Agreed. But seriously. You can't see the telly from any of the sofas. 5.6m smackers and I want to be able to watch the telly.

Indeed! Could you shed some light, please?
Is he referring to the lack of picture comments on the Hornchurch property?

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...

The hall one is a mirror. There are more pictures sitting on the floors than the walls! biggrin

That's a dismal and depressing set of photos taken on an iPad. frown
I was indeed referring to the lack of pictures comment. Pictures 14, 18 and 22.

We recently looked (out of curiosity) at some 2.5m townhouses. New build and top spec, 3000 square feet each, similar sized garden, overlooking the Castle and Long Walk. And I thought that they were too expensive...
I know those - lovely townhouses. Agree about the price.

Originally Eton land IIRC.

Crikey, a 3,000 sq ft garden! That's big for a new build house these days.

Developers normally give you a pokey little courtyard garden big enough for a few patio chairs and an umbrella - like this.

Now, I know that 3 million is still a lot of money, but it really doesn't seem much for such a historic building.

It's an absolute cracker.
Unbelievable that such a place can be bought for a bankers bonus.

I haven't a clue who will buy it.
Can see it being turned into a hotel/spa.

Not sure my lottery win would go on it, I'd certainly have a look though!

You're right there.
It's worth £1.5 million of anyone's money.
I'm from Carlisle, and my Dad owns a nice barn conversion a few miles outside Carlisle. He'll be lucky if it's worth more than 1/4 of a £million.

It looks borderline habitable to me. The purchase price would pale in comparison to what it would cost to get it looking like a home you would be happy to live in.

This has appeared locally, ok it's not total prawn worthy. But I wanted to share with all the PH property types, is this over developed for a modern new build village estate ?

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...

I'm in the process of buying a 70s detached of similar (or even bigger proportions) for over £100k less.

Admittedly the house we're trying to buy requires extensive modernisation but how far do you take it ?

A lot of people like that sort of thing. The footballer lifestyle but in a smaller home.

Lots of bling to impress friends and nothing much to do leaving time to go shopping.

There are an awful lot of people who really can't be bothered to do anything beyond shop for more stuff and run a Hoover round so I see your point but see it from another angle.

The buyer might well want a lot of the furniture left and though we can criticise it's how things are.

That's a strange observation to make, based on a house that's recently decorated. What if you're someone who's bought a do-it-upper but have done it up so it looks 'finished' - can they go shopping or not?

Aside from the gloss black kitchen units, I quite like that. Is this a "get me coat moment"?

I wish my house was like that so I could go hoon my car at the weekends!
