Wow I love it. I could live like that if I were a millionaire.

FrenchFancie · 29/11/2018 14:52

Too much black!
And the garden is just that wee patio bit. Tbh it would suite me, that garden, as I hate hate hate gardening with a passion....

youngestisapsycho · 29/11/2018 14:53

Perfect size garden for me!

Caprisunorange · 29/11/2018 14:53

What do you mean where is the garden? There are pictures of it, patio’d over

memoriestwilight · 29/11/2018 14:53

They've obviously extended and eaten into the garden.

Cuzcothellama · 29/11/2018 14:54

Teeny courtyard garden! Obviously someone lives there who isn't bothered about a garden. I'm not a fan of all the black / grey, although the house is big & light enough to take it.

DoingMyBest2010 · 29/11/2018 14:54

there is was a garden, it's just paved over :-)

Caprisunorange · 29/11/2018 14:55

Also it’s on the floor plan Grin 26*22ft ish

EachandEveryone · 29/11/2018 14:56

It's not much garden for the money!

I'd use my imaginary lottery win for something like this instead

It’s a low maintenance party garden, rather than a gardener’s or family garden. As for the size, it fairly normal to get a postage stamp sized garden in London (lots of cities, tbf).

sollyfromsurrey · 29/11/2018 15:03

If you can afford a £5m house, you can afford to pay someone to clean the windows.

Meh, lots of people don't hanker after a garden. It's like saying 'but where's the Jacuzzi' or 'where's the home cinema'. Lots of people don't rate those things.

flumpybear · 29/11/2018 15:05

@FreakForHummous - lovely!! But then stopped dead at the mirrors above baths .... really who would do that .... then I saw the duck house and realised it must be a politicians house who charges to his expenses Wink

wowfudge · 29/11/2018 15:07

If you had the money for that house, you'd be paying someone else to clean the glass. That crittal wall alone will have cost a fortune. Love the stainless steel island.

InfantaSybilla · 29/11/2018 15:07

I rather like the decor but for £5m I wouldn't want to be semi-detached (!)

skintbutok · 29/11/2018 15:09

It would be easy to decorate, two tins of paint for the whole house.

RiverTam · 29/11/2018 15:10

very usual for a lot of London houses to have very little garden - and more and more people are extending into what little garden they do have. I know of 2 families with 3 kids each who have tiny gardens, I just don't get it.

We are very lucky in that we are in inner London (zone 2) with a 70 foot garden. I love seeing my garden every day, I think people underestimate the value of being able to see greenery and plants and wildlife.

EachandEveryone · 29/11/2018 15:11

I like this garden but the decor is too much for me www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-55505628.html

It has a 29' rear patio. We could cram about 40 of those in our back garden.

Caprisunorange · 29/11/2018 15:27

I do think it’s pretty overpriced, but I grew up in central London with a small garden like that. Ime Full old houses will always have a garden- if it’s divided into flats or maisonettes obviously only the ground floor will have the garden.

Nesssie · 29/11/2018 15:27

I love the glass but would very quickly get fed up of rubbing dirty fingerprints off it.
