Is this the most bizarre house ever?

How do they live there? There are only two normal rooms! The un-kitchen. The room with a bath in it. Bonkers.

The bath in the bedroom is a bit weird, although the floorplan shows a shower in the bathroom. The distribution of space is a bit off though. But it doesn't compete with the bizarre flat I saw online a while back where they appeared to have put a boiler and washing machine in the dining room, and to have turned the tiny loo into a 'wet room' by having the shower with a drain in the floor and no sign of any tiling etc. The home report came complete with a quote to fix the rising damp and rot as they hadn't lined it properly

£625,000......for a small terraced house....struth...having a laugh arent they!!

It's in London. The price is hardly a surprise.

Not the most bizarre at all - but a good example of poor re-design.

Soup it's a surprise if you don't live in London or have a familiarity with the London property market.

That's an obscene price for a cramped three bedroom house with a tiny garden.

re the kitchen, I kind of get what they are trying to do, having a wall as your entire kitchen seems to be in vogue but normally they have an island thinybob and a dining table,

This is what the posh people are doingwww.notcot.com/archives/2007/10/porsche-design-2.php

The one in this house isn't what the posh people are doing.....

Soup it's a surprise if you don't live in London or have a familiarity with the London property market.

It shouldn't be. You don't need that much of a familiarity. I know nothing about the New York property market but I can work out that it is far more expensive than, say, some town in the middle of nowhere.

That's an obscene price for a cramped three bedroom house with a tiny garden.

Not for London.

where is the oven?

The rest of it is ok, looks a bit like an Annie Sloane paint advert

Isn't this the same house before its makeover? Sold for £235k in Jan 2010.

I liked it better before! Some nice original features.

Loads of potential before looks like rich students live there now.

They certainly fell in love with grey paint. For years I've wondered what it actually looks like when so often recommended on MN. Bloody awful.

I agree with Devora, the new version is meh, the older version sooo much better and could have been renovated sympathetically.

I cannot focus on the pictures. I'm in shock over the price.

Seriously though, who thinks, "I know, we'll just stick a bath in the bedroom!"? Even if you really, really like having baths, you'd think how hard it would make the place to sell, wouldn't you?

It doesn't do it for me really but it isn't weird. The only word thing about it isn't the price -625k!

It'd be £120k round here, maybe 130k if you threw in all the ikea tat.

They're definitely being a wee bit ambitious with the price .

The wood fireplace was such a beautiful original feature, I hope it was salvaged.

Having looked at this again I think it looks like a holiday cottage - it doesn't look like a practical family home and I don't think there is an oven: just a hob. Such a shame they removed picture rails. Still not as bizarre as the Brighton flat.

It made £40,000 in 3 months between 2009 and 2010.

Oh, it looked so sweet before - dated, but with potential.

What's the weird double radiator thing in picture 12?

The house on the same street which sold last November was much nicer.

I don't think it's the weirdest house I've ever seen. The teeny kitchenette when there would have been space for a better kitchen was a poor choice in terms of resale-ability.

The bath in a bedroom - well, I have seen that sort of thing in ultra-trendy penthouse/loft apartments, it's meant to be like a suite in a hip hotel, but it's strange in a bedroom that's scarely big enough for a double bed and some storage.

Calling a cupboard less than 6m2 a bedroom should be considered really strange, but isn't, sadly.

I wondered about the double radiator too. I suspect they've done a lot of the work themselves without a clue researching thoroughly.
