Beautiful house on rightmove...

NC because I've just text a friend about this.

I have a weird/nosy habit of looking at quirkily decorated houses on Rightmove Blush

I've just seen a stunningly beautiful house for sale and thought oh this is the type of house where xxxxx (celeb I admire) would live. So I scrolled through their twitter feed and it is their house!

It's been up for sale for a few months but the story isn't anywhere online. AIBU to tell you about it/post the link so we can all coo over it? Or is that an invasion of their privacy?

Wow! Could someone spot me £5mil? Those bookshelves! The gin! The bathtub! Just put them all together for me!

In my former life I worked at a major London auctioneers & in one particular sale sold him the bird. He had a very strange presence when he walked in the saleroom!

Proof if ever it was needed that the property market in and around London has completely lost the plot.
I actually like a number of the features and some of the decor, but the price tag and the market that supports it is just ridiculous.

I recognised Derren Brown's art straight away. I like the bookshelves and I quite like the roof terrace, but otherwise I really dislike the house. I hate sodding bare brick walls and exposed beams. That kitchen ceiling is horrible, and generally it's all far too cluttered for me. Not my taste at all.

shakeyourcaboose want a housemate? Just 2.5mill each sure Grin

Right up my street!

Just can't make the price!
Shame!

DailyMailWankers · 04/09/2018 19:52

claracluck78 Did he get a good price for it? I wonder if he could hypnotise rival bidders.

Can people not read??? The floorplan shows 3 bedrooms, plus a studio that could easily be a 4th.

Bit too kooky for me but the building and location is amazing!

Unihorn · 04/09/2018 20:05

Is the London house market not so fucking ridiculous that someone needs to step in and end the madness?! I cannot see how people can justify these prices Shock

HettySunshine · 04/09/2018 20:05

I absolutely love the style but god, why live in London?!

For less money than that within 5 miles of me you could have this one and still have 500k left over to stop it looking like a footballer's house.

I totally agree. Here's one not far from me!

It's not my cup of tea as a whole, but I love the kitchen and the green bedroom.

I loathe the identikit houses straight out of the Next catalogue where everything is black/white/grey. Horrid and totally devoid of personality.

alphajuliet123 · 04/09/2018 20:15

I love the bedroom and there are some great features, but it's generally too cluttered for me.

LOL at the price though, daft Londoners! Here's one near me:

Ooo unihorn, I prefer yours to mine (it's not mine!).

A small London house in the city centre - or practically Hogwarts in Scotland.

I was more thinking wow this is DB's house than is this house good value for money Grin

Wow indeed! Love DB, and yes his house looks just like him!

bobstersmum · 04/09/2018 20:22

I love him!

Unihorn · 04/09/2018 20:24

@HettySunshine
Grin And it's not mine sadly, if only! Imagine living in a mini Downtown Abbey.

MrsPworkingmummy · 04/09/2018 20:25

I absolutely love it x

HermioneKipper · 04/09/2018 20:25

Gosh I love it! Need a lottery win!!

cardibach · 04/09/2018 20:26

I don’t much like him and it turns out I don’t like his house either! Cluttered and busy and not at all restful. Also very small for that huge price tag.
