Is it just me, or is this a weird layout?

I'm not good with plans sorry - can't get a visual or spacial bearing.

I looked for better photos and couldn't find any, but this penthouse looks to be the place opposite, if it's a similar type build?

Also I had to look up what "mews" really meant cause I was never sure of it's origin.

Cambridge Dictionary

mews Show phonetics
noun [C] plural mews MAINLY UK
1 a building which was used in the past for keeping horses and is now used as a house:
They bought a converted mews.
a tiny mews house

2 a short narrow road where these buildings are found:
Their address is 6 Gloucester Mews.

It's originally for horses / coaches and associated servants - there are lots in this neck of the woods, as the area was laid out in Georgian times.

To do this in a house then have the audacity to ask £1.1million for it without blinking an eye .... morons

I suspect the owner has that whole floor as their bedroom+dressing room+bathroom. And it just looks odd now as their dressing room is being sold as a bedroom in its own right.

I thought that and posted to that effect. Then I deleted it when I realised that would leave the top floor main bedroom with no direct access to their own bathroom (other than on the ground floor ). However I think you are right. A good case of what suits one person being very unattractive to the majority.

I was looking at this house:

£100,000 off today.

It's a start I suppose, back to the real world.




I added this to my Rightmove favourites as a token property to watch the direction of London market.

BTW.. my property-bee shows you found it first (just in case you were wondering) because I never see my property-bee username as finding new data first (when the new property-bee was still working "in a bee"prior to database issue) as I don't think it tells you if you find data first.

In effect, I think it does show you if you found it first, in that no-one else's name is next to the data?

How do i know if i'm working in bee or how do i select it. (if indeed the option is back up and running). Either noones tracked houses in my area or i have no distributed data.

Last time i checked the "work-in-a-bee" option was still unavailable (database issue because it's tricky working out how to collate everyone's data without over-stressing the server).

So new users can't see others' data until all the data transfer back to the hive is back up and working again. NDG's data (and other users) is still in my own property-bee local database from when property-bee was fully operation a while back. Looking forward to property-bee's full return.
