House untouched since 1956

From the Evening Standard. I love the kitchen and the staircase! What a find. I would absolutely buy this if I had the cash.

Horrible

8 MILLION POUNDS 😱

Obviously location but that still feels like an insane amount of money.

@TwotootoI agree huge money but it’s priced on the plot size, as a development site. Really interesting and cute though especially the kitchen.

It’s priced as highly because it’s in a prime Chelsea location. There’s nothing in the listing to suggest it’s ripe for being replaced with flats. It’s a beautiful architectural style and there are a few roads with these kinds of houses in Chelsea. It’ll be snapped up - not just a huge plot but sizeable floor space!

Wow! Thank you for sharing that.

Mid-century furniture nuts, of which there are many, will be swooning over that. I wonder if it might get Listed? I hope whoever buys it decorates and furnishes it sympathetically and doesn’t destroy the kitchen. It could so cool.

I bought a house that was untouched since 1952. Sadly that meant completely untouched, as in no maintenance of any kind. We had to have it gutted before the electrics took it out... and new roof, new everything!

Not many houses for sale are listed for the same price as purchased for?!

It will cost loads to get the wiring, plumbing and insulation up to reasonable standards.
It will be demolished and 3 three storey townhouses built and sold for 6 mill each.

Oh what a wonderful kitchen. So sad that it will all be destroyed. I am finding the stairs terrifying, always hated the ones that are just floating, not solid.
