the better part of the day. I hope you're having a fun summer and that you guys are staying cool over in the UK. It's been really hot over here with a ton of rain and as a result, the woods near the house are super green (but damn do I wish all the possums would come out at night and eat those fuckin ticks!!! lol).
I've been thinking alot about cowboy!Miles Miller lately (I'm starting to think both my blogs should be called "Thots gone wild" instead) and how friggin hot the man would be (lol).
Just imagining Miles being out in the field all morning, roping cattle with his father, Otis and Miles is in a pair of dark washed jeans, boots, a white t-shirt and a black cowboy hat. The t-shirt is really tight around his upper half so it shows all the indents in his muscles and shows off his arms perfectly. After he's been roping cattle all day, Miles is all sweaty and decides to take you for a dip in the lake so his t-shirt is all wet and clingy, showing off the rest of him.
He always smells like wood, hay and horses and you just can't get enough of it. Sometimes you'll catch Miles in the stables as he's shoeing a horse or brushing them down and getting them to settle in for the night. It doesn't take much to put either of you in the mood and when it does, Miles has you pinned against the wall, sucking and biting at your neck while your hands are underneath the hem of his t-shirt, running up the warm, bare skin on his sides and slowly moving down into his jeans which makes him moan into your mouth as he's kissing you.
Miles has also been known to rail you right up in the hayloft when he's kept up at night for one reason or another. It's a little bit itchy afterwards but the sight of you underneath him with the full light of the moon coming in through the skylight really turns him on. If you steal his black cowboy hat off the hook near one of the horse stalls and wear it?? He's a man possessed!!! (lol).
aaaaah my love! cowboy miles! no, because this could actually work so well 🥹 miles who leaves the motel after everything happens that one night (and who stays alive), and you both decide you want a quieter life. he always dreamed of owning his own farm and now he does, with you and his family.
if thought his sweet little uniform turned you on, hell, you ain’t seen nothing till you see him working in the fields and riding his horse, rope around his hand. you even start to experiment with rope a little more.
oh and the hayloft! it’s your favourite little get away when it all gets too much for miles.
this is perfect! thank you so much for this sweet thought my love! the uk has been unbearably hot, but its getting better! i hope you’re staying cool and having a wonderful day, mwah! 💌💗

Another thing that salespeople will do (at least in the UK) is try to pressure you into making a decision then and there.
Since my partner and I bought our house (which needs MAJOR renovation but thankfully came with a cabin we could move into until the house has things like ✨toilets✨ and ✨non-lethal electrics✨) we have been bombarded with targeted ads about funding for new windows and heating systems and insulation etc. And since we do need windows we contacted one of these companies to see what they were like.
The first thing they did was spam my partner with calls (during the work day which is annoying as a teacher) confirming that there just happened to be a consultant in the area who would come to our house that evening BUT we absolutely both needed to be there to speak to him. Two things here: we live very rural, 2 and a bit hours away from the nearest city, so the fact that the company happened to be visiting houses in our area the very same day we enquired seemed a stretch. The second thing: while it seems innocuous enough that they would want both of us there for this consultation, we had been through this exact scenario with a different company, at our previous house which my partner owned but I had no involvement in- they company refused to meet with him alone about his own house, his partner had to be there too. Whether this is because they think they can appeal more to women about spending x amount of money on a warm home, they don't want people to be able to use "I'll have to discuss it with the wife first" as a reason to not agree straight away, or they just don't want third parties misrepresenting their pitch, I don't now, but it's interesting that most of these companies will insist on this before meeting you.
Flash forward to that evening, its Scotland, its March, its dark and we're wearing headtorches and massive jackets. We meet the salesman at our house, and walk inside, expecting him to have a look at the windows we've got, but he takes out a slightly damp folder with a printed out PowerPoint and starts talking us through why most well known window brands are terrible and not to be trusted. My partner asks him a question about the u-value of the windows and he has no idea what a u-value is. We mention skylights and he umms and ahs, telling us that builders won't fit them anymore, it's not worth their time, it's too hard (completely untrue).
