Welcome back to another exciting episode where I dive into a video home tour that claims to showcase the most luxurious home in the UK. In this video, I reveal the truth behind these bold claims and provide a comprehensive critique of the property. Spoiler alert: it's not all it's cracked up to be!
The video we're examining today is about a home tour that asserts it's the most luxurious home in the UK. However, upon closer inspection, there are several flaws and shortcomings that I just couldn't overlook. From the architectural design to the interior decor, I expose all the hidden issues and areas where the property falls short of being the most luxurious home in the UK.
Despite the hype, this property, located just outside of London, near Manchester and Liverpool, doesn't live up to the title of the most luxurious home in the UK. While the video makes grandiose claims, I'll point out both the positives and the negatives, providing a balanced and honest review.
One of the major selling points of this home is its proximity to London. The property is situated outside of London, which might be appealing for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. However, being close to Manchester and Liverpool doesn't automatically make it the most luxurious home in the UK.
Throughout the video, I'll highlight why this home doesn't deserve the title of the most luxurious home in the UK. Despite some impressive features, there are glaring flaws that need to be addressed. From poorly executed design choices to questionable layout decisions, this property has a lot to improve upon before it can truly be considered the most luxurious home in the UK.
Join me as I take you through an in-depth review, pointing out the good, the bad, and the ugly. If you're interested in real estate and love seeing luxurious properties, you'll want to watch this video.
Remember to like, comment, and subscribe for more reaction videos and critiques. Let me know your thoughts on whether you think this home truly deserves to be called the most luxurious home in the UK.

The more annoyed Arvin gets, the funnier he is! But the best part is, he’s absolutely right and makes total sense!
Then he should do more 'The Luxury Home Show' reaction... they has more ridiculous property to breakdown :)
Nah, I tend to disagree about 85% of the time, California Superiority Syndrome at its finest^^
"You may disagree...But I don't care though" > Peak Arvin.
Honestly the front of the property looks like a shopping mall.
But then it’s good because there’s no shortage of parking spots! lol!
Medical office building to me. 6 types of specialists and lab services on site 😂
Funny! I saw a Medical offices too.
getting flashbacks to michael jordon's house 🤐
And the living area is like of a sad 4 stars hotel lobby. To wait so many years, pay the designer and the architect so much and you get this 😂😂
3 bedrooms facing a driveway must be some record
The curtains looked pretty sheer, too. Flash the neighborhood at night.
It has the feeling of an office space or a luxury car dealership. Also, the sunken bit doesn't work in the UK. It rains so often that the sunken part just turns into a water collector that requires constant cleaning to keep it nice.
Thanks for the info! It should have drainage but ur correct
😂 ja gute Ideen Umsetzung nicht so der Hammer
The flat roof is also really stupid. Imagine the cost & time it’ll take to replace the membrane with all the solar panels. The constant rain will make the roof deteriorate really fast.
I think I get why the pool is inside. But space wise, they could have made this pool have a motorized cover and they could have worked it out.
A lot of mansions have dedicated space I would never use (like a cigar room and a wine roon....etc....) but, by the most part I could repurpose. This dwelling has a LOT of spaces I would never use that can never be reporposed. It's way too niche. And not for me..
This looks like a footballer's house, big gym, big pool, big backyard and more money than sense

It might work if it were in southern Spain or California, but in the UK?
@@gridley This place is just outside of Manchester and Liverpool, there's 4 huge club there, most footballers who plays in those cities lives on nearby villages, this house is definitely purpose built for a footballer
YES!!!! It screams, "I just signed a big contract in the Premier League."

Looks like the architect went to Vegas and stayed at the cosmo and said Yep, this would be great in England next door to houses built in the 1800’s
*Costco
that thing looks like a shopping mall
@@jaromor8808 He meant the Cosmo, as in The Cosmopolitan Casino. It very much has the same cheesy "valvet luxury" look as you get at the cosmo, only it's purple there.

Thanks 🙏🏼
"My personal opinion, you can disagree...I wouldn't care though." And I'm here for it.
Agree about the lack of landscape at the property entrance. It looks industrial rather than modern.
The colors make it look like a warehouse.
