£750k to live over other people's garages!

[sarahb083]

I can't imagine a less appealing 'detached' house - £750k for a leasehold which is essentially a flat over 3 other people's garages! Winchester house prices are high but this seems insane.

Awful. And such small windows in the kitchen diner and bedrooms - so gloomy and makes me think of a prison cell!

I've seen these before, and it seems madness to have a flat over garages like that. I wonder how popular they are?

It must be really awkward for furniture too with all those sloping walls. Nowhere for bookcases etc!

It's also right next to the train line.

Awful! And would be really cold as well.

I expect the location is fantastic from what the spec says although I don't know the area. I don't mind it at all, size is good and good quality appliances. I've seen a lot less for more.

I like that floating basin in the bathroom.

I really like it, but obviously its a lot of money.

I wonder if they built it to sell or if it was something like accommodation for a nanny or a stepping stone to independent living for older teenagers/young adult offspring.

I'd rather be over garages than over another flat with people and noise in!

Well that's what a mews is 😁Looks nice enough (albeit too gray for my liking).

Insane. Looks so oppressive, and right next to the railway line too. Horrible.

I’ve had an attic flat and they can be brilliant, I’ve never felt safer than I did when I lived there. It was really cosy and no problem at all finding furniture to fit.

But this looks oppressive. Like a very stylish version of an attic that some weirdo keeps people in in a horror film.

That's someone's granny annex surely?!

Madness!

“Mews” 😬😂
Estate agents in the UK are poets ha ha

Not even that, it's a flat above a garage 🤣

Might be a granny flat, but it's more than 50% bigger than my house 😔

As a flat I quite like it but the price is objectively ridiculous.

funny I saw this yesterday on right move then saw this post just now and thought of this place!

And guess what colour it mostly is? Grey of course.

There are barely any views out of the windows.

I did look at a couple of properties in this style (coach house I think it was called) when I was a FTBer; as an alternative to a traditional flat I think it's much better. Not £750k though :D

Bloody hell you can get something way nicer around here for less

This is also hideous

We liked it

That’s not a mews! That description of a ‘mews’ is, as another poster said, estate agent BS. These are proper mews (old converted stables usually).
