Over £5 million for a terrace in London.

It is beautiful but £5 million!

What 🤣🤣 that house has got a superiority complex for sure. Front door straight into living room! Awful. I’d have to put some walls back in and get rid of all the beige.

Horrid. Absolutely stripped of any original features or character. A travesty.

Someone got carried away with their pottery night school class.

I would say it is overpriced.

I never rest with the posh house threads until I have seen the ubiquitous Aesop soap by a sink somewhere. Pass the dabber! ✅

I live in North London. I think that it is vanishingly unlikely that a person with the type of money to afford that house would not have a car, unless they were an extremely principled environmentalist.

Car ownership in London is indeed lower overall but the figures are skewed by the large numbers of people who earn very little money and young people not needing cars as public transport is so good. Families and middle aged people who can afford cars have cars.

PS it’s hideous and way over priced. That wood is awful.

It feels like a very luxurious and lovely air bnb. Beautifully styled and I'd love to spend time there, but there are issues with it as a permanent home. The lower ground bedroom would be a problem for many people and the front door straight into living room is something you shouldn't have to deal with at that price! I think it's been excessively priced because of the styling

Ha ha that’s funny, I always roll my eyes whenever I see it in the downstairs bathroom of people I visit, so pretentious.

I'm more concerned by the lack of support structure. There's an RSJ in the lounge but a lot of it seems to be floating!

It looks like it's been done up professionally for someone who doesn't actually live there much.

Those urns are hideous.

Wonder who's selling. Famous?

They are 'avin' a giraffe. NW6?!

If I was spending £1.2m on a house in London I could manage without my own drive but if I’m stumping up £5m my gast would be flabbered to be told it didn't come with a driveway.

I looked at the house again this morning and definitely do not like it.

The putting the bath in a bedroom is straight out of a country house / boutique hotel playbook. But those are places to stay temporarily, not to live, and the appeal is that the idea is novel. The en-suite in the principal bedroom does not have a door. And the taps in the bathroom are separated hot and cold, a pet dislike of mine.

And the weird bunkbed situation in the hallway is clever but not terribly practical. Anyone sleeping there would be disturbed by light and noise as the only barrier between the beds and the rest of the hallway is a curtain. Where is the person supposed to keep their clothes? There is no cupboard or chest of drawers.

The bedroom in the lower ground floor strikes me as somewhere a live-in staff member would sleep but there is no sitting room or kitchen facility on that floor so I am not sure how much it would appeal. And the so-called 'gym' on the top floor is just a place to lift weights for upper body strength as there are no other gym facilities there.

And the lack of parking? Not terribly practical. Yes, I know the statistics about car ownership in London but drill further down into the statistics and I am sure that the higher up the socio-economic status a household is, the more likely they are to own a car.

And there are urns everywhere.

£5mill to be overlooked at the back? Also not sure of access to the rear via laneway/alley, that's another no from me if none.

If I won the lottery it would be a nice place to have for sure, but without sounding envious or dismissive, I am sure there are other very nice properties in good fashionable areas of London for a similar (or lower) price. I wonder who it is marketed at?

It's over decorated but interesting. Price I have no idea as don't know the area. Around me very average three bed terraces go for over £1.2m, and you can pay up to £2.5m for a two bed flat at the posher end. Zone 3.

It is very over priced.

at a rough calculation they are trying for double the square meter price of similar houses around us which while slightly less chi chi is better located and connected.

even allowing for queen park being a more expensive area at a guess it’s over priced by about £1m

would like to see what similar houses on the street have sold for with their layout so the comparable square meter price is knowable.

i think whoever owns it has spent too much doing it up and wrongly assumes they can charge a premium for their ‘taste’

Has the world gone mad? It's a terraced house. Just a nice terraced house. Equally nice homes exist in other vibrant cities for a fraction of the cost.

House flippers ? Yes, you are right. Good tax free income if you can get it. Owner worked at some stage for a known brand that has restaurants, private clubs and a home store. I live further down and I heard the development has been a nightmare for thar part of the street ! Disrespectful owners and builders in a rush to get it finished
Design seems a bit one speed for me. No way in the creation of 🐱 will they get this price .

Ha ha ha I thought I’d check the full description to see where the gym was and it is indeed in a shed (aka “the ancillary accommodation at the end of the garden” 😂)

But there is also this utterly hilarious bit of pseudery:

The current owners have created characterful interiors that channel the classic aesthetic of rustic minimalism, filtered through an avant-garde perspective on design principles originating in the Maghreb region of North-Western Africa. This has resulted in a bohemian chic that’s subtle and distinctly pragmatic.

You'd have to be on the sauce 9 - 5 to come up with that sort of nonsense.

“Distinctly pragmatic”
As in very handy to have 12 massive clay pots taking up shelf space in your dining room because maybe a Roman woman will call by and need to fetch water from the river?

Or is it “pragmatic” to have a bath in your bedroom because your elderly husband can just have a piss in there when he wakes for the 4th time in the night?

Or maybe bunk beds in the hall are pragmatic because…nope, nothing is coming to me…

I honestly had to just go a look up pragmatic just in case there was an alternative meaning that I wasn’t aware of. There isn’t.

What the heck?! The estate agent is having a laugh.
They are never going to get > 5 million for it.

Lovely house but seems overpriced for Queen’s Park. Maybe if it was further towards Notting Hill. I think the agent is expecting the interior design to do some heavy lifting here….