Yuuup
I lived in the UK for 6 years. The dark gray skies and the sun setting super early in the afternoon got to me. Everything is dark dreary & gray naturally so to use gray colors inside is crazy. People over there do love grays & black though. You won’t see many cars or even peoples’s coats with any color other than black or gray (& silver for cars).

@@sammyvincent6701 Plot twist, they're related.
Gonna guess this house was designed for one of the big footballers in England. Explains the gigantic indoor pool for privacy, and the entire fitness center wing of the house for that matter. Also the dark color palette, concrete, and metal finishes speaks of a wealthy younger man's taste instead of someone with a family.
Had the exact same thoughts!
I wouldn't pay any money for this.
It's cheaply built and upsold. I want the land but would tear down the house
This place is more suitable to be a private gallery/ museum, too cold to be a home imo.
Looks like a car dealership turned into a livable house. I'm 2 minutes in, and some pieces of furniture are about the best I've seen. The rest looked cold and corporate, very distant. As Arvin says, first impression / WOW factor is important.
I live in the UK. We can have 3 weeks of cold, grey, rainy weather. It can be depressing. But, in a grey house? Obviously you need to own a super yacht if this is your house. So that you can escape all the dismal grey.
in England is not only rainy but also cold and windy and indoor pool just makes more sense. It's more for spa area than entertainment. Outdoor pool you can use maybe 2 months in a year, the average temperature is really low.
I'm pretty sure we have worst winters here in Canada and guess what! We have outdoor pools. There's this magical thing called a heater! Arvin is right what a wasted yard and square footage! 😂
also, privacy!
You can get it heated. There's no reason not to have an outdoor pool here, could've still had an indoor lap pool. And 2 months it's still nice to have the option. You have the space and money, why wouldn't you get one?

@@ArvinHaddadOfficial Arvin, hi! I have a bit of a weird question. There was this gorgeous property, 9420 Readcrest Drive in Beverly Hills, that was featured on Darren Kriz’s channel. Zillow says it was sold for 9.8 million in 2023. This seems unbelievably cheap for this location and this type of property. Any idea why?
Sort of the flip side of luxury real estate in Dubai. Either too hot/sunny or too cold/cloudy.
Another consideration for porcelain tile floors in the UK.... porcelain floors are nice in a place like Dubai where the temperatures are 30+C/100+F to help the home feel cooler. In the UK, the finishes do not need to help keep the home cool... the weather does just fine on its own with keeping things cool. Wood floors are much better for helping spaces feel warmer in addition to looking warmer.
In this part of England it rains 300 days a year, hence the number of solar panels. Plus the last thing a British interior needs is grey as it sucks out whatever colour there is in the home. It starts to look like a municipal car park
300 days a year?! I'd have full on depression
@@AndrewLauJunyong😂😂😂
@@AndrewLauJunyongLiverpool has 147 precipitation days a year.
"You can disagree, I wouldn't care though"😂 Ice cold man, ice. cold.
Hehehehe
Fantastic video and really good that you are taking the pressure off Enes😂
This is a brilliant office building, art gallery or exhibition space, but its a terrible home that would put your kids into therapy...
Even British Mikey STRUGGLES to generate any enthusiasm for this cold space... Also I am sure that the echoes in all this concrete would be awful...
Absolute no and thanks for the great perspective!
Enes really needed a couple days off after the last video … ya this one was just horrible one of the worst modern one story homes I have seen
British Mikey was the first thing I was thinking. 😂
Yea but you can ride a motorbike in the inside the house!
I always learn something from each of your videos, but your commentary in this video was a master class in architecture and interior design. Super entertaining and super educational.
TV right at your feet in your own bed is the dumbest "convenience" I've ever seen in these houses.
well you don’t even have a TV
I lended to a tract home development that offered that in masters for an up charge.
I think only 3 homes out of the 130+ community complex chose the option.
It's actually pretty good in terms of optimal distance, if that is a 43' inch TV. If it was wall-mounted in such a large bedroom, you would need a much larger TV because of the viewing distance. You could go with a ceiling mount too, though.

