That's a beauty. Love the floating staircase and the mid-century carpets.

I like it, but I can't work out whether the period style has been lovingly maintained, or if they just moved in during the 60s, never bothered doing any renovations and stayed their whole lives. I suspect the latter, as some of the built-in furniture looks knackered, and there's no way any sane person below the age of 80 could really live with that kitchen or bathroom.


Regardless, it's sitting on a v large plot of land for London, and I suspect that's why they're asking 2 million.

Size and location. It's an eyesore from the front but it's a mansion by ED standards.

Not sure about that... it's only 1580 sq ft. Some local terraced houses are a similar size after the usual extensions. It's different because it's detached and has a v large garden.


In fact I wonder if it's priced with a view to a developer knocking it down.

Yes it's the size of the land that really matters. The garden is enormous.

The owner who died last year was well into his 9O's and I guess he may well have been the first occupant. It must have been cutting edge design when it was built however the rooms are small and the windows are really pokey.


It is semi-detached which detracts from its value but (as a hobbyist and handyman) what I really like is the 35 foot garage. What couldn't one do with a space like that! Enough for both a car and a full blown workshop.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Labour was right not to increase fuel duty - it's not just motorists it affects, but goods transport. Fuel goes up, inflation goes up. Inflation will go up now anyway, and growth will stagnate, because businesses will pass the employee NIC hikes onto customers.  I think farms should be exempt from the 20% IHT. I don't know any rich famers, only ones who work their fingers to the bone. But it's in their blood and taking that, often multi-generation, legacy out of the family is heart-breaking. Many work to such low yields, and yet they'll often still bring a lamb to the vet, even if the fees are more than the lamb's life (or death) is worth. Food security should be made a top priority in this country. And, even tho the tax is only for farms over £1m, that's probably not much when you add it all up. I think every incentive should be given to young people who want to take up the mantle.
