oh I'm conflicted by this one! I like the overall look of the building but I'm horrified by the death stairs and obviously the astroturf.

ETA I cross posted with other stair-haters! Never mind small children, I haven't been brilliant at stairs since I got varifocals, I'd break both my legs within a week.

There is no way those stairs comply with building regulations.  I would be asking the vendor embarasing questions about how that passed building regs and what other things they may have "got away" with.

Yep, wouldn't  be allowed in renovations either , also the hypocrisy of "carbon footprint minimised"
yet with what looks like "low maintenance garden" fake grass that has an awful environmental impact as well as looking ugly, UGH!

And not trying hard enough on the build.  Only an EPC B, if you are doing it right on a new build like that I would expect an EPC A.

What a shame because it could be lovely couldn't it? Wonder what it would cost to do the work...

Minimalist shoebox anyone?

High Street, London NW10, 3 bedroom terraced house for sale - 67365990 | PrimeLocation

My eyebrows went up a bit when I saw this as I'm having discussions with my son. I offered to buy him a house, but he wants one in London. Probably not going to work out. But, 'shoebox' caught my eye.

Following your link, I couldn't see the property in the description, but found a list of properties. Including this one:

https://www.primelocation.com/for-sale/details/65169658

Still above what I can justify buying, and way more expensive than my entire house here in Leicester. But, just curious about its layout. Surely there's no way that Bedroom 2 is those dimensions. Even if the floorplan is 'not to scale'. 

That's the first time I've seen a floorplan just in meters. How would anyone be able to figure out the real size?

🙄

Do you still pay for your shopping using florins and farthings?

Ha ha, no, but I've never seen one just in metres before, and one would have to convert it to feet to understand it (unless you were brought up in metres, such as in France).

Or in England in the last 40 years.

Personally I think this slightly lacks kerb appeal. Sold, however.

That's a house which has the potential to go downhill rapidly.

Both literally and metaphorically.