The issue with outdoor pools in the UK isn't the rain, it's the heat. That far north summer will be 20c (68f) average and the winter might not get about 0c (32f). This means you HAVE to put it indoors if you want year-round use, or expecet a heating bill over £1k/month to keep it warm enough in the winter.
And even with an expensive heated pool it's not very comfortable to go out swimming in the winter.
For this price category the heating cost is not important… I respectfully disagree… isn’t luxury getting what you really want?
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial Ok, you can heat the water, but what about body parts that sticking out of the water while you are swimming? It is a bit uncomfortable to swim while your head is freezing. Not to mention that you have to breathe in cold air.
The whole house structure enclosing the pool, probably cost more than 20 years of bills for heating it year round!
Heck! With that much solar and efficient heat pumps technology we have today, I bet that never, l mean never will inside pool of that size be more economical than the outdoor one!
At least not in the UK…
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial you are right on the cost, it’s not enough to worry about at this level.
I’m not sure, however, if the experience of an outdoor pool is better in our weather. Too cold / wet for people to sit around and talk, horrible walk to / from the water (esp getting out).
Ideally you want it in an area where you can slide back 1 or 2 glass walls so it works as indoor or outdoor.
I feel like an athlete built this. All the focus on the gym and the pool and the three bedrooms in the front where an after thought to make it more sellable.
My father has a building business here in the U.K. , he said flat roofed homes here more often than not have problems with water penetration at some point due to the amount of rain we get . PS LOL at 15:04 STOP BEING A WANKER !! 😂 such a British expression , you are hilarious !
Too much standing water on a roof like that one. The house would forever have roof leaks. Seal one and another would start. 😬😬
Ur father is correct my friend
I was really wondering how these flat roofs hang on in rainy places. No surprise it has problems.
Well most of yhe flatroofs are "fake flat", which kind if works for small homes (still ugly imo). Here though the surdace is too big to make a decent fake flat roof
These kinds of modern homes aren’t very popular in the uk, those indoor/outdoor living spaces aren’t very suited to English weather. If you have money you’re either buying something in London, or buying an old mansion with land and renovating the interior, or you just leave for somewhere warmer.
Thanks for ur input
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial thank you for the video! I love your channel.
Also props for calling out our obsession with grey interiors. It’s a n awful trend everyone heres been doing lately 😂
For that money you can get some great places in Surrey.
This house gives me "50 Shades of UK".
Yesterday, I walked into my living room, which has a 29 ft ceiling, and said "this room has great scale." I think I might be watching a lot of these videos.
Looks like a commercial building with furniture
Specifically a car dealership.
It's all sad. One expensive sad house.
So long as there is no thunder and lightning, I'm perfectly fine being in a pool when it is raining. So long as it's heated. 😂
As someone who is tired to their core from seeing white marble (especially in bathrooms) I was surprisingly relieved to see the white bathrooms in this property
Right!!! Lol
You can tell the south orientation by the tilted panels as they will be pointing to the equator. Northern hemisphere face south, southern hemisphere face panels north
Dahhh Yes correct that was a lot easier to figure out than my method of doing shadow angle 📐 calculations 😂
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial great vid as always 🙏
Another viewer observed that outdoor pools do not warm up much in England. From experience i know that heating a pool consumes huge amounts of energy. Outdoor pools also need to be cleaned frequently. I decided to do an indoor pool in a house in MD. It was much smaller than this lap pool, so easy to heat. The pool was in a glass-walled sun room. Nothing more luxurious than lounging in a warm pool, while watching it snow outside. The drawback is humidity. Covering the pool fixes this, but ruins the esthetics. The alternative is an all-stainless central dehumidification system. Absent these measures, even greenboard deteriorates.
the sound boucing off the glass is torture
When I first stumbled on your channel a few months ago I didn’t like it, now I love your content! Super informative.
London - you’re spot on with re the grey tones. I live in London too and I HATE it with a passion. I think I suffer from SAD (that weather mood thing 😂) so much grey clouds I don’t want to look at grey indoors. Thankfully it’s getting much better now, I actually watch that channel and can see the improvement and departure from the drabby tones. THANK GOODNESS 🤭
Have a great weekend Arvin💫
Edit: just finished the entire video and felt EXACTLY how you felt watching a few weeks ago. Quite frankly the home is underwhelming 😢
Subscribed because of him being direct.
