Any faster and under braking you run out of land.

Guernsey still has the highest performance car/per capita ownership in the UK.

Sure this house has been mentioned on this thread before long ago...and it's still for sale. Looks like it's around £3 million.

The brochure PDF creation date is 2011!

Here's an important lesson for would-be developers. When you're selling a house for £3 million, don't buy the kitchen from the B&Q value range

I wouldn't pay £1m for that house, let alone £3m!

I bet the developer went bust during the building of that. Some of the floors look like they have been finished in two different colour tiles or timber and the unfinished kitchen. And it looks st anyway!

I don't doubt that. Without a tax burden I am sure a far few folk would have spare funds for a performance car. Same applies with the BVI, Cayman Isles etc. At least Monaco isn't surrounded by water and you can head out, and over, the hills to enjoy a decent drive.

Can't say the lifestyle appeals but a beautiful house all the same.

I like this place, it's the old Monty Python studio and it's got fantastic character, on the inside at least.

biglaugh £12m and not even a car port let alone a garage. This is Pistonheads remember.
It ahs got gated off street parking! Unfortunately it's pretty busy road in Camden....erm £12mil to live in Camden?!?! You won't buy a 10,000 sq ft house in Hampstead for that but you can probably buy a fk off 5,000 sq ft one.

Yup, it was. Didn't it have that 'electric glass' in the bedrooms upstairs - the stuff that goes opaque when you run a current through it.

It looks perfectly nice; nicely finished, a nice size, nice viewszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz .

Who would have so little imagination that they would pay that much for something that beige?

I'll go against the grain and state I liked and remain liking that effort. That sort of thing floats my boat but I'm around 100 miles and 900 grand short.

Wouldn't life be dull if we all lusted after the same period properties..?

What amazes me is that there are absolutely no luxury touches. At £3m in Edinburgh you would expect a super-swanky kitchen, home automation, pool, wine room, quad garage, amazing home cinema..something to justify that kind of money. All there is is a fairly nice beige box with unbelievably bad ceiling lights.

I'm with you on this one and some of the other modern properties. A lot of the places that most seem to describe as tastefully finished look like nursing homes to me.

As you say....so glad everyone doesn't have the same idea of good taste, the world would be a very boring place!

Yep - looks like the location alone is costing the buyer a cool 1.8m.

Interesting space. Currently an office so you'd have to spend loads to make it into the two bedroom flat the planning allows

"mystery investor..."

I'm vaguely curious as to the investment strategy in place here. That is a shed load of cash as far as I can see. Still, it's The Mirror (what are you doing on that site btw?) so I'm not going to take its uncorroborated word as gospel.
