Why do you think this hasn’t sold?

[MeMyselfandIsland]

I know it’s usually price but this seems v reasonable for the area?

only issue I can see is bedrooms maybe being small/strange shapes?

I think I’m in love with it 😂not that it’s in my current budget

@Chewbecca £30 return to Finsbury Park?

Why? That's a two bed to one bathroom ratio which is fairly good, surely.

Yes, lots of furniture but not cluttered just relentlessly repetitive same same. Like a slightly fuller show house

Because they have ruined a really lovely old house, it’s just done badly.

It's£42.50 to KX at peak times. Plus tube needed for most travellers so it's actually over £50pd.

It's had all the character interior-designed out of it. Soulless.

Not really, £26

Too much wood. Fire hazard

@Chewbecca is that a lot? What would it be in say Hertfordshire so a little closer?

Well it’s not commuter belt, it’s like Cambridge

I actually like the old/ new architecture- it’s quite cool. Things that would put me off are bedroom size, too many rooms off other rooms and not so much number of bathrooms as position of the only shared bathroom relative to the four bedrooms that are sharing it ( because two en suites). Also why do people put bars in their houses?

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that!

For me there's not enough bathrooms upstairs.

The only one (apart from en-suite) is right down that long corridor.

It’s the cow painting that really confirms this for me!

Yes, £50pd is a lot! For a couple you could be spending nearly £2k pm.

Say Ware in Herts as a (nicer) comparator - £21pd. Also goes into Liverpool Street so it's less likely tube needed (saving time and cost).

I agree, OP suggested it would be of interest to London commuters.

It's nice but missing something. It's almost too inoffensive. Bland. And not enough photos for such a large property. What rooms are bring hidden!

Oh you mean the 200 quid Steven brown print. You must shop in a whole different b&m to me 😂

edited for the right size.

I think it is commuter. The trains are always full after Sandy/Biggleswade.

Ware is a lovely area but a lot less house for the money vs Sandy

It’s just become so cliched that it’s become a bit nothing-y, in my opinion.

It’s in the middle of nowhere
The modern extension is ugly and incongruous with the original cottage
The extension, despite apparently being new has low ceilings and small rooms
Country properties take a while to sell particularly in difficult markets.

Lots of high price houses aren’t shifting due to the interest rates

For the price it’s a very odd layout. You’d basically end up living in the kitchen/diner and not bothering with the other reception rooms. Bastardinf expensive to heat. Tiny bedrooms for the size/price. Really odd upstairs layout with bathrooms away from 3 of the bedrooms. One tiny bedroom seemingly inside the master suite - why isn’t it a walk in wardrobe? Agree about the Hinch/B&M/ Range vibe, makes the rooms look even smaller. Soulless outside space.

I am out off by the lack of photos and rooms shown in the video.

I also find the property confusing in what it’s aiming to be. The outside and the entrance hall seem indicative of the price tag but the size of the rooms let it down - the master bedroom is the same size as my modest 4 bed and the kitchen dining area is only a bit bigger. At that price point I’m not even considering it if it doesn’t have a walk in wardrobe area!

There no scale on the rightmove map but it seems it’s right near the A1 which, for people who might like a ‘country’ style house, is really off putting.
The decor is very live love laugh, and it would take more money, time and effort than I could be bothered with to get rid of all the grey.

All the closest/catchment area secondary schools fall under "requires improvement" (ie bottom 15% of schools).
For people with £1m+ to spend, that would rule out this house.
