Inside the Escape to the Country 'mystery home' on sale now for £900k dubbed 'real life doll house' | The Sun

A PROPERTY dubbed as a "real life doll house" has gone on the market for £900,000 following an appearance on Escape to the Country.

It’s not your usual Grade II listed property, however, it is said to have Flemish influences when it comes to architectural style.


Intriguingly, its square and proportioned shape gives it the appearance of a doll’s house.

Sitting on glorious grounds, the property is in the wonderfully-named hamlet of Bullo Pill near Newnham on Severn.

The stunning home is also a short distance from the river and even boasts some serious maritime connections.

Remains of a dock can still be seen at Bullo Pill as it was used for boatbuilding up until 1800.

The six-bedroom property has its origins in the mid to late nineteenth century and may have even been built for the local harbour master.

Those familiar with WWII sea battles will have heard about the infamous sinking of the Royal Navy battle cruiser, HMS Hood, by the German battleship Bismark in 1941.

Within three minutes of being hit by torpedoes, the HMS Hood sank with the loss of all lives, apart from three.

Among those lost to the sea was the commander of HMS Hood, Captain Ralph Kerr, CBE – and it's believed that he has links to the property.

The home also featured as the 'mystery house' on Escape to the Country in January 2013.

Architecturally it is very different to what normally comes on the market, a quirky house, with show-off turrets and interesting design details.

Most of all it is bright, airy, all polished floorboards, flagstones, and plenty of windows.

For added charm, there are even three charming attic bedrooms with wooden treads, which leads up from the ground floor and can be joined from the first floor.
