They seem to have fostered a sort of "roman baths" type vibe. And clearly a deep love of shelves...

I actually love it.  But it reminds me of a game of Cluedo for some reason - I'd be lost for months!

It’s huge! And quite a low auction start price for a detached property that big. Wonder what it will actually go for at auction

I think it is gorgeous. Just a bit too far from the transport links.

Spot the EA or owner. No inside shots is worrying. I wonder if the BMW comes with it?

I can't decide how I feel about this place. It's quite OTT. I don't like the rear garden much. That woodburner in the conservatory must be a literal waste of energy?

It says it's a detached house, which would be an absolute bargain at that price, but it's the top floor apartment. The apartment is very nice but the building is WOW!

I liked the first picture (so the agent knows what they're doing!), but it went progressively downhill from there.

I like the rear garden, everything else seems oversized for the rooms.

That conservatory must be insulated to a high standard or it breaches building regs by not having a door between it and the kitchen.

No doors between the kitchen and conservatory so breaks building regs and however you heat it, it is going to be a money pit to keep warm.

Wrong setting for a WBS and flue way too low, will be a nuisance to neighbours.

But the house has got an electric car plug!  That will offset all the gas wasted heating the gargantuan void on the ground floor and clean the air polluted when the stove is lit and smoking like an Atlantic trawler (possibly).  Incidentally, the point of exit of the chimney is reinforced with a steel gusset that is touching one of the PVC spars of the conservatory roof.  How likely is it that damage may occur as the result of heat conduction?
