Exactly. People need to stop the pointless obsession with the top end stuff in Central, North and West London, that has never been particularly "affordable", and concentrate on obtaining value for money elsewhere.
If you're commuting to the City, opting for Finchley over Honor Oak must be the very definition of pointless snobbery.0 -

Neither would I (as I said) although you've got me on the mode of transport, I wouldn't pay to get a helicopter to work (you are obviously on a huge salary if you get paid enough to cover a helicopter to commute), I have to make do with the train and tube.
Although I must say I would rather buy that house than a £500k house and a helicopter.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

It is quite unique though.
Includes beds fit for giants!

Floorplan says 91 sq.m.
Which is about the average floor space for a property in England.
The chair in picture 4, I assume is the dining room, measuring 16' by 13'. How large is your (share of) dining room, then?Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -
