Its not bad but the snooker room looks like a WMC snooker room.

City centre brand new mansion, anyone?

I'm not sure if the 4,25 million refers to the price tag or the number of striped upholstery patterns in the house.

I'm surprised there weren't more very expensive properties but maybe no-one's in a moving mood.

Sorry, forgot to tick the links box again.

Oh I love this! It is difficult for me to find out as Italian estate agents are more secretive than the kgb!

Like the outside - not keen on the inside, especially the weirdy columns holding up the beams.

£13 million? For that?? Really?!

Surely that's a typo?

I mean £3m would get you this

It's horrible :(

Wow!

I prefer this one though.

Oh Portofino I am totally in love with the second house!

A very reasonable £1.5m for a house that was featured on Grand Designs a couple of years ago. Truly beautiful.

How about £75million for an unmodernised property... yes really

What a bargain, I'll take two please...

Just 4.5 million

Mrs Huxtable, we must be neighbours

Here this is more of a bargin but it does only have a 20 metre (68') garden

St John's Wood £36m

here

Small cheese compared to the UK ones, and the photos are useless.

If I cheat a bit and extend the distance to 25km, I can count this though. I quite fancy that driveway up to the house...wouldn't say no to the pool, either.

Have to say I am stunned at how many of the expensive houses in the UK are utterly, utterly tasteless.

Shakey I just changed my distance to 20 miles and got that one! The price must be because of the amount of land and the location.

Well, someone had to google it :)

The most expensive house in the world. Mind you, what with house prices dropping you could probably knock 10% off if it were for sale.

Mind you're eyes though, it's a shocker

Apologies, your, not you're

Not shakey, Chuffmuffin

this is only 2 million but the most expensive in a 10 mile radius

www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-31543171.html

the most expensive in my postcode was "only" 550,000. I must live in a cheap area!

20 miles from me 21 million. nice though.
