Five To View: Gothic Property

This week, in honour of Hallowe’en, we’re going Gothic.  Nope, we don’t mean dressing entirely in black, piling on the scary eyeliner, and emptying a bottle of noir-shaded hair-dye over our head.

Although – note to self – that may not be a bad idea for Saturday night’s festivities…

No, we’re talking about the Gothic style of architecture.  Typical features of which include vaulted roofs, towering spires, sharply pointed arches, imposing buttresses (flying or otherwise) and even – yikes – gargoyles.

In summary: a bit like the haunted houses in Scooby-Doo.  Zoinks!

Fortunately, we’ve managed to find a not-too-macabre selection of Gothic style properties to cast your peepers over. Just try not to picture them in the dead of night.