Iam Norwegian in UK, know how it is here, bad...let's be real..property is awful, grey depressing and guys walking through pretend it to be nice and cozy. Ridiculous.
Love this man, learned alot although I am a doc, but this man got me so much general knowledge about real estate in general, usa and uk. Btw hope you can review country side proper uk houses, some are bonkers.
I know my comment won't be seen but anyway love your channel.
I'm from the UK and every time I look at properties here I think the exact same thing... I'm so glad to hear you say "please stop using grays". Thank you!
Hey Arvin I love your sense of humor and the way you share your knowledge with us...
notice the billard table [game room] within the living room next to the kitchen; do hide a sports room and swimming pool, but not the billard table... if kids wanna play, imagine having to listen the balls clicking when others do not play; living space should have items for daily use.
Blackpool is the British equivalent of Atlantic City/Reno. Nobody's paying £10 million there (except maybe a local football player). They've got real stately homes and mansions nearby for less. Horrible tacky mess.
Shudder…that bad!
Looks like a Real Estate main office. A place to entertain your clients, not very homey. The maintenance room looks like a computer room in an office. All those orange cables need to be maintained. You would have to hire a professional to maintain all those high tech doors, panels and security. She said over 40 kilometers of wiring as if that's a good thing. All those wires have to be traced behind those marble walls and "Venetian" plaster walls. If something goes wrong with the tech it would be a nightmare to fix it.
Totally agree with you around the 11:00 mark in the vid regarding how to warm it up and make it cozy. The current layout feels like a hotel lobby.
One flaw to me: Seperated garage. No direct access to the house. Very typical in UK.
If I'm the architect, I will design a U shape facing the backyard. Put the indoor pool, sauna and gym in the west wing with no windows which is adjacent to the neighbour with two-story house. And put bedrooms in the west wing next to high trees.
And put a study facing the frontyard. No sank-in area in the backyard but setup a deck in the backyard with bbq and table with shaded ceiling.
Why is that typical in the UK when it's raining all the time? Doesn't make sense...
@@tobiasrockel i dunno why but i see that's the most case. i guess it's the land issue. there could be no much room for the garage before. and later the garage is built seperately.
@@tobiasrockelit only rains 147 days a year in Liverpool
I actually screamed out loud when I saw the floor plan - a bedroom off the non-foyer? Really? Reverse the kitchen/dining and master suite locations. Move the entire house to the right where the stupid placement of the current garage is. This would allow room to extend the left wing a bit. (Indoor swimming pool/gym GONE, btw.) Put the garage/utility/comms rooms by the garage that's now on the front side of the left wing! Add a mud + powder room between the garage and the kitchen (deliveries!). All ensuite bedrooms with closets, thank-you-very-much, should face the yard (pool outside). Pool table in the living room? Really? Move the front door to the right where the stupid aforementioned foyer bedroom is. I could go on and on, i.e., the fire pit design and location are just r. o. n. g. - WRONG! The foyer should have a closet (for wet guests coats) and a small powder room across the way as close to the front door as possible. It's better to walk in the front door and see a large expanse of lawn or garden that wonder what the hell you're looking at. Thanks Arvin - This was one of my favorite Arvin Haddad shows! Peace.
A £10m next to Blackpool, bold.
Lytham and St Annes are lovely areas
I am not a real estate agent or involved in real estate, but must say your videos are entertaining, seen the channel grow from sub 20k, best of luck to your Arvin
I appreciate that!
This looks like an office space with bedrooms.
While I love the look of modern homes, I fund the black and silver and gray in this house to be exhausting. It’s clearly built for a bachelor. It’s way too masculine, not just in the color scheme, but also in the layout.
Footballer I would think
Yeah, even for a bachelor it's too much imo ... All my bachelor pads I've always brought in "a women's touch" and even masculine spaces need at least a little of it. Wood floors alone would've made a huge difference, all that black and grey in the kitchen and especially outdoor space was awful, and the bathroom was unsightly.
I get what you're saying, but this is like 1980s kinda masculine. It needed more contrast and more of a natural feel instead of an industrial one.
