That has to be a candidate for 'Britain's most expensive houses' if it hasn't already featured. Not a bad gaff is it?

£11 million? Nope, peanuts, try £75million:

"30 minutes to central London" . You've got to love the optimism of estate agents.

It is.
By helicopter.

That reminds me of one of the posh / expensive estates up here.  "How to get here by air.  Fly to Inverness, Charter a helicopter"

By the way, that Stairwell posted a while back here, for sale for 20K, was sold (for £25k)
The big question though, is  what the local council will actually allow him to do with it. re: planning permission.
Unless he has got some strong indications already for a change of use, he is taking a chance.

 Squibb, 49, is hoping to get permission from the local council to turn it into a pop-up shop, office or “live-work space” that entrepreneurs can use – potentially for up to a month at a time – free of charge.

Property developers have also contacted him to tell him that, with the right planning permission, it could be developed and sold for £500,000.

Not that he is  too bothered I suppose:

At the very least, he said he hoped he would be allowed to put a desk on the landing and use it as an office space himself. “I own a £2m mansion not too far away, but I think I actually prefer the staircase. It’s the potential of what it can do to help other people. It really excites me.”
