Nice family home, owners clearly have 3 young children. Bet they have a nice, wholesome family photo above the fireplace...

£12,000 a month!!! 😱😱😱😱

But, it's only £2,750 a week. Much cheaper  

It's London, dahling, surely everyone worth thinking about can easily afford £12,000 a month. 

I'm sure I've seen this one somewhere else before....
Ah, yes. Some "real estate agent" was trying to get me to rent it for £900, but first I had to fill in an application form and hand over a refundable £100 approval fee. Poor deluded scammer....

SW6 
Fulham. or as the Estates Agents might say :  "South West Chelsea".

I can't believe it's a genuine price. Maybe agents put it on Rightmove to rent at this silly price but try are really trying to sell it. Maybe they pass it on to some property finder companies who can show the rental listing to their clients

When we were looking for a rental property for our aunt I am sure they wanted income three times the rental cost. £12k per month would be £432k per year.

I suppose Robert Palmer has to live somewhere...  

If you mean Robert Palmer the singer, he actually died 21 years ago

I am looking for a replacement fireplace for a 1930s house so trawling through houses in need of modernisation. This one came up. The fireplace in the living room looks a little earlier than 1930s but wondered what people think. Also some cracking wallpaper. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/153100574#/?channel=RES_BUY

Building looks older than 1930s. If you peruse OS maps of the area, the row of houses appears on the 1911 OS map. Fireplaces in the bedrooms have a more Victorian feel to them.

My grandparents had a 30’s house, as did my parents. There’s not necessarily one 30’s style. In the house you linked to the overmantel with mirror leans towards Arts and Crafts and the tiled one is more Art Deco or Modernist. It’s also ‘wrong’ for many 30’s houses to have panelled doors, people imagine they have been removed and that the plain ones aren’t original.

So basically you can pick a style that goes with your furniture!

@Sarahspangles it’s for my step daughter. I think her house will have had a big tiled fireplace. Nothing there now. She is drawn to Victorian cast iron fireplaces but I think that will look odd with a very clearly 1930s house so I am trying to find something a little more in keeping.

@FreeBear you may well be right about the date. I had a double take on the living room as it felt more Edwardian than 1930s but the dining room fireplace and doors seem 1930s. I was just trawling through hundreds of properties on rightmove with the keyword ‘modernisation’. I noticed some of the neighbours have beautiful tiled fireplaces.
