I'm slightly intrigued now to learn more on the history of the place.

Used to be a shop

The property market is broken.

Be interested to keep an eye on the land registry history for that place and see what it fetches

Apparently once modernised, it could be worth £1 million!

On the plus side it'll only cost about £50 to modernize it

[z4RRSchris]

it will go for £300k is my bet

Can you imagine the ribbing you would get for being the guy that lives in the massive pink house? Not going to be a cheap one to re-paint!!!

The whole place needs a refurb internally which would cost an absolute fortune to do properly as it's a big lump of house, 3 storey tall entrance hall.

If you're spending £1.8m on a house, I don't think a refurb is going to be beyond your means - and some of it looks alright. The kitchen didn't look like a complete horror, for example.

As a bonus, there's a sex pond in the back garden, too

The pink house is OK I reckon. What I really don't like about it are the roof tiles. And the price tag.

They've clearly spent a lot of money on the kitchen , but left a pair of 6ft strip lights!?

My parents have a strip light in the kitchen, there simply isn't a better source of light when you're working. We have a posh strip light in our kitchen too, it's office lighting, so a strip light with some trim to neaten it and suspended from the ceiling. Looks perfectly fine, but function over form when you're working and easy enough to change if you don't like it.

That whole house is interesting, it makes a lot of sense from a practical point of view, though it doesn't hang together very well. The first complaint was the garage door, but clearly if the garage door was on the front of that space you couldn't actually get a car in it without a set of dollies. Not sure if bringing the garage forward would block access to the side of the drive for cars perhaps? The side extension has much more useable space in the roof because it has twin dormers and the bathroom window is much better than, for example that first tiny house where they've not put a window in the bathroom at the front at all. The whole house is a decent size with a great garden and could be made to at least look OK with a bit of thought.

Just read through this thread for the first time, is it crap houses or expensive for what they are houses that we're after? That little shop house in SW3 looks really nice if you're child-free and want to be in London, I really like it. Most of the houses shoe-horned into small plots are perfectly good houses in their context too, not sure how you engineer around a tapering plot for example. If they're priced right I'm sure someone is perfectly happy to buy them.

That has to be a winner of this thread. It'll be extremely hard to top that.

Why? Look where it is. If you needed to be in London with work during the week that would be pretty perfect. If you were on your own and wanted to be in posh London it's pretty much perfect too. Obviously needs work, but that's hardly unusual either. Would be a really nice compact detached house when done up.

It's a really nice building in a really nice bit of a really expensive place to live, but the per foot price isn't particularly exceptional is it?

I was really surprised to see a sex pond in that property.

You think the agent could have actually used a photographer not his phone to take the photos on!

£2000/sqft is pretty damn high even for where it is. And very high for the type of property.
