Amazing house or weird monstrosity?

I saw this on Rightmove. Do you think it's an amazing house, that you'd love, or just weird and unlivable in?
I'm in the first camp, I think it's gorgeous. I'd love to live in a Christopher Wren designed tower.
But I also think that even in an active market, this could be quite a hard one to sell, because it's so unusual. And I think there is a fairly small pool of potential purchasers (esp. at that price!)
What do you think?

...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

Did the EA/Photographer have a staircase fetish?? Lots of pics of staircases
I am in the first camp too, I kinda like it.0 -
Stunning, but then I never go for the conventional! Unfortunately I could not live there - whilst I love the old staircase, new open spiral staircases would mean I would be stuck to the ground floor!
The location is not for me either, but I suppose if you want to be that central it would be perfect ... and if you can afford that much, I imagine you could afford a little country bolthole also!Gone ... or have I?0 -
wow!
Can't say much for the view though, pic on bottom right!!
Think how much money you would save and gym fees with ten floors to walk up and down! Would be a bit of a !!!!!! of you left your keys upstairs!

Probably because it has got lots of staircases - it's a tower."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0 -
Can't make up my mind from the pictures, I love the idea, but I'd really have to see it "in the flesh" so to speak.Hope for the best.....Plan for the worst!

Beautiful but I wouldn't want to live in it - 10 floors - can you imagine being on the top floor and realising you'd just left what you needed on the bottom floor. The stairs would worry me with our kids, and I'm afraid central London is not a place I'd ever want to live. Realistically its looking for someone that wants style over family living which isn't me! I like the fact that we have all manner of wildlife and fauna in our garden and the countryside is behind the houses on the other side of the road.Adventure before Dementia!0

Lovely building, shame about the monstrous office block next door presumably with views over all of your windows.
My mum would love it, and would want to enter a bidding war with you NDG but it would cost a fortune for her to have all the Stannah stair lifts fitted...Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

10 Floors! Now where did I leave my glasses? !!!!0

i could think of a much nicer house to buy with loads and loads of change. i'd be shattered from up and down the stairs. not really a family home. i think it more of a status symbol house rather than a home. so i guess i'm in the wierd house group.0

Imagine the heating bill for that !!! :eek:0
