The three little pigs – straw, wood and stone
November 11th, 2009 by Sian MeadesI feel like having a bit of fun, so here’s a post about the three little pigs. Perhaps if they were modern (and able to talk to estate agents) they’d be buying one of these houses. They all look a bit too sturdy for some big bad wolf to come and huff, puff and blow them down, but you get the idea…
The house made of straw – Oprington £5,250,000
No, not an actual straw house – that would be silly. But a thatched roof is a pretty good alternative, don’t you think?
This five-bedroom property was built in the 1920s and reconstructed in 2007. It comes with an acre of land, a swimming pool, a cinema room and a gym.
The house made of wood – Kingston £6,500,000
Instead of being made entirely of wood, this property in Kingston has stunning exposed timber beams, which is just as good in my opinion.
It’s Grade II-listed, has eight bedrooms, lots of land, and even a wine cellar. Sounds like the perfect property – if you’ve got £6.5 million to spare.
The house made of stone – Croydon £2,395,000
Yes, I know that most houses are made of stone these days (we took notice of the fate of the three little pigs, clearly), but this property has really stunning exposed brickwork.
And I’m betting when the pig in the story built his house he didn’t think to put an indoor swimming pool and leisure complex in it either. This house has both of these (and a games room and bar overlooking the pool too).
