Are there any high-end period properties left in London that have had their interiors sympathetically restored (tour a few of those please, if there are any) rather than gutted, over-modernized and with all semblance of character removed like this one? It looks like a hotel not a home 😒
I think the same. It looks like houses in London are very modern inside and too bright when it comes to lighting and furniture. I wish we could see more of the tradition high-end properties in England. It’d more charming.
@ David, You read my mind, such a travesty when these beautiful character houses are completely destroyed by unimaginative and bland interiors 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Actually I was quite surprised to see that the traditional, unique interior character had been stripped and replaced with the common modern decorating theme.
@@mw8653 people always say overpriced when they can't afford it. The price of ANYTHING is what someone is prepared to pay. Whether it's a £1.5M Ferrari or £100m footballer or a £200M yacht or a £12M 7 bed town house in Mayfair. Poor people can't relate to wealth or how the rich live
Maybe because rich elites people who bought this kind of place loves to lived in the bunker. You know, the safety feeling, isolated from angry peasants who eagerly want to put their fancy wobble snob heads into guillotine.
7 narrow boxes, on top of each other, in beige... For 12 million pounds... No. Great channel though, always interesting to see inside these places. Keep up the good work.
I live in a 4 bedroomed Georgian house in Italy, with a tasteful amount of marble. Two hours South of Rome. I’m down the road from shops and bars, it’s in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and I have Mountain Views for miles around. The air is clean, and the village is very pretty. Price of property? €80,000. Who needs to be round the corner from Harrods? 🤷🏻♀️
How about including a natural light UV lamp? This house is claustrophobic. Knock one or two floors out to make it more habitable. PS: the bathroom mriror storage is called a medicin cabinet, right @CashJordan? ;)
this is hilarious... can you imagine dropping twelve tanks for a set of stairs...!!! If anyone buys this for £12M they are having issues. This is as undesirable as it gets
12 million great British pounds for a front door that opens straight into the living room 😂 we hated that even in our uni house in Stoke! Crazy what people will deal with just to live in London
Well presented video, as always.. I personally am not too fond of narrow London houses which have the same width as a decent terrace in some other town (which will cost 50x less!) but they have done really well with what they have. On a side note, if you do live in a normal terrace, this does make you wonder how smart you could make it!
The area is amazing and the garden too. Each floor is obviously tight in area, but the interior design with too much yellow (eighties theme) makes you feel dizzy and claustrophobic. I think with a re-design, introducing more white, green or blue colors would be a much needed help for this house. As is, the house looks like a hotel with such a lack of character.
really not for me. I’m all for space and peaceful atmosphere and that was too encroaching and tight. £12M seems an outrageous amount to spend on that, but then I’ve never bought into the “location” premium. On that budget I would buy and renovate a mansion for £1-2M and invest the rest in investments.
I like the interior design, even with the challenging layout of the property it turned out 👌 I guess its the location that is the main reason for commanding a high price, looks like there is space to extend the building both height and depth, hope the new owners do.
Unlike the property shown here (narrow, tall, crammed), some of the houses on Hans Place are like giant hotels once you're inside. A couple of them even have huge underground swimming pools. The house right next door used to be massive but has since then been converted into individual flats.
I think problem with older London terraced is that they tend to low ceilings and be built on several levels which doesn't really accommodate modern life styles and expectations of marble surfaces and state of the art equipment . You need a big Victorian or Edwardian house to do that.
What is the point of having a lift that does not take you straight into the living area(& Garden )or the kitchen, the two most important areas to be able to get access to!!
I am in the design business - personally, I would blast through some walls! Also what I found uncomfortable - it was like multiple shades of "biscuit". All for 12 M hmm - it is lacking in imagination.
you guys did a fantastic job showing us the house in that tight space..! they designers made great use of the space but a kitchen with no windows.. that kitchen level does not work at all, low ceiling and lack of light.. should have had the kitchen where the living area was leading out to the garden, and used the next floor up with the balcony for the living room.. the interior design was nice but bad use of main living space.. 12 million, not worth it you're dropping 4mil just for the location..
