I wish I didn't have to live in London. That house is lovely, not expensive, and would be beautiful inside after some minimal spending.

This needs some interior decoration but good value, pleasant gardens and a quirky garage.

With you on pricing. £2m is damned expensive for the area. But given that the same sized (3500 square feet - it's huge for a London house) Victorian detached house in West Dulwich or Clapham is £4m+, and £3m+ in Balham, they're chancing it.
9000 sq ft, £12m?

I like this house just round the corner from us.

Pricey, but I've lived in the area for 12 years, so still think stuff should cost half what it does. Our house is a 1930s one, and semi-detached. The Victorian's Edwardians on the road seem to command a 20% premium over the 30's stuff.

Overpriced for sure - as discussed elsewhere, this segment of the property market has been hard hit by the top end stamp duty.

If they knock £600k off it, I'd quite like it. I like what they have done inside, and these houses are very pretty when you see them. Only problem is that the road it's on is a bit of a cut-through for traffic.

My mother used to say she hated wood floors because when she was a child it meant you could not afford carpet. I thought she was crazy until I saw that house.

Knock yourself out with this bunch, my silly Rightmove saved search, houses £700k+ in a 10 mile radius of a nearby postcode.

We holidayed in Norfolk for the first time last summer and fell for the place. Specifically we stayed near Aylsham and driving home had the usual dream chat of selling up, moving and me getting a job and commuting to Norwich.

I reckon we could sell our 3-bed semi in Hertfordshire, add a small bit to the mortgage and bag something like this:

Do it. Lovely property and a lovely part of the world.

Norwich (and Norfolk more generally) is great!

Sadly we have just spent £150k extending our current property plus have 5 year olds settled at school.

One can dream though.

Looks like a cheap social services paint out job from the 1960s.

Shabby chic always makes me think of Harry Enfield's "I saw you coming" character.

It needs some rugs, colour and furnishings, but I like the look.

Rugs definitely - wooden floors are a pain in these houses as they make so much noise. But I do like the house.

With you on pricing. £2m is damned expensive for the area. But given that the same sized (3500 square feet - it's huge for a London house) Victorian detached house in West Dulwich or Clapham is £4m+, and £3m+ in Balham, they're chancing it. Next door Streatham has plenty of houses at £2m, but whilst big, they tend to be semi-detached.

I love period houses, despite the fact that they are a complete pain to renovate and run.

£2m for Tulse Hill really is a lot. They're obviously chancing it - no question it'd go very quickly at £1.5m; I reckon it'll end up going £1.8-1.9ish.

As someone who grew up in a 3,500 sq ft house in SE21, it is rather painful to think how successful I will need to be in order to provide that kind of accommodation for my children.
