I was just looking through the GW returns, and was compelled to google Tom Kirby's mailing address, after I noticed it included the word "Hall" rather than house, and it turns out it is (or was recently) for sale.

Your chance to have a snoop around the chairman's house. Was disappointed by lack of gaming table :(

Do you think he is bailing out and retiring to the West Indies or something?

That home seems exactly the kind of place a wealthy retired executive would want to hang on to if they had an interest in country pursuits (as opposed to rowing, or sailing, for instance.)

Not to mention he won't get much in south-east England for a paltry £1.25 million.

Most of us however are not

I expected the house to be bigger to be honest.

Picture 14 seems abit odd compared to the rest too.

**Kilkrazy**

Bigger? Eight bedrooms over 722 square metres is pretty big, plus it has grounds. He could easily have fitted a HHHobby room in there.

You won't find a lot of houses that are significantly larger without them being actual stately homes.

**Alpharius**

And nary a Space Marine in sight - not even a topiary or two!

**Ashiraya**

I am surprised by the lack of Bond villain-esque doomsday devices.

Well, he's not getting any younger; perhaps he needs a smaller space, closer to his lair...er, I mean office.

Bonus points if it turns out his wife is the real estate agent.

**Momotaro**

Perhaps we need AoS-style terrain rules...

Seriously, go and see the Ansells at East Stoke instead - they'll give you a cuppa and sell you some toy soldiers...

I thought his house was centered in a active volcano? Disappointed

She has too many unimportant jobs already.

You mean too many important jobs that she's not qualified for....

Nice house. I kind of felt like I was watching one of the better episodes of Escape to the Country.

**Kilkrazy**

You have Escape To The Country in Australia?

My wife is devoted to that programme. It gives me hope I might be able to sell up and escape some day.

**Ahtman**

I'm surprised the house isn't overpriced or that it has some barrier to the entry.

For a UK house that is huge. I think picture 14 is trying to show the walled garden, but using the strange lenses that estate agents use to make rooms look bigger.

This is a house in the UK. It is overpriced.

It runs like three nights a week. We get a lot of British shows.

Yeah, my wife too. It gives me hope of escaping in to my study for an hour to paint some minis
