    Mostly a good mix of modern and historical styles apart from the bathroom in pic 15 which for me really lets it down.Change of colour and patterning sticks out like a sort thumb.

    I'd buy it like a shot, except -
    * It's leasehold not share of freehold
    * It's lower ground and upper ground, when for the view I'd want the top floors!
    * And also, I don't have £2.5 million! :(

    Oh wow, I know it's London, but I did not expect it to be a 2 bed flat for that price!

    Another thing. Go on streeview and scroll the screen to the left to a house with scaffolding. That scaffolding has been on the property for at least 10 years!
    Slightly strange loo setup there too--not terrible as there's a family bathroom but the 'ensuite' doesn't have a toilet and the downstairs loo is only accessible from the outside.
    I've seen the loo access via the outside quite a few times  on RightMove - in otherwise quite recently modernized properties.
    I think it's the remnants of a much older  outside loo extension - sometimes it gets turned into outside storage if a door isnt or can't be easily  added via the kitchen  but often it seems people can't be bothered to strip out  the sanitary  ware so it still  gets "floor planned" as a loo.

    I saw one house on rightmove which ONLY had a loo accessible from the outside, no toilet from the inside. I would have shared it in this thread if I had known about the forum at the time. I don't think I could live with that!

    The bedrooms aren't even that big, they must have put a stud wall in to divide a room that originally stretched across the back of the building.   So maybe I'd take that wall out, and have it as a spacious 1-bed :).

    Gorgeous though. But my goodness- how the other half, etc...

    Of course it was the norm in living memory for some, and several households would have had to share the same outside loo!