Also, any home even remotely close to a bachelor pad in that price range has to have a MUCH better garage, and I'd have liked to have seen a tennis court or something sports related outside.
I really hate this house.
maybe the sunken firepit with hedges around it is supposed to keep you warmer compared to if you were at ground level with wind blowing on you. and maybe they put the pool inside so they could put soccer/football goals in the backyard
All of which makes perfect sense.
Great video. Very informative. You really have taken these videos to a whole new level. I find myself addicted to your video's now. I wake up, first thing I do in the morning is go to your TH-cam site to see if you have posted a new episode. Keep them coming. This is truly must-watch TV for potential Buyers and Sellers alike! Congratulations. RC
the palette is something I notice in a lot of uk properties. especially grating in those dark mews houses in london where they've chosen black/dark wood palettes. like please... lighten it up!!!
LOL i love the drone flying, the guy explaining how tiles are layed out, the usefullness of washing machines.... hahahahah
I live in a one-story house. Arvin would love that! Granted, he'd hate everything else about it... including that it's only a 1bed/1bath... but at least there's that 😊
Hey … that counts
An outdoor pool is an absolute No No in england especially in the west, northwest bad weather from the Atlantic is so typical, its not just “regular rain”, its high freezing cold winds and typical storms, you have to be crazy to think that you would love to “relax” around that, better off imo to put a water feature there, also the master bedroom has a dressing room, it shows on the floor plans so it doesn’t need a wardrobe, i also like to point out i didn’t see any drainage around the firepit unless i missed that.
Most homes in England don't have closets, they use wardrobes. Also, in the UK, having the pool be inside makes a lot of sense.
This is a £10m home, so for £10m yes it should have closets not just a wardrobe, wardrobes are only standard for regular UK homes not for millionaire homes, millionaire homes in the UK also have an actual walk in closet.
Yeah, that fair. Apparently, some of the rooms did have closets. But yes, it should have been standard in every single room. However, as someone who has been to that read a few times, I’m sticking by that pool comment with my life. Lol.
First time viewer and really impressed with your critique. I think the bigest fails are the 3 bedrooms positoned away from the rear. I disagree about simply having outdoor pool with cover as the weather (not just rain) would render it useable for only a few weeks in the year. I would instead have built the indoor pool along the length of the garden fence to make space for garden facing bedrooms. Agree with you completely on the cold decor and materials, this property is begging for some warm tones from natural wood.
This isn't the most luxurious home in the UK by any stretch but it's very modern and certainly different. About 10 minutes from where I live we have a place called Virginia Water, Wentworth Estate and the houses are far more prestige, grand and some of the most luxury estates you'll find anywhere and they don't have neighbours to your immediate left and right that can just look into your property. Also, it pretty much comes with a PGA golf course just at the back. This property is well done don't get me wrong but the reason we don't many of these "LA" style homes is because we barely get any sunlight and warm weather so basically houses are built to be well insulated and keep you warm throughout the 362 days of winter that we get + you'll just see a bunch of grey clouds that can get depressing😂
Excited for this video, i love watching The luxury home show.
Ya I just discovered them
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial
They are a very good channel, well worth watching.
Another weakness of this house is the flat roof & it being completely covered with solar panels. The only places you should have a flat roof are in arid areas or where hurricanes are a possibility - having a flat roof in a place where it rains constantly is really stupid. The constant rain will deteriorate the roof pretty quickly. Imagine how much it’ll cost to replace the weatherproof membrane on that roof.
They produced the video on the one single day of the year when the sun shines in the UK! Regarding solar: We Europeans don't build solar panels on the roof to only supply our house with electricity. We produce electricity on the roof and feed it into the grid, for which we are paid by the grid operator. What we need ourselves stays in the house, the surplus is fed into the public grid!

Thats an instant teardown.
😂
Looks like an office reception space. So warm.
In England it's common to want and have bedrooms facing north so that they don't get superheated on hot days. England is not blanketed in Air Conditioning like the USA and even if this house has it that will still be the natural tendancy. I live in a glass box like this and it's horrible on a hot day in south facing rooms at night with all the humidity.
The emphasis on the English accent is such perfect British humour, I love it.
