Literally a castle (Scotland!!)

West Sussex

Not the exact 1.65 but close. This house which will be great when it's finished !! www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/111342461#/?channel=RES_BUY

Or a 3 bed apartment in this www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/71553906#/?channel=RES_BUY

I'll take it

Imagine all the cleaning.

Wow that's an amazing house

SW London zone 2/3, that buys you a 4/5 bed Victorian terrace with small garden. Possibly would have loft and side return extensions done for that, possibly not depending on exactly which area and catchments etc.

£1.65m near me

Not much. The first five entries on RightMove are not in particularly nice roads and this one is opposite a noisy primary school. Shocking prices.

Actually that property is right next to the school, so super noisy and not very private. It really didn't look like it was worth that much when I picked up my DCs, but it looks amazing inside now.

Basic Victorian terrace with loft conversion and patio garden

2 bedroom period conversion flat in South Kensington

10 bedroom detached with a 'mud room' that's twice the size of an average bedroom, plus £150k to spare.

Boundstone Road, Farnham
www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/113527118 but I’d far rather buy the house in Carmarthen that was posted earlier. Not that my budget is anything like this high!

This comes in under budget, but I'm in love with this house, especially the garden:

@Chasingsquirrels I think I look at similar RightMove settings to you!

If you can eek your budget out to £1.75m, I rather like this one:

Or if you want to be in Cambridge, this is the same money:

Utter madness!

I don't even want to move anymore, late-DH and I were passively looking to for somewhere together that was ours instead of mine.
I'm happy where I am, I don't know why I still look at Rightmove on such a regular basis!

And I'm not, and have never been, in that price bracket anyway.

Maybe the same reason my £ slider goes way beyond anything I'll ever afford! Love to dream!

Not much that costs that much near me. But would get you a luxury 4-5 bed/3 bath right on the sea front with a pool. Beautiful miles of sand. 20 minute drive to the CBD. And 40 minutes to wine region.
But that’s Australia

11 houses in my street west Yorkshire 2 bed 1940's semis

£1.65m would buy most of my town!
Same here. In my mums area you'd possibly get something that was nearly a mansion but not quite. A tiny 4 bed around there costs over half a million euro and when they come to visit us we get lots of rich comments (we live in quite a plush 3 bed bungalow on half an acre that cost us less than 150k euro)

www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/105563336#/?channel=RES_BUY This is the only option above the £1.5m bracket in my county.

My dream home. Well ideally I'd like to be further up the tower but at least this one has the right aspect.

I can keep dreaming.

Nice house in a nice area but I think that's an eye watering amount of money for it:

www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/113489390#/?channel=RES_BUY

Probably a nice done up country cottage with garage and decent gardens. Edge of the Cotswolds.

@The4ks

www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/108201668?utm_campaign=property-details&utm_content=buying&utm_medium=sharing&utm_source=copytoclipboard#/&channel=RES_BUY This is the most expensive property within 20 miles of me. Most expensive in my town is a 6 bedroom detached with an outdoor (in North East Scotland!) swimming pool for £625,000!

Do they do competitive ski jumping on that roof in winter?

In my area a few streets away a small detached property sold for £1.275 million aporox 3 years ago. It’s on the street my parents live in and they were shocked by this price. But it’d been done up, but extended and loft conversion before and was a wreck before to make the money. It is a very popular street for young families though.
