This is a magical building in the Oxfordshire countryside, set high above the River Thames. There is a romance to the building, with its turreted, castle-like appearance, and uninterrupted views of the spires of Oxford.

it's not a castle! it's just got certain castle-like characteristics

from that language I'm reminded of the artist who went undercover as a billionaire, along with another article I read somewhere but lost the link to

so many of these places selling vibes and ideas. they're not residences, they're showpieces. they're "it's got an indoor cinema and 5 private bars and ...." flexing