I'm generally not a fan of LHS because they always tour these grey, grey, grey houses. (And they feel a bit too Gen Z for my liking)
Don't get me wrong, I love a grey but in a large space you have to add dimension to and not be afraid to go balls to the wall with blacks and whites along with the grey.
The house could work warm or cold but only grey just makes it blah.
I’m sorry but the front of this house looks like a car dealership. I’m fairly new to your channel and you are fantastic. Great dry sense of humor! Cheers
They'd get to use the pool for maybe 3/4 months out of the year if it was outside. The UK isn't just rainy it's also COLD.
3/4 mo is great espcially in a place where you need to enjoy every decent outdoor day.
The grey on grey is deliberate since it is just a coat of primer...ready for the next tenant to paint over!!
The biggest problem I have with Arvin is that I loved all these beautiful modern houses of Enes‘ channel … then, because of Arvin, I have seen all these houses again with other eyes … now I hate most of these houses. Arvin destroyed all my dream houses! 😂 Now for real: Fantastic channel, love it ❤
For the master bedroom I would have one way glass. Having to close the curtains on a 10 mill home to have privacy from guests or family is not convenient.
Video ideas: Do some on Enes' best properties as well. Will give us an idea of what to look for.
My top three are:
31m Marbella mansion
32.5m NYC penthouse
30m Jungle Backyard mansion
And maybe do some on Producer Michael's videos (they can be hilarious). Specially the video of The One Belair.
Would be great to watch imo. Fingers crossed we get it. Cheers!
Edit: Commenting again for reach. Hope you see it :)
A few days ago a friend from Uk showed me his indoor and outdoors tiles. It was Grey!! Grey is the ugliest colour, even in sunnier places.
You really don't want an outdoor pool in the UK
Why not? He explained well why for this kind of property, you should have one.
Because he compared it to
Places like Seattle, which is not comparable. Seattle has decent weather. I mean in rains a lot, but it manageable. And theres frequent overcasts, however, still plenty of sunny part of the day. THAT PART OF ENGLAND IS NO JOKE. It literally rains every single day and the windchill is nuts. It cold like, all the time. And the wind would blow the water out the pool.And to say that a grown person would go swimming in the rain is… odd to say the least. 😂
@@esosaimasuen8122tbf, I’m grown and my friends and I love swimming in the rain sometimes (obviously when there’s no thunder/lightning) 😂

@@MeesterJ these days literally is used so improperly that even webster's gave in.
I really hate this house, it is too angular and corporate for my liking. However, I think that in the UK an indoor or an indoor/outdoor pool is best. You would only be able to use an outdoor pool for a few months a year there or use a whole lot of electricity to heat an outdoor pool in the cold months and most pool covers are not attractive IMO. I also like to swim at nights in the security of indoors. Gray can be pleasant and soothing as can be seen in Scandinavian decor and it is often better to embrace the gray than fight against it, but you need warmer kinds of gray for this location and a lot less of it.
The grey is what you get when you ask for an Indoor-Outdoor design in the UK.
ha!
Im from the UK and i agree i wish people would stop with the grey its got a choke hold Brits and this house has missed the marked i have seen much better houses
Looks like the lobby of a Manhattan office building. Where are the other 57 floors.
The first floor lounge is the waiting room at an Audi dealership.
Having to back out garage everyday is MAJOR flaw @ this price point but I’m assuming most people who can afford it won’t be living here full time
Garage is too small, also no direct access to the house. Why is it set back like that anyway?
1. (6:12) I'm hoping the garage or (gear-rodge) 😂 has one of those 360 turning floors. So that once you drive in, the floor will spin 180 degrees. 😁
2. (18:20) I don't like dark kitchens. No dark walls and countertops. A kitchen should start your day off with light, bright colors with plenty of natural sunlight and leafy green plants. Save the dark colors for your cigar and movie room
3. (20:50) You're right a swimming pool should be outside in the sunlight. That pool looks like someone turned their indoor bowling alley into a lap pool. 😝 If you live in a cool climate zone, just build a heated swimming pool outside. Then you can enjoy it for an Extra 1-2 months out of the year. 😎
I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed with one of your opinions more than the one about the pool in this house. If you wanted to do an indoor/outdoor pool that’s fine, but having an outdoor pool in the UK is an awful idea. Who the hell has ever said “who cares if it’s raining, you’re already wet?” That’s just ridiculous. Plus it’s not necessarily the rain, it’s more about the temperature. Maybe an outdoor hot tub would be ok, but it’s way too cool to have only an outdoor pool in the UK. It’s not even warm enough for most of the summer to have an outdoor. You might get 15 to 20 days if you’re lucky. I guarantee you the pool is indoors because of the temperature, not the rain. Have you ever seen the rain the UK? Watch the British Open this summer. It doesn’t just rain, it blows in sideways. It will be like 55 degrees, raining, with 30 mph winds in August. This is just the most absurd thing I have ever heard you say.
