This is a normal post I told you if you call me that once more I'm leaving you, and my divorce attorney will make you sell this monstrosity

This is a normal post It looks like one of those American theme restaurants
The deceptive image of the towel rack got me thinking though; why do we never see urinals in expensive houses? They'd be a hell of a lot more useful than a bidet.

This is a normal post Wow.
I can only imagine the initial conversation with the architect. "Yeah, that's right, I want you to make it look like a castle. A castle that's been made out of Legos [sic] by a retarded child."

This is a normal post "I want the look of a fake castle, and make sure I get none of the benefits of an actual castle."
Basically I want the most garish bungalow imaginable, with a flat leaking roof, please. Also huge windows offering no privacy. No moat, make sure it's built on low ground too. Florida swamps? Perfect.

This is a normal post It's a shame it wasn't on Grand Designs,
The look on Kevin McCloud's face would have been priceless.

This is a normal post Very much like stone cottages.
Pretty, not comfortable to live in usually.

This is a normal post We have a family cottage in the Highlands.
When I say 'Family Cottage', I mean that it's been in the family for generations, it's definitely not family sized. Bedroom, Living Room, Bathroom, Kitchen.
When my Grandparents still lived in it, it was in dire need of modernisation. The place was still wired with BS546 sockets and there was no cavity insulation on the walls at all. The place got horribly damp.
Once my folks inherited it, they had it refurbished to use as a holiday home due to its hugely touristy location. It was a small cottage before they got the place insulated, it's fucking tiny on the inside now. Barely space to fit a two seater couch in the living room, and you can only get into the double bed from one side in the bedroom.
None of us kids want to be burdened with it when it's our turn. It's in arguably one of the most beautiful locations of the UK, but you'd be fucking mental to consider living in it long term, even as a singleton. And the whole holiday let business is more trouble than it's worth.

This is a normal post Exactly, small, damp and dark.
That's been my experience in Wales, even the larger houses are problematic.

This is a normal post Yeah.
One of the other downsides of insulating such a tiny property is that the already miniscule living room and bedroom windows are now set so far into the wall that they're really only useful for ventilation.
Still, fucking brilliant having a place like that to stay in for absolutely nothing when we fancy a weekend away, so I shouldn't really complain. Just a shame it isn't a wee bit larger.

This is a normal post Lots of people could do with it being a wee bit larger.

This is a normal post A mate has a cottage in the arsehole of nowhere and put an extension out the back in the form of a large marquee
More like a mobile home tacked onto the side and as it is a "temporary structure" it does not need planning. So it been mostly converted into a very large open plan kitchen/diner/living room space and the cottage rooms are now all bedrooms. He then proceeded to get a very large camouflage net from an army surplus store and now it blends in nicely.

This is a normal post Depends how many Welshmen they’re subjugating at the time.

My ex had a private school chum who lived in a castle, I won't say which one, but you'd be surprised at how nice the private dwelling areas of some castles are.

Of course it helps if you are a multi-millionaire.

There's a reason most of the defensive ones got turned into stately homes.

This is a normal post I quite like the Aslan tomb.
Faux stone walls designed by people who've never seen a real one.

Edit: Makes Cloppa Castle seem realistic

The whole thing looks designed by someone who heard about castles down the pub once.

And had a job lot of palladian joinery and fittings...

Would benefit from the same treatment windsor Castle received in 1982
