This was in the Sunday Times last week, it's the gaudiest display of LED's you'll find outside an XF's front bumper, with more gold than Gulzar, with a godawful layout, but the glass-sided garage is too PH to miss. I cannot wait for tonker's comments. Chigwell, £1.6m, says it all...

I can't view the full floor plan. Am I missing something?

Found the Chigwell house on Rightmove.

It's been reduced to £1.5 mil now

Very Father Ted.

If it sells close to the asking price, it looks like it'll set a record for property prices on Yell: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/detail.htm...

Doesn't bode well for the value once renovated.

Funnily enough, was just yesterday talking to a chap who had recently moved from Yell to North Bucks. He was raving about the place, really regretted moving away.

All finished, and up there with the best.

I've been waiting for this house to come on the market since we moved nearby and it did so this week. The price is about double what I expected for the area but I shall buy it anyway when I win the Euromillions tonight.

Yep, agree with that. Lovely place and location.

It was on the market last in May 2005 for £2,900,000 and sold quickly.

Then you could start a renovation thread

It's a little remote...though I like how it makes the location look even more bleak.

It's the sort of house you and a few others stumble upon at night during a storm when you are lost walking the moors.

"What's that noise downstairs in the cellar? I think I'll go and investigate."

Haven't we had that one before? I recall the interior - someone has gone to some trouble to remove the period character and replace it with modern and, in my view, less appealing equivalent finishes.

Triple coated wiring to contain electro magnetic fields.

The cat5 cabling will presumably be pre-frozen for optimal sound and the pool is lightly lined in finest snake oil.

It as also been designed to eliminate all character.

You'd think with 17,244 square feet, they'd have more to point out than "the windows have trickle vents".....

Sits somewhere between 15 and 20M on rightmove.

It looks much nicer than the halls of residence in my day.

Ah ok - i failed to realize the power of compound interest ?

16.82% growth per year (compund)

Thxs -that's a good rate of return i guess ?- although his (unknown)renovation spend needs to be taken into account

Is it a university? Can't really tell from that picture but looks like it could be student type accommodation.

[z4RRSchris]

it's in the most special location in London, and has achieved over £5000psf
