If you look at floorplan 1, seems every reception room needs its own kitchen!
Amazing views.

Personally, as a single person, I'd like three. Two is probably what I'll end up with though.
That place was obviously built as some kind of hotel/serviced suites/bedsits/HMO/student let place, or maybe flats. Floorplans are too small to see on my tiny screen.0 -
And how many front doors?
They don't seem to be that keen on landscaping and gardening, do they?0 -
Baffling number of kitchens indeed.
Could it perhaps be a deluxe retirement home of sorts for the super wealthy? A private kitchen for each inhabitant and for each of their private cooks/servants?
Otherwise it doesn't make any sense at all.0 -

What an ugly looking new build place! I can only assume the mutiple kitchens, bedrooms etc and the price tag of £6,500,000 :eek: is because it is near the film studios, and therefore is ideal for putting up or renting out to lots of people whils't they are working on a production. Indiana Jones anyone?:D

It looks like a prison hospital, maybe they have just photoshopped the bars off the windows!0

Looks like a school or a care home to me!Was a 40 a day smoker for 20 years.
Decided to give up, and haven't had a fag for 12 years.
Halfway through losing six stone.
Looking forward to early retirement.0 -
yes lot of kitchens, looks like 3 seperate homes to me that ended up as one
but even then still too many kitchens, weird, or maybe they thought kitchens were like bathrooms one for every bedroom lus a spare!

Seems it was built as a single family home albeit an extended family. A Mr Shah was the applicant.
He lists his address on the application as c/o Joysleep Ltd.
That company has recently gone into voluntary liquidation. Perhaps that is why they are selling?
If you look here, in the London Gazette, at the first 6 notices you will see that all 6 directors give the Norwegian Barn, Edgwarebury Lane, Elstree as their home address.
Looks like they contravened some planning rules.
That's why it has a massive empty basement area. Apparently that shouldn't be there at all.

They never did comply with the landscaping conditions.
Original planning apllication here:-

and several others if you care to search.0 -
Seems they wanted another kitchen in the basement too .......Seems it was built as a single family home albeit an extended family. A Mr Shah was the applicant.
Although this ad describes it as "4 inter-connecting family homes."
Looks like they contravened some planning rules.
Thats why it has a massive empty basement area. Apparently that shouldn't be there at all.
Apparently, a number of businesses are linked to that address, one of which looks to have gone into administration in 2010.
I think the property look like a BUPA hospital - if I had 6m I reckon I could find something nicer.0