At the end of his pitch, which took the best part of an hour, he gives us a (very high) price for replacing our windows, but isn't able to give us any technical information about the windows. When we say we would have to discuss the offer and get back to him he knocks 20% off straight away. We tell him we appreciate that but we will still need to sleep on it and he rings his boss in front of us, describing our situation. The boss offers to take another 50% off the quote. We once again decline and say we would need to sleep on it first. The man starts to get agitated, going over his talking points again about why the windows are such a great deal. He makes no move to leave and it's now past 9pm.
Throughout this exchange the air around us in the house which has not been heated since 2019 gets colder and colder. Myself and my partner came prepared in our big jackets but the man in his cashmere sweather is starting to shiver (it turns out he had driven 3 and a half hours up to the Highlands from the Central belt- not in our area at all. We did offer him tea-he declined). Having taken a quote and been firm with the man that we would not be making a decision that night, the exchange turned into a spectacle of "how cold will this guy have to get before he leaves?"
Eventually, with blue lips, he makes a call to his boss telling him about the poor state of our house and how we wouldnt be at the point of needing windows for months. It doesn't look like there's going to be a sale here today. The boss makes a final offer to us and we tell him, once again, to put it in an email and we'll discuss it and get back to them.
We never receive this email.
And it's alright for us who are stubborn to begin with and can wait out a pushy man until he's so cold he has to leave, but it makes you wonder what the product quality is on something they have to market so aggressively, why they couldn't let us sleep on their offer, and what people who don't have a cold house and a puffy jacket would have to do in that situation.
So yeah, if a quote is good one day, it should also be good the next day. Always sleep on it and be wary of time sensitive offers.
Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.

Scientists discover massive cave on moon that could be used to shelter astronauts
New Post has been published on https://sa7ab.info/2024/08/16/scientists-discover-massive-cave-on-moon-that-could-be-used-to-shelter-astronauts/
Scientists discover massive cave on moon that could be used to shelter astronauts
Tumblr media Tumblr media
An Italian-led team of scientists say they have confirmed evidence of a sizable cave on the moon not far from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed 55 years ago. The cave is located at the Sea of Tranquility just 250 miles from Apollo 11’s landing site and researchers suspect there are hundreds more that could house future astronauts as several nations look to create a permanent base on the lunar surface for humans. Apollo 17 in 1972 was the final flight of the Apollo program.The pit, like the more than 200 others discovered up there, was created by the collapse of a lava tube, scientists say.CHINA LAUNCHES LUNAR PROBE TO TAKE SAMPLES FROM FAR SIDE OF THE MOONResearchers analyzed radar images of the Mare Tranquillitatis pit (MTP), an elliptical skylight with vertical or overhanging walls and a sloping pit floor that seems to extend further underground. The radar images were captured by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2010 and compared the results with lava tubes on Earth. “We find that a portion of the radar reflections originating from the MTP can be attributed to a subsurface cave conduit tens of metres long, suggesting that the MTP leads to an accessible cave conduit beneath the Moon’s surface,” and abstract from the study reads.”This discovery suggests that the MTP is a promising site for a lunar base, as it offers shelter from the harsh surface environment and could support long-term human exploration of the moon.”The radar data reveals only the initial part of the underground cavity, according to the scientists. They estimate it’s at least 130 feet wide and tens of yards long, probably more and is accessible from MTP, the deepest known pit on the moon which is about 330 feet deep, according to NASA.”Lunar caves have remained a mystery for over 50 years. So it was exciting to be able to finally prove the existence” of one, Leonardo Carrer and Lorenzo Bruzzone of the University of Trento, wrote in an email to the Associated Press.Most of the pits seem to be located in the moon’s ancient lava plains, according to the scientists. There also could be some at the moon’s South Pole, the planned location of NASA’s astronaut landings later this decade. Permanently shadowed craters there are believed to hold frozen water that could provide drinking water and rocket fuel.During NASA’s Apollo program, 12 astronauts landed on the moon, beginning with Armstrong and Aldrin on July 20, 1969.ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, JUNE 18, 1983, ASTRONAUT SALLY RIDE BECOMES FIRST AMERICAN WOMAN IN SPACEThe findings suggest there could be hundreds of pits on the moon and thousands of lava tubes. Such places could serve as a natural shelter for astronauts, protecting them from cosmic rays and solar radiation as well as from micrometeorite strikes. Building habitats from scratch would be more time-consuming and challenging, even when factoring in the potential need of reinforcing the cave walls to prevent a collapse, the team said.Mahesh Anand, a professor of planetary science and exploration at the UK-based The Open University, told The Natioal News that a lunar habitat inside a cave would be less hostile than what astronauts would experience on the lunar surface.”For example, there would less fluctuation in ambient temperature between lunar day and night and more protection from space radiation and micrometeorite impacts,” he told the outlet.”However, getting access to 100 meter (330 foot) deep chute would be a challenge and would require innovative engineering solutions for establishing a sustainable habitat.”The U.S. aims to put a crew back on the lunar surface by the end of 2025 as part of a renewed commitment to crewed missions, aided by private sector players such as SpaceX and Blue Origin. They plan to land on the moon’s South Pole where permanently shadowed craters are believed to be packed with frozen water.In February, the U.S. witnessed Intuitive Machines’ Odysseus lunar lander touching down near Malapert A in the South Pole region of the moon. It marked the first American spacecraft that has landed on the moon since the last crewed Apollo mission over 50 years ago.

Okay, let's get a little spooky with the early 18th century Wingfield House, Wingfield, Wiltshire, UK. The 4bd, 3ba home underwent significant expansion in the late 19th century when there was a demand for additional entertaining rooms and separate wings for bachelors and children. During WWI, the manor was used as a military hospital. In the 1940s, the property was divided into four separate dwellings. £1.250M / $1.530M
Tumblr media
The newer portion of the house was done in Gothic Revival style, while the original is Georgian.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The home is accessed via an enclosed communal courtyard and a Gothic revival doorway. This opens to a double-height entrance hall paved with York flagstones.
Tumblr media
The impressive ballroom off the main hall features a timber barrel-vaulted ceiling.
Tumblr media
Tudor-arched fireplace has the Caillard family arms (owners that renovated the home after WWI) above the arch, along with a French motto on top of the fireplace. Note the large Inglenook and window openings in the fireplace itself.
Tumblr media
39 ft library hall, (and the oldest part of the house), with six floor-to-ceiling oak bookshelves, giving both open and closed storage options.
 
Tumblr media
Drawing room with early Georgian plaster is finished in a vibrant shade of turquoise and has a white marble fireplace dating back to 1760 that came from the Circus building in Bath.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Large kitchen and dining area with cream-painted cabinetry. Wide, stripped timber flooring and an original limestone fireplace create focal points in the room.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ascending to the first floor via a fine early Georgian staircase with waist-high paneling and a delicate domed skylight above is the remarkable primary bedroom suite set in the corner.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This space was meticulously crafted by the current owners including Gothic-inspired doors and built-in seating in a contemporary oriel window inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite movement. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A modern marble shower room cleverly concealed behind double wardrobe doors. That's how ya do it- this is a great idea.
Tumblr media
Secondary bedroom adjacent to the primary has a beautiful built-in closet and window seats.
Tumblr media
On the floor above is a bedroom under the eaves with thick original beams.
Tumblr media
What a magnificent home- look at the architecture. Lovely pond on the property, too.
Tumblr media
Horticulturist's delight is a modern greenhouse on the property.
Tumblr media
There's a plethora of different plant and tree species on the property, all meticulously maintained.
