I for one certainly would, right up my street in all respects with the exception of price!

Great location and outside space but I would get such a headache with that interior! How much is this likely to go for?

I'd be very happy with Hugh's seconds.

Wonder if the hot tub was there when he was the incumbent? If so there'd be some stories to tell I'd wager.

On the Knight a Frank website it's listed above a flat at £ 7.45 million so that's an indication, oh to be in that market.

Really nice, but waaay too much stuff to polish (I realise you would have a lady in to do that, but still - it would be a full time job)

And why do people insist on having 3,000 pillows on a bed, utterly stupid

This caught my eye at the weekend while looking for a new pad, unfortunately way out of budget

That really is quite horrific - it looks like a semi-converted boathouse. No style or flair, and you really couldn't design a less 'homely' and welcoming interior if you tried. 'Cold' is not a strong enough adjective for that.

Just as well we all don't like the same things though - would make the housing market somewhat horrific!

Indeed - love the municipal looking chain link fencing visible from the bathroom. That and the god awful artwork - I know you're not buying the artwork but what do people see in grotesque paintings of the human form?

Hugh Grants pad.

same old st interior design puked up by pathetic "designers" No class at all. All these houses seem to be furnished in the same way, Chrome balls, grey and silver furnishings . Pretentious art work etc .
No imagination at all .

Doesn't belong to Hugh Grant, did once.

think i'd rather have a well-sorted riad in the old town hidden behind an anonymous door, like everyone else.

Council fencing aside I think it looks fantastic from the outside and the location is spectacular. If I was a Bond villain I'd make some enquiries. I agree the interior is awful, ugly and bordering on unlivable, but that's quite easily sorted and nothing that'd deter me!

Meh...you can keep your boring townhouses - I'd rather have the magnificent palace

[Streetrod]

I would like this as a London crash pad, its a bit Tardis like, check out the brochure. It's a hell of a lot nicer that one of those silly flats at One Hyde Park

[clarkmagpie]

And they are the rooms shown, I imagine the others are in a worse state.
I want to see the dilapidated out buildings, can imagine they will be impressive still.

If I was working abroad and needed a bolt hole that was t necessarily was london I would consider that.
