I love how he uses the same inflection to talk about wallpaper and the murderer

[HandSolitude]

Back in the day, checking pieces of timber for straightness was the main form of entertainment.

I guess it just cracks me up that they still lock every single latch even though it’s only them

[gravebeast]

That was the most British looking baby I’ve ever seen

[CharliRay]

Young Sally Anne was a plump lil baby 😂

[TheGenepotter]

"they had to scrape off ten layers of wallpaper..." To expose the lead paint to our family properly

[OliverTrist]

Don't laugh. With that level of security, those people will be the last ones left standing when Zombie Armageddon happens.

Mr Cholmley Warner narrates this spiffing tale of the family living in the former cop shop 😊

According to the Bank of England inflation calculator £1.6k in 1961 is around £30k today.($38k/€35k)

Epic. That looks like all kinds of fun. Sally Ann had the coolest sleepovers.

[nathansavage]

Inflation adjusted all that was £44k? Thats less than my ftb deposit!

It was going swimmingly until the extreme haunting began to manifest itself.

[jimmy_x]

It's probably worth a few million today

[nobodycares]

I just coppied the rhin black stipes for my living room wall. Its amazing.

They’d be family vloggers with an account documenting the renovation

[TheRedBaron]

I wasnt born in a prison but i was concieved in a prison parking lot 🥳

[AdamD-vh]

That's an excellent place to live!!!
A man-cave that has a steel door..!

[halahala]

Omg the small door so i dont need to open the whole door
Its perfect i need it

[Helfirehydratrans]

I love that he has his own locked up sanctuary
Study

Like some people say, that’s a horrible study, but I think it’s a dream

If it was big enough and had a large yard with a high fence, you could dig a well, plant both outdoor and inside container garden's, have chickens and a couple of cows or goats and set up solar roof panels.
