House Names

[amateur]

I was out delivering today and spotted "Llamedos" ( presumably owned by a backward Welshman) and further down in Kent there is "Fawkham Hall"

 

Any others that have caught your eye and amused you?

I knew a couple that lived in a rather grand house and it was called "Elland hall".To cut a long story,he was a dodgy solicitor into some very dodgy dealings and did a runner leaving the country with everyone looking for him.He also left her with the debt and she renamed the house "F... hall" even putting it on a plaque outside wich was quite funny.

A friend had a house on Clapham Common in London that he called "Sea View". That really did confuse the neighbours!

 

Also saw a house in the South of France called "Boules d'Or" which was the rather rude nickname [in English] for someone called Sir James Goldsmith, who seemed to be suing everyone at the time - maybe a Frenchman with a sense of humour???
