Don't think we have seen this one yet? Interesting mix in with decor

Many times, it's been for sale since 1896 2009.

Anyone know what the story is? Is there a problem with it or is it just overpriced for what it is?

I like it although I agree the decor is a bit of a mish mash.

I follow this thread and enjoy looking at the fantastic properties.

It amazes me the number that are marketed at a million plus.

How many actually sell for these sort of figures outside of prime London?

Surely many sellers arrive at the conclusion that there pride and joy has a really limited market. Do they sit on agents books for months?

As this is PH, I presume the grammatical error on the blackboard wall has been commented upon as well?

A million really doesn't buy that much in desirable areas.

Locally (West Mids) I've been watching the market circa £1.5M, many have been on the market for a couple of years. One recently sold for £940k after 3 years and a couple have recently been reduced to £1.2M - it's very hard to value large homes because comparables are hard to find and it really depends whether it catches a buyer's eye.

However nice building plots are marketed circa £600-850k

[Thankyou4calling]

Thanks, very interesting. 3 years is a blooming long time to be on the market.

From what I can see, browsing rightmove, £1,000,000 still buys a superb property in a nice area I'd say. I appreciate your idea may be different to mine, but there are some really attractive houses on the market at that sort of money, lots of them.

Jesus... I think it would be safe to assume your buying the land, I'm not sure how much of that wouldn't need rebuilding!

Just shows how much tastes vary: I think it's completely charmless, more suited to a hotel than a house.

Outstanding views and location. That part of the coast is amazing.

If I bought that, going on picture 14/24 (captioned as picture 13) I don't think I'd EVER get out of bed again!

And has one of the most un-sociable kitchens I've seen. This is one of the most ridiculous trends in modern kitchen design, everyone sits in a line.

I love about 90% of this house and the view is amazing. Agree pool too small / wrong shape but can only follow lie of land I guess without composing square footage.

I find these houses polarise opinion on PH. A lot of contemporary houses are disliked on PH because they are explained as having a feel of a hotel? I.e cold, grey, remote etc.

Whenever I go to a luxury hotel a love the grande and luxury feel, the clean lines and sharp detailing. I feel I'm somewhere special. So if my home has this luxury feel with personalised details re family then I happy with that. I also appreciate both rustic and Victorian homes but would always lean to a contemporary feel.

So is a "Hotel feel" a bad thing?

I'm fine with contemporary but this is just trying too hard to justify it's price tag, it's a place that will be bought by the US equivalent of an overpaid Premier league player and used to show off with rather than as something for the owner to enjoy.

is that green oak? I hope they've factored in a means to cope with it when the green oak does what green oak does over the next decade or so.

Don't know about anyone else, but I have spent too many nights living away from home in actual hotels, so it's very definitely not something I want my house to resemble. And as for contemporary design, well there is good and bad, and I like good contemporary design, but this house isn't an example of it.