No matter how many times the MC says 'home' it never feels like one. It is a hotel - all the rooms are bedrooms, there are teeve screens everywhere (who one earth needs a tv in the foyer). And he even calls the entrance a reception. Two cloakrooms? All that beige and brown! The 'study' is a broom closet and no real living areas or entertainment areas. No art or individuality.
Who designs the layouts of these houses? This is absolutely horrific. It’s clearly not because they are working with old construction, since the interior was gut to the shell. Hallways into hallways, stairs leading to stairs, awkward spaces, dark windowless rooms, a lift that’s almost useless cuz it doesn’t access half the house, and 1/4 of the time it needs a door so you don’t enter into private space from the lift. It’s like a badly laid out house was combined with a badly laid out hotel, keeping only the worst of both. The layout is so bad, you could have a property 1/2 the size, and still have the same amount of usable space.
London living makes no sense 😅 if you line a sardine tin with velvet, it's still a sardine tin. But then again these are the same people who pay £12k for a pair of nikes made in China with a Dior sticker on the side
I think it's an awful house. But I don't like the way that sounds negative, only because I really enjoy the channel and the videos, but of course each of us has a different view. I also know that London is ridiculously overpriced. But the presenter could hardly walk through any of the doors without bending his head, the corridors were so narrow that you would have to be as slim as him to get through, it's totally unsuitable for small children or a young family because of the stairs. It's also completely disjointed in its layout with a distinct feeling of mismatched bathrooms against a laundry room next to something that perhaps is a cupboard. Also noticeable is that the rooms individually are, in many cases, very small. As the chap himself said, he would prefer to make one of the bedrooms an office because what was laid out as an office is actually a small cupboard. Whilst the fitout and finishings and furnishings are clearly very high-end, I have no idea why anybody would think this was worth 12 million pounds. Each to his own I guess but I'd be interested to know who would buy it for anything other than investment.
The kitchen should have been an indoor swiming pool with the kitchen having french doors to the garden. Silly silly planning. The errors are so obvious.
£12M lease ? No light No windows Pokey and small Powder room ? Bog ? Lift doesn't go down ffs? Overlooked ? Even Brazzers would question this as a film location !
I thought it was nice would change the lay out though. Too many bedrooms for one .. I'd make it like three or four and have a cinema room a gym. Looks as if there trying to get as many bedrooms in one building as they can. Be ok for putting up immigrants with having seven bedrooms.
I'm sorry, this has no warmth and for the price, it is much too narrow. The entire residence is claustrophobia inducing. And how about at least one real fireplace? And some grass, not dirt, in the garden?
What always makes me laugh is the size of the garden area and the fact that there are houses overlooking the garden. We were not wealthy growing up but my mum would never buy a house overlooked by any other property and the more back garden, the better. But these people never live in the property so it doesn't matter anyway. I love the huge houses on the surrey borders of London.
Unique property but not the best review on your channel, a lot of waffle which you’ll humbly agree with. Summer would of done a better job for sure but I’m confident you’ll improve over time, just loosen up and get your personality across.
Not a great place to live full time especially if have a family, but great investment for a rich foreigner to park their money away from their government. And of course the location is a good part of the price tag. For all those people in the comments section who are saying it's over priced, remember the price of ANYTHING is what someone is prepared to pay, whether it's a £1.5M Ferrari or a £200M yacht or a £100M footballer or a £12M 7 bed Mayfair townhouse. I know it's difficult for the average person who is worried about their energy bills increasing by £300-400 a month to comprehend how wealthy people live and what they buy and for what reason
This house does not flow at all . If you were prepared to spend such a lot of money, who would actually buy this? It doesn't work at all .. regardless of how much marble and bedrooms... it's basically a house of stairs and beds !
It’s so narrow it makes it claustrophobic and it’s not even that nice. Where do you park your car? Someone is making an absolute killing with these prices. 77 billionaires, where did they come from?
That is so pretentious and vulgar for them to mention how many billionaires are in the area. It doesn’t matter how much money someone has, it is what’s in their 💚 that matters.

