Your dream home that isn’t a house

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?

We live in an ex hostel, pretty much a larger version of a cabin in the woods.

A 4x4 is a necessity.

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

Pete Nelson's creations on Treehouse Masters are truly awe inspiring. I'd love to live in one.

A Tudor era property would do for us too. Nothing huge, just big enough for its own minstrels gallery & courtyard garden.

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.

Hired a boat house in the Dam before. That would be a cool thing to live on. Always liked the ones on the upper Thames as well.

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 supermarket, obviously with all the stock still in it.

Then protect it like a fortress for the inevitable zombie apocalypse

I nearly bought a WW2 inshore minesweeper a few years back. My wife suggested it might not be a good idea...

A converted 747 would be ace.

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.

They are cool, just a bugger to convert, and apparently they wont let you have a rooftop conversion any more.. which kind of ruins the appeal..

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

Old warehouse - big exposed metal beams. Exposed original brick work & just turn it into one big bachelor pad.
