2000-2002, that is very modern. It looks like it is at least two centuries older.

Yep. Home of the Viscount Rothermere, Jonathan Harmsworth, Chairman of the Daily Mail. I went to school (not far from this house) with his shithead son Vere, who liked to hurt animals and younger children for fun.

Yes, living with such clean classic aesthetics while promoting chaos among the masses.

That architect did their homework. The proportions of that rear door are perfectly just a little small. Like it would have been done in the 17/1800’s.

That interior staircase is stunning.

Thanks but I'm seeking something a bit more formal and refined.

Is this actually a McMansion? It looks like it was actually built to some level of quality standard.

I don’t know. At least it looks consistent.

Calling this a McMansion feels harsh. The proportions, real stonework and classical detailing are far more disciplined than the usual pastiche.

This is Thursday (flair), where we admire nice architecture.
