I think there is an extra zero in the house price. Surely it’s not over £1m for that big standard house?

You obviously are not familiar with Belsize park prices.

Great location and I think it's a nice house, full of light and character internally. Externally I admit it's a bit ugly.

And I saw the ice cream cone straight away in photo 2 😂

SantanaBinLorry · 28/02/2025 08:44

Lovely Ice-cream 😍

But, fuck me; there's a HA house almost identical opposite me rented out for £400 a month. Our slightly bigger (private) semi is nearly £900 a month rent 😫 Housing in the UK is fucked. 1.4mil 🫠 I just can't...

Why? It's not actually a bad shape/sized house. Looks ex council so probably sturdy as fuck. Plenty of people would be/are happy with similar 🤷

SnoopySantaPaws · 28/02/2025 08:54

It's not even 9 am and I want ice cream now!!

1 million years ago, I used to live in Belsize Park, in a five story house (beautiful basement and four floors). Absolutely beautiful on the outside as well. I didn't own the house. (unfortunately) but if that place is worth what they've got it on for I hate to think what the house I lived in is worth now!!

Well, if you'd read the thread you'd know by now, but in photo two and 4 there is a giant ice cream cone!!

Of course it doesn't!!

For the majority of us, it would need a lot of money spent to update it, but it would be a perfectly solid house

Beyourownmasterpiece · 28/02/2025 08:58

Iv looked at it twice & didn't notice it , sorry if this offends you.

Newbie5652 · 28/02/2025 09:01

I love it. Shows their personality

A giant plastic ice cream and a crappy 3 bed for over £1mll

It looks like the council house is where I live awful!

You would bulldoze a property that was built in an era when housing was being built to last and replace it with a new build? Just because it's not pretty from the outside

OuterSpaceCadet · 28/02/2025 09:24

I'm staggered at the price, and I rent in an area I couldn't afford to buy in, on the other side of London. I thought my area was ridiculous but this makes it look reasonable!!

That aside I love how they've done it. They look like arty creative people who've really enjoyed living there.

RightOnTheEdge · 28/02/2025 09:27

Oh! I thought I was losing my mind there. I couldn't see the ice cream anywhere in photo 2 until I eventually clicked on it 😆

It's really nice inside. I like it. The price is absolutely mind blowing though to someone who lives in a HA house in the north Shock

nearly one and half!!

Fuck that for a 3 bed terrace!!

BillStickersWillBeProsocuted · 28/02/2025 09:31

You'd think for £1.4M they would get rid of those weeds on the terrace!

TheMorels · 28/02/2025 09:31

I missed the joy and judged the clutter.

VivaLaSpag · 28/02/2025 09:35

I actually think it represents very good value for Belsize Park 🫣 Also from the outside it reminds me of some of the span houses so it would be interesting to know who the architect is was-presumably a mid century build anyway.
Great proportions and sq ft!

Dutchhouse14 · 28/02/2025 09:37

I had to look hard for the ice cream cone, I think it looks very welcoming and cosy, clearly a much loved family home, somewhere you'd feel really comfortable visiting.
Price is for location not house.
I suspect it will become bland and styled within an inch of its life when it is inevitably developed.

On my street the privately rented houses can go for £4,000 - and I know one neighbour paying the council £400.

Absolutely wild.

£1m a pretty ordinary price for a three bed in London now.

Insane.

senua · 28/02/2025 09:43

I've just noticed that, in picture 3, the brown sofa is sitting on those riser things that your Nana has under her chair to make it higher.
I'm not keen on the interior decoration. It feels very student-y for a £1.4m house.

theressomanytinafeysicouldbe · 28/02/2025 09:47

It looks like one of our local council houses from the outside, the inside gave me a headache!

But at least their agent will tell them it has gathered a lot of interest due to the online views this week 😂

NoBiscuitsLeftInMyTin · 28/02/2025 09:48

Oh - an ICE CREAM - I thought it was a giant fleshlight.

Meanwhile £1.4M in Yorkshire....