Yeah! - There’s days here where the wind would be blowing the water out the pool 🌊 Rain & hail so hard that it hurts your skin! 😂
THANK YOU! I was like, this man is wild for making such a silly statement. Who swims in the rain??
@@esosaimasuen8122if it’s warm people swim in the rain.
Yeah, but you’d want to do that every day? Once in a while, sure. You’re like, “screw it. It’s still fun. I’m spontaneous.” Every day? You be like, why does swimming always involved getting rained on, freezing, and nearly blown out the pool by the wind? 😂
@@esosaimasuen8122exactly especially if it is not warm… like in England 😂
We do love our greys here in the UK! Love your channel
I was going to suggest this addition when you reviewed the Japanese penthouse that was so plain. This place needs the same treatment, PLANTS! They would warm up the place, and make it more livable, but all the grays are a downer mood wise! The pool area looks far from being a fun place to spend time, no room in this house looks enjoyable to be in!
Living in the UK, you absolutely need an indoor pool opposed to an outdoor pool. Personally loving the greys as I feel a lot of people do in the UK. Having said that love wood aswell
Apparently in the UK, "Fifty Shades of Grey" is about palette choices.
Absolutely spot on!
Landscaping Poor
Color choices Poor
Layout Weird
Too industrial. Agreed wood floors, and a warmer palette would be more inviting.
I do like the pool being indoor, but I think it could have been better oriented to open up to the outdoors.
Ok, the entire interior has a 1980’s cocaine bar vibe. 😂 Not that I’d know anything about that.😬
OMG!!! The distribution!!! Those poor bedrooms!! I thought it was a super-lazy design from the first images, but never imagined it was so much so!!
FINALLY. A tour where the presenter has the manners to take their shoes off before entering the house. Possibly my biggest peeve with Enes tours. Once I noticed it, i couldn't unsee it.
Enes actually has multiple pairs of the same shoe which he switches out during the shoots,that's what Mickey said in that horrible castle mcmansion tour at least.
What is your take on the pool cages they have all over Florida??
cool video. The property looks like the office for me, in this color pallete - look at the entrance, master bedroom, kitchen - god, seems like you live in an unfinished concrete office.
It's not fake, it's privet or box hedging. Very common in the UK. It cuts into very compact shapes. 50% off all houses have it. Very very common but it's not fake.
Privet is tender but possible in Seattle. It is beautiful and rare here. It gets nipped if pruned after July. Has lost ability to harden off then.
Wow another great video, Arvin continues to deliver the best videos!!!
The entryway feels like a service entrance at a mall. Was expecting a Zara behind one of those doors.
You obviously don’t know what UK weather is like especially up north. Having an outdoor pool means your pool might be warm enough to use 3 days a year. Also I bet the hedging round the fireplace might be to protect against windchill.
The pool can be heated and a pool cover helps trap the heat as well. It will be expensive to maintain but at with the price point of this particular home I’m sure pool costs are not an issue…
You can heat outdoor pools you know. Somebody with this amount of cash ain't gonna worry about a heating bill. Much the same as a Rolls-Royce owner worries about the price of petrol.
Don’t be a wanker
He said "hip height washing machines are useful", referring to the height of the doors so the operator doesn't need to constantly bend down.
This is not the most luxurious home in the UK. There are plenty homes in London that exceeds this by far, several with price tags well over £105.000.000 / $136.000.000. Not saying that this isn't impressive or anything, but the title is very wrong as the hidden description also mentions.
