To each, her own taste, LL... that is my definition of soulless. For three million quid, hell, for one tenth of that I would do soooooo much better. I have seen offices with more character... but that's just my opinion, of course.

I'm with you on that one Smodlet. It does look much more like somewhere I'd expect to go for a conference than somewhere I could live. Although the view is fab. But so was the view in the wee flat LL posted previously.

It really does just come down to what AC likes.

I think you are paying for the location rather than the house.

There's a plot of land nearby for £4m......just the land!!!

Let's face it, it's rather academic. I'm not in that bracket, nowhere near. Just my "fantasy home by the sea". :rotfl:

Mine is a modern Art Deco style house, curved, with secluded yet not remote plot and direct access to own private cove. The interior looks a bit likelike this: http://designerscollaborativenyc.com/we-love-palm-beach/#more-227. Definitely the internal staircase.

Off to find exterior and kitchen :rotfl:

The one that got the thumbs up , is on Wilson Thomas
"Lower park stone £210,000"
Possible favourite at this stage

A maisonette I liked in north road( Austin Wyatt) looks good .
My friend slated it more or less for being a matchbox .

I dunno how to post links on here yet ☺️

A bit like this - but with nothing as vulgar as visible neighbours. Plus I like the gates but the orange would have to go. http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-art-deco-house-with-curved-white-walls-and-distinctive-sunrise-railings-30597976.html

Oh baby........ http://www.theartofbespoke.com/showcase/art-deco-kitchen/

Yeah, the orange looks 'wrong' ��

Completely off topic (apologies AC), this is top of my current wish list

OH spotted it the day we moved here, specifically the new build, and it wasn't on the market then. I am really surprised that they don't have a photo of the view - you can see it best in the shots of the kitchen island/dining area, and the bedroom with the stripey duvet.
But it is a bit out of our price range, sadly.

Clearly a man of taste AC. So, this pool: https://www.oyster.com/vancouver/hotels/rosewood-hotel-georgia/photos/pool--v1733487-98

Or this one:http://www.thecliffhousehotel.com/wellness-and-activities/wellness-facilities

Second one is also on with Frost & Co.


Whilst there's nothing wrong with looking, isn't North Road a bit over your budget, or right at the top end even if you managed to get a 10% reduction on the asking price?

First one looks ok. Not sure I've found the second unless it's the pimp's house :rotfl:. Prefer the Purbeck Heights ones though - wouldn't that view lift your soul every morning :T.
