    Why are you disgusted about someone else selling a house? Get a grip! If someone wants to buy it they will.
    The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

    I quite like it. There are a few things I'd change, but not many.

    £13m though? Hmmm...

    simples - the politics of envy, they can't afford and know that, so they denigate it instead

    It's fantastic. I'd buy it in a heartbeat, if I had the money that is. The level of jealousy from the OP is giving me the giggles.

    A nice big house in a very nice location. I guess interiors is a personal preference. Personally I don't like the interiors-but then I haven't been living in the property for over 10 years and made it my home.

    That eerie picutre of Kate Moss as Myra is just spooky/scary. I guess money cannot buy you taste?! Only my humble opinion folks.

    Outrageous! And they've made 11 MILLION POUNDS in just 13 years on taste as bad as theirs!:(

    how do you know? (i) the offer may not be at asking price and (ii) they may have spent a lot of money on it. how do you know, for instance, that they didn't build a swimming pool where there wasn't one before etc etc.

    Not my idea of nice, inside or out, but I don't quite see why you're disgusted, if someone else does like it
    ...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'.

    People who tend to live in areas like Kingston when they buy a house, they tend to get the builders in immediately and move in when it's been redecorated to their taste.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    What a gorgeous house in a fantastic setting. Quite clearly a lot of money has been spent the attention to detail in the decor is amazing. The pool extension is a very well done addition, as is the conservatory. Not surprised it is already on offer.