@@Mrgaston016indeed!
I totally agree. Whatever character there may have been has been completely removed and the whole property sanitized.

Well to put in a single word this home is a MONSTROSITY at any price point. May be good for a stay overnight once a while but that's it
$12M for a windowless rabbit warren?? How utterly horrifying. I feel claustrophobic just watching-and I design tiny homes for a living!
More like 15 million dollars. It's ridiculous.
Exactly my thoughts definitely only worth £12 in London's overpriced property market.
insulting....

What you get for living in london mate. Location is the number one decider on how much the property is no matter what condition or the size

The kitchen looks like an underground bunker with no natural light
Dont like a kitchen without windows
It is lovely and your paying for the area. Nicely done.

The grey/beige color scheme is so boring. It's nice for an hotel or airbnb but not as a house.
The space feels so cold and flat, where is the warmth and comfort.💚
really not for me.

Los 12 millones es por las escaleras y el ascensor, es una casa pequeña y asfixiante , no podría estar en una cocina sin ventana al exterior 😬
Windows need good soundproofing.The knightsbridge square is favourite circuit for Supercar drivers
CLAUSTROPHOBIC all the WAYYYY!!!! I CAN’T with this house. Just because it’s close to Harrod’s…… ABSOLUTELY NOT 🙅🏾♀️
WiFi signal must be brutal in that house 🤦🏻
Fabulous presentation 👏 👌. Absolutely fantastic 👏
To be fair, ladies and gents (and whatever between), if you bought the place, you could changed the decoration then decorate it whatever you liked.
Absolutely beautiful interior, stunning home, very well done
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One Word: Claustrophobic
I like the interior design, even with the challenging layout of the property it turned out 👌
I guess its the location that is the main reason for commanding a high price,
looks like there is space to extend the building both height and depth, hope the new owners do.
It bland could be any place in the world .No character😂
£12m for 7-bed, decent size, garden and nice interior, near harrods… It’s actually a bargain
London worth living !? 🤔
Nice work guys
The door frames are hitting your head😂.
Damn...This Townhouse is🤯
Unlike the property shown here (narrow, tall, crammed), some of the houses on Hans Place are like giant hotels once you're inside. A couple of them even have huge underground swimming pools. The house right next door used to be massive but has since then been converted into individual flats.
Looks very cramped
Err no thanks. Where are the original features?
I think it’s a beautiful home. Especially in London, lots of rooms fir friends and family x
I think problem with older London terraced is that they tend to low ceilings and be built on several levels which doesn't really accommodate modern life styles and expectations of marble surfaces and state of the art equipment . You need a big Victorian or Edwardian house to do that.
Beautiful House!👌
Nice cozy home, can see myself living here, which is the master bedroom only downside is it does not have a pool or entertainment area
They should turn this into a high end invitation only store for the interior decorators who did a marvellous job. As for a place to live - NO!!!!
This is so stressful to manoeuvre 😂 also the lifts take up so much room when you have stairs 🤷🏻♂️
Awful renovation - beige and brown .......... No style and all original features lost. Very sad these so called designers get away with it.
You take the lift to take the stairs? So well thought out. 😂 What an odd layout. You need to have the lights on all day to see where you're going.
I see brozovic has a passion for house seeing
You are such an amazing presenter, however the home could do with more brighter interiors as it's giving a hotel vibe I hope it sells
it's like the tardis
small from the outside
humongous on the inside 🤣
Will sell at a massive discount.
The lift doesn't save you from needing to climb a lot of stairs in the end lol
I liked the quirkiness of the maze like house, but it was too modern for me
Its nice ....but not for 12 million more of a 8 million.....i was expecting more space.....its has nice cosy, nice interior...
What is the point of having a lift that does not take you straight into the living area(& Garden )or the kitchen, the two most important areas to be able to get access to!!
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
I am in the design business - personally, I would blast through some walls! Also what I found uncomfortable - it was like multiple shades of "biscuit". All for 12 M hmm - it is lacking in imagination.
Rather get a detached house in surrey, dulwich or bromley keston
this house reminded me Chand Baori (step well)
“Powder room!” 🤔😅 ...... location amazing, house? dark, confusing and gr8 for your steps if you don’t use the lift! 😉
you guys did a fantastic job showing us the house in that tight space..! they designers made great use of the space but a kitchen with no windows.. that kitchen level does not work at all, low ceiling and lack of light.. should have had the kitchen where the living area was leading out to the garden, and used the next floor up with the balcony for the living room.. the interior design was nice but bad use of main living space.. 12 million, not worth it you're dropping 4mil just for the location..

A windowless kitchen ? Yikes
This is probably the worst house you guys have visited yet 😂😅
I wouldn’t buy this for 1m
It’s like a stacked shoebox property! 12m is crazy.
I mean you're paying for the land more than the building itself
@@srbs73 inclined to agree. Too narrow for my taste and despite lift seems rather tiring
Paying for location I wouldn't pay 12mill
Probably one of many houses for people who would buy this. If I had £12m, it wouldn’t be spent in London.
Its a dark dungeon

I love the floors, marble, wood and how it has been decorated 😊 🫶🇨🇦
12m for the area not the house too narrow
Powder room? It’s a toilet!!!
The garden needs a bit of work !
What a weird layout - must have been a great house before refurbishment - so many stairs ! - so claustrophobic !
V nice terraced house
my best it suffered a direct hit in the Blitz and was completely rebuilt post war. Your Codogen was good. try again
bet (sorry)
This house gives off the vibe of a hotel, not a home. 😢
If I had 12 millions pounds I’d buy a great property somewhere else and lived of the rest :)
Lovely ❤
London living makes no sense 😅 if you line a sardine tin with velvet, it's still a sardine tin. But then again these are the same people who pay £12k for a pair of nikes made in China with a Dior sticker on the side

Absolutely stunning interior, beautiful home in a fantastic location
Yet completely impractical for living in and £12m
The kitchen should have been an indoor swiming pool with the kitchen having french doors to the garden. Silly silly planning. The errors are so obvious.
'1:43 - The Americanness?'
£12M lease ?
No light
No windows
Pokey and small
Powder room ? Bog ?
Lift doesn't go down ffs?
Overlooked ?

12 million for that....I would be in the country with 9 million in my pocket
I’m just not feeling it- all the pokey rooms and stairs and lack of any real height on the lower floors
The house is to beige
Too dark for me waste of money
How do you register yourself as a billionaire 😂
I like the en-suite bathrooms. They have windows.
$12,000,000 seems a biiitt much
sorry but its soooo claustrophobic omg if there was a fire in that house, how would you get out!!!🤔but its not worth the money
Ok, I got lost. Seriously!
It’s very beige! The designers aren’t very colorful!
Bidet ?
cozy.. can imagine myself living here with the family. i don't think it's worth 12quid tho.
