Anyone got 4 mill to spare?

I’ve followed the owner on instagram for some time. This is an exceptional property and he’s been renovating one in Suffolk too.

I'd love one of those houses near the Spitalfields Hawksmoor church.

Not sure it is worth £4m, though.

Love it, but agree the photographer needs to focus more on the house and less on the current owner’s furniture (which does indeed look drab and uncomfortable).

With some warmer colours and some rugs, that house would look amazing. I love the panelling, and the light and windows.

£4m is what any period house of that size in Spitalfields is going to sell for - it would cost the same if not more in Islington.

Nigel Slater’s house is absolutely stunning. And much cosier looking!

My dream location.
Don't have the spare cash at the moment unfortunately.

You'd have to be mental to pay 4mil for that. It's horrid.

I wanted to love it. But I found it really unappealing.

I’m not sure why as generally I love rustic styling and period homes.

The whole place feels like one of those faux period pub chains. It’s not just the furniture because obvs that would be stripped out; it’s just the overall flow and design. And the fittings. There’s nothing at all that makes it look or feel like a home, and the layout is awful.

Also losing a big chunk of the tiny outside space to the “conservatory” seems like a terrible move. Makes it look even more like a pub beer garden 😂😂

This house has been used for filming on many occasions and I’d be amazed if it gets that price. We used to live in Spitalfields and got completely fed up with the noise and bad behaviour, not least men weeing on our front door.

The decor is ugly.

Convenient for my job though. I could have an easy commute.

However I resent how much anywhere to live in London costs. It's beyond ridiculous.

4 million property in the heart of London and they pay just fractionally more council tax than I do in a HA 3 bed semi up North !

Like some of the stuff though

Exactly this, plus it’s listed, even structural work will be a challenge.
the agent really didn’t showcase this house as a home.
depressing comes to mind.

I knew someone who lived in one of those houses many years ago, it was completely restored and I'd never seen anything like it.

This was before spitalfields was completely gentrified, but it still seemed impossibly posh and unreal.

Be lovely for a holiday but like a museum if you lived there full time.

I like it but for £4 million I wouldn’t want a house that has a toilet off the kitchen or bedrooms on different floors to toilets.

It's a beautiful house, full of history in a really vibrant area. Decor can be changed. I'd love to live here!

Location might be great, but the house looks like a historical recreation not somewhere you would live.

Gosh I hate it. That drab cluttered kitchen especially.

I like the room that looks like a pub. The rest of it...nah.

It’s absolutely gorgeous, although if I had 4m I wouldn’t live in Spitalfields, many other more civilised places in London

Yuck

It's like a national trust

I agree. I’d hate to live there. So much of it is so grotty.

It's beautiful 😍

Basement kitchen and no toilets on the ground floor or first floor.

Photos as if taken for an interior design mag not house sale.

I don't mind it. I don't dislike it. But it feels very staged and even if I did have that much money, I'd be cynical I was paying for 'a look'. I prefer a blank canvas.

Someone will lap it up.

That area is my lottery win fantasy, and those Dutch weaver houses are perfection

It looks like a period museum and not a home.

I was waiting for the Amish re-enactors to appear.

Looks very impractical for actually living in.

It's just too too precious for words. You couldn't live there.
