😭

When I picture a nearly £2m house - this isn't it

Just to rub salt in the wound even further - what does £1.7m get you in your neck of the woods?

Ooh I love that Topsham one @TiramisuThief I was going to say I bet there's no parking but there's a garage.

Beautiful house but interior colour choices wouldn't be to my taste @Imicola

I had to go quite far to get the same amount of money, I think it’s ugly though

A terraced house right next to a railway line, at that.

You can get this for just slightly more near me.

That's huge @ThianWinter - but strange chairs on the landing, surely nobody wants to sit on a landing?

7,000 sq ft Grade II listed in c.18 acres - 6 bedroom main dwelling and 2 bed cottage, plus outbuildings all in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape (former AONB)?

I haven't RTFT but I notice it was bought for £275 thousand in 1995. It looks as though whoever bought it did absolutely nothing to it for the last 30 years.

Sorry if somebody else has already made that point.

I wasn't expecting a doer upper for £1.7m.

This is what you can get for a similar amount around here. www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/152708279

It’s hard out here on the mean streets of N16. 😢

And wankerey photo angles too.

OMG OMG OMG *

I do like the stair carpet though.

I think that’s so tacky and soulless.a good example that money can’t buy taste I’d rather have the Enfield one in current state

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/154040795#/?channel=RES_BUY This is the closest price match. Lots of people here do one day a week in London and the rest wfh. If you get the early train you can be in central London by 9.30 comfortably. State schools all vg so no wasting your money on private….

It’s a tear down. Potential to build a new mega home worth 3x.

Yes there is always the possibility to go 20% or more over the offers over price, depending on the market. Not sure if that holds for the most expensive properties though, I've not yet needed to find out!

Blimey, that's a depressing house even without the price tag!

It would also get you this, which is pretty decent by comparison

Oooo, I always wanted to live in the grange! Used to live just outside of it and enjoyed walking through it to wonder at what went on behind the huge garden walls!

I'm confused as to why anyone would be surprised that a 6 bedroom, 3 bathroom detached house with a big garden in London is expensive. Even up north that house wouldn't be pennies.

Yes, it needs renovating. But it's massive. The land that it's sat on will be worth a fortune on its own, even if you tore the whole house down.

Where I live £1.7m would get you a 2500-3000 sq ft period famous architect built house with an indoor pool if you wanted. Likely 4 floors. Well-cared for, Farrow & Ball upped to the nines, swish curtains, beautiful fireplaces. Gated historic community, lots of period features and landmarks in the local area as well as in your own home. Tennis club around the corner. You could even buy a famous poet's house for half that.

You could have this for half the price in NI. Own pool too.

Near me it gets you a 6 bedroom house with an indoor pool and a bit of land. Rightmove link
