What is the most expensive house currently on sale within 5 miles of yourself?

£3,850,000 and yes I would. It’s a lovely 8 bed period property with lots of space and outbuildings. It’s finished to a high standard and much of it is in keeping with the style of house and matches my taste. Although I doubt I’d use the tennis court, but if money were no object, I’d probably turn that into a swimming pool. 

The most expensive property next to where I’m moving to is £5,950,000 and my goodness I’d jump at the chance of owning that. It’s a beautiful 20 bed hall with ancillary accommodation which looks as if the current vendors have used it partially as holiday lets, but if I won the Euromillions it’s the sort of thing I’d turn back into a family home.

1.9 million, lovely big rooms with big windows and beautiful views and a big garden. Lots of dark wood which I'm not too keen on and no utility room. If someone said, do you want to have it with a cleaner and no living cost increases - yes please, I'll convert one of the five bedrooms to a laundry room and another to an arts and craft room

There  is one  7.5 million. 13 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, 18 acres etc. etc. so not going to sell quick.

After that next highest is 1.5 million.

I have just been looking again at some of those places I found earlier within 5 miles from me
(Lottery win daydreaming), some of them have yearly service charges  more than what I used to earn per year and I used to earn 20k.

8.5m for a 6 bedroom with an annex, 1113 sqm, 1.17 acre, indoor swimming pool, gated private road

no, i can't afford it and even if i did, that is not my sort of lifestyle.  i like to live modestly irrespective of how much money I have as i come from a poor background and i don't want to change my lifestyle into a multi-millionaire lifestyle, even if i had multi millions.

if i had that much money, i wouldn't spend it on myself but on other people to help them have a better life :-)

60m for a fairly manageable flat overlooking Hyde Park, but I expect that the most expensive property is not advertised on Rightmove. 

I have heard that Witanhurst is for sale at £300m. That’s the second largest house in London, after Buckingham Palace, and Witanhurst is in far better condition.

Wentworth, £14million, might buy two, one for each foot.

£6.25 mil, 5 bedroom, 5 bathrooms - which makes me wonder wear any dinner guests go as surely the bedrooms are all ensuite.  Debating whether I'd buy it, assuming I have that amount of money I'd be able to afford a cleaner or 3.  But would I be able to afford the 3 cars to go in the garage?  And the yacht for the moorings?  And would the fully equipped gym make me feel guilty or would the sellers take all that nasty stinky equipment with them leaving me with a fully mirrored room....and would all those mirrors still make me feel guilty??

£60 million for a flat! :-o The listing doesn't seem to even have proper photos of the actual flat, as a fair proportion of the photos seem to be of the communal facilities.

No, from outside looks middle of nowhere.
