I call custard on it being Ronaldo's gaff, any house he lives in would have hundreds more mirrors than that.
Here's where he is now.

Could we agree on 'entirely devoid of architectural merit' perhaps?

I’m sure we can

Love this, ludicrous London price and some questionable interior design decisions, but a great location for me. Price reduced, so who knows, maybe there’s a lot more to come.

A handsome looking house but I couldn't imagine spending a tad under £4 million to be overlooked on all sides!

London though, innit, maybe you have to spend double that!

It's OK, but it's a bit like the sort of boring bland house you would have drawn when you were 5 years old. As for the price tag like most properties in the nicer parts of London it's absolutely utterly stupid in absolute terms, but that's what they cost. Financially you will always make more on property in London, but there's quality of life too and I'd much rather something for half the price near York for instance... that would buy you a really nice place with lots of land and you could enjoy living there a lot more than in that Hampstead house .... but each to their own!

Im not understanding the quality of life statement.

If you can afford £4million... its not your only money and as such you still have a great quality of life. Enjoy living in more in York over London, only if you like going to the dales... I dont believe York can offer more in entertainment over anything in London.

£1,300 per sq ft is toppy for the fringes of the suburb/Golders Green, as opposed to Hampstead proper. Nice enough place but you can find nicer for less around there though this one is right opposite the heath extension which possibly commands some premium.

Yeah, I guess it depends what you like doing. We looked at a place just outside York last year.... 3 acres, 6 bedroom house, 2 bedroom cottage and a ruined castle in the grounds for less than a million, it was too far away to sensibly work for us sadly, but not having neighbours overlooking you and land aplenty with beautiful countryside and the nicest city in England 5 miles away is my idea of a perfect life. Living in London isn't especially when you factor in the cost of housing.

It is a bit toppy but I’ve been keeping an eye on the area for the last 18 months with the expectation that there’d be bargains a plenty as Brexit neared. This is probably the first one in that price bracket that piqued my interest.

I’m not sure you’d get a garden (backing into the Heath Ext) for anything close to £1,300/sq ft in Hampstead proper.

What put me off the most here was Hampstead Way, which is a pretty busy road that I’d imagine causes a bit of noise in the house and garden.

Hampstead Way traffic tends to be worse towards the Meadway end rather than the Wellgarth end, but it can still back up during term time in rush hour at that end. Same is true of many roads in NW London though to be fair, given the proliferation of schools in the area so that wouldn't worry me.

The thing that might put me off that house is the cars coming down Hampstead Way will be shining their headlights straight into the house before the road bends to the right. If you're interested then visit it after dusk when there's still plenty of cars around and see how bad that aspect is.

It's funny, I run past it a couple of times a week in the dark and that thought never struck m, I'll have to check it out. Cheers!

It's a bit of a mix of styles in places, but I can see a really nice family home here:

that's lovely. Would like a look around the ultra modern place next door too.... which you can see in some of the photos.

I wouldn't deal with any estate agent that can't spell 'suburb' correctly.

That's nice. Was on for £2,250K last month...

Did they run out of money with the bedrooms?

[Bonefish Blues]

Yes, could move straight into that.
