Bit of a quirky house in Hampstead…

[Alfreddoeblin]

Do the owners just like books or is this an attempt at a Tracey Emin unmade bed art installation look with random books piled up instead.

Did I read that price right?! 22 and a half million?! I knew London house prices were high but omg....

The best I can do locally is chicken feed compared to the OP...

There is nothing in the whole of south wales for that price

This. I'm not a fan of it to be honest.

Some nice art work . The books have been curated to death which only makes me despise the owners who think it’s ok to treat books like that. The communal garden could be a blessing or a curse, probably a curse. And while I am at it that enormous bath is ridiculous unless you are offering to bathe your kids footie team.

Is the price definitely not a typo?!?

Love the house though, would love to know who lives there.

I think it's gorgeous.

It's Swiss Cottage by another name not SJW and definitely NOT Hampstead. We north Londoners know the difference😂

For £22Mil they could at least have jetwashed the patio. The coffee table says 'not we don't own a cat, or a dog with a waggy tail'. Also
"no children allowed to visit, ever" .

Round the corner for a mere £3Mill more you can get this which at least has it's own direct access to Primrose Hill, a proper garden and a pool. Very different vibe though.

Interesting!

The house has a lot of expensive artwork on its walls from Gilbert & George to aTracey Emin neon sculpture.

As a Londoner I must say I don't think this is worth £22 million!

If I had that amount of money I would buy a period property with land and stables outside London. Not this.

Beyond the art which I quite like, It feels rather cold and has no character.

That’s gorgeous!

Anyone who spends £22mil on a house, especially one like that, is an absolute idiot and has more money than sense.

I like this one! I squawked at the photo of it all lit up though. The cost...

It's absolutely gorgeous, I think.

Love the quirky bits and in love with that metal/glass internal wall/door from kitchen to diner.

If this doesn't prove how bonkers London prices are, nothing will!

I think I'd rather have this one - it actually is in Hampstead and I'd have £1m left over for renovations https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/146960567#/?channel=RES_BUY

Beautiful house apart from the plastic grass. I couldn't afford the original art works never mind the house.

I doubt anyone who can afford a £22 million pound house cares what someone on Mumsnet thinks.

That thing is going to give me nightmares.

£22m and no private garden! 😮

Not mad on the decor apart from the Julian Opie art and the kitchen!

I'm going to guess the black hole is an Anish Kapoor. Could the owners kindly jump on here and give us the answers please?

I haven't spotted the Emin. I concur that could be Tony Cragg in the garden. I like this game.

Also a Donald Judd. I’d love to have a look around. The books are probably an artwork, no?

Nice spot! Is that the red box on the wall in pic 9? I know that is deffo someone. Was bugging me.

Yes. I'm pretty sure though it could be an imposter of course!
