It's a Britain thing - we are a favourite place for international murderers to hide.

My family home is in Wentworth, Surrey, where General Pinochet holed up when trying to avoid justice. And I wonder just how many international terrorists are holed up/have parked their money in Mayfair and Chelsea?

It's all done on a swap basis, we have sent all our crims to the Costa Del Sol.

Only thing I can possibly think of is a building being put up with a thin ground floor and then a protruding first floor with more space. Otherwise it makes zero sense at all - can't even make it into parking spaces which would be worth a bit.

Could up up one floor, slight overhang backwards if allowed.

Custom single beds, etc

Plus a basement = 700+sqft?

Genuinely baffling.

And I doubt you could get permission for a basement there especially no wider than the plot.

Someone remind us to check the planning portal in say a year or so.

Here is 4 Ennismore Gardens Mews basement extension, matches the ground floor exactly, so likely no more for the corridor/roofed pavement house.

The carpet in photo 14, I have never seen anything like it, it's difficult to know what's pattern and what's stain.

Can anyone explain the floor plan of this house, i'm a little confused:

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

It's a six storey house.

Sort of, but not one above each other. They seem to go up half height front to back, have a look on streetview here - https://www.google.com/maps/@51.2603046,-1.1304492...

It's why only one end of each floor has windows.

Someone (most likely an expat Brit) has converted their Villa into a castle.

When you are a pushy irritating client who's always changing their minds and you give your architect the choice over windows.

Sorry, correction. It's a house. Apparently.

[FourWheelDrift]

Ah but it is architect designed.

Looking on Google maps there seems to be one of those at the end of each row.

The last pic of the back garden is making my eyes water.

I guess it's that shape because of the the railway line directly behind it - https://www.google.com/maps/@51.4329899,-3.2159167...

Looks like it was a small care home.

Maybe it would look better with furniture?

Toilet in the kitchen? Useful for when your cooking experiments go badly wrong.



The house is in Fitzroy North, which is a suburb that's just to the north of Melbourne's city centre. Asking is around £480K at current exchange rates.

Ps. It's strikes me as being very arty and bohemian. Are there any bearded old men artists in the area that mothers tell their children to avoid?

Is it Rolf Harris' holiday home?

[FourWheelDrift]

That was also posted on the Real Estate pron thread, I think someone even ID'd the owner, or there was some debate about footballer or northern Carpet king.
