Historic Building in England

This morning takes us to a four-bedroom two-and-a-half bath historic house in Surrey, England. It is on the market for 999,950 pounds ($1.5 million).<br /><p>Portions of this 2,332-square-foot home date to the 1600s, when it was two separate cottages. The structures were combined around the turn of the 20th century.<br /></p><p>In 1975 the house was nearly razed to accommodate a new highway. Demonstrations led to a rerouting of the road, and the house was then deemed a “building of historic interest” by the Surrey County Council. It is in Lyne, a village about two miles outside of Chertsey. London is about 45 minutes away.</p><br /><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2010/03/09/realestate/09surrey-slideshow/09surrey-slideshow-custom1.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 433px;" /><br />This photograph would have been perfect without the flashy car. I'm guessing the roof must have been thatched before they renovated it.<br /><br /><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2010/03/09/realestate/09surrey-slideshow/09surrey-slideshow-custom2.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 433px;" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2010/03/09/realestate/09surrey-slideshow/09surrey-slideshow-custom3.jpg" style="width: 652px; height: 435px;" /><br />The house retains historic details like exposed beams on the walls and ceilings, brick fireplaces and casement windows.<br /><br /><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2010/03/09/realestate/09surrey-slideshow/09surrey-slideshow-custom4.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 433px;" /><br />That TV set is a flaming eyesore. Pretend it's not there. Cover it up with your hand and enjoy the beam framed fireplace.<br /><br /><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2010/03/09/realestate/09surrey-slideshow/09surrey-slideshow-custom5.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 434px;" /><br />Another brick fireplace in the dining room.<br /><br /><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2010/03/09/realestate/09surrey-slideshow/09surrey-slideshow-custom6.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 433px;" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2010/03/09/realestate/09surrey-slideshow/09surrey-slideshow-custom7.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 433px;" /><br />Fantastic windows and doors in the conservatory. Love the metal framed table and charis.<br /><br /><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2010/03/09/realestate/09surrey-slideshow/09surrey-slideshow-custom12.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 433px;" /><br />Two of the three bedrooms upstairs have exposed beams. The master has three exposures; the two smaller bedrooms both have washbasins.<br /><br />I linked this post at <a href="http://www.sillylittlesparrow.com/2010/03/toot-your-horn-tuesday-suddenly.html">Leah's blog</a> who was hosting a Toot your horn MckLinky party this week.<br />And I'm linking it once again today at Melissa's <a href="http://theinspiredroom.net/?">The Inspired Room</a>.
