You'd have to. Which is N/A kuz you'll never even come close to having anywhere near that amount of money. Some people, however, would like it as is. Other people do have different taste to you, you know..
Wow to be able to only need 2 bedrooms in that home with what looks like a large family of potential visitors from the photos says a lot about the family’s wealth, huge and impressive space for London
Indeed. It was the home of a very influential billionaire investment banker who passed away three years ago. His family has extensive properties around the world and perhaps didn't see the need to keep a leasehold house in Eaton Square.
Each to their own. I think if you hadn't collected the pieces around the house or been involved in choosing the internal decor you would find this very hard to live with on a day-to-day basis.
Nah, it's owned by either European or an American..didn't you notice a pic of the lady of the house with Michelle Obama? As for ppl from the ME, well, one of the first things they look for is a lift..as they have huge families with older members. But this is configured as a 2 bed house, so definitely not someone from the ME or even anywhere in the East.
Looks like it is designed for Indian or Chinese, very gaudy. Proof money doesn't buy taste, lots of marble that doesn't flow well with other colours. Only the library looks half decent but even that needs ceiling redesigned.
Gobsmacked is the word I'm looking for, I guess. Amy did a phenomenal job for keeping a straight face. I would be hysterical. How would somebody end up with a decor like this is beyond me. I think you would get your money back if you organised tours and charged a tenner per visitor! Well, it may take 100 years
The 1800s Aristocratic interior actually looks pretty nice in some parts of the house. I'd say the house is worth 10 million at most which means the rest 30 million value is for the Location, Location, Location 🤑🤑🤑
Host describes the outdoor terrace as a “sun trap”… impossible considering it is a north facing garden with no exposure to sun at all on the rear elevation… 🤷🏻♂️
Imagine spending 40m for a property that doesn't have an indoor swimming pool., off street parking, cinema room and barely a garden. The place looks cluttered and dated plus your wall to wall with your neighbours!
Love the location and the phenomenal size of the house - but the decor and interior is vulgar and tacky. I am sure it is very very expensive but personal preference is minimalist and neutral colours.
AMY great job as always on the tours that you do, sorry this certainly is way too ornate for my liking, do like the room sizes and the bones of the structure, could use a complete remodel, Besides contemporary one of my main styles is 1930's ART DECO this would like stunning in that style, like the stone pillars in the living room and the skylights though!! And again you are paying for the premier location and size of the actual property!! GREAT SEEING THAT LOVELY SMILE WHEN YOU SAT DOWN ON THE SOFA, KEEP UP WITH THE GREAT TOURS AMY!!😀💯👍
I’m not disappointed by the interior. Love this! There must be so much of the owner’s history in this home, unlike houses that the wealthy only buy to park as an asset.
This is NOT antique... everything is just a little "off", a little TOO modern, in proportion. Still inspite of being overdone, it has a certain charm...
Looks like it was styled by someone born in 1850. Never seen such an expensive house with such ugly decor. Seems like somewhere you would expect someone like Jacob Reese Mogg to live. 40 mil for what is essentially a terraced house is also a bit of a joke.
The up keep of the house will be almost an impossible task, based on the complexity of decor, such as chandeliers & wall clock with unusual cutouts & many more.
I love this presenter, great pace and tone. More of Amy ! As for the house, £40m to buy and youll then need another 5-6m to redo that ghastly interior.
Just removing every piece of furniture along with the pictures & portraits would make a dramatic change for the better. It's would make a remarkably beautiful home with just a bit of reimagining after that.
It seems more a museum than a home. Personally I could never feel at home in a place like that. Fullfilling a house of marble doesn't means good taste!! 👎🏻
I like it for thst reason tbh Often I've gone to castles and felt like I'd love to live there, not changing any of the decor lol. Past life vibes, maybe 🤣
Dear The Luxury Home Show! I really like your videos! But please for the love of god, can you guys use less of the slow mo effect, specially when the presenter on the screen. Its often looks stupid then awesome .
The upstairs living room is the only room I like, with its wood-panelled walls and giant curvy sofa. The rest of the house has way too much marble and more of a museum feel than a home. I've always been curious to see inside an Eaton Square house. The Grosvenor Group owns most of the freeholds on Eaton Square, owned by the young Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster. One interesting feature of this square is the sheer number of security guards who patrol up and down the pavement outside these houses. I counted 8 security guards if you include both sides of the square.
I understand the house was done to complement the era, however I would get a headache living here. It’s like a Christmas tree with way too much tinsel. Would have been good to show the kitchen.
Thankfully a decor that reflects the period of the house. Not done perfectly by any means but at least the house has not been destroyed and a soulless ugly modern interior imposed which is so often the case.
I know that you think bigger and more expensive is better but i subscribed while you were Mat and Summer and touring more down to earth places, which was really refreshing after watching american mansions all the time.
I would transform some of the room into guest rooms. But generally I like the vibe of the interior, taking me back to Victorian age. I just can't believe the toilet on the ground floor would look like that.
Eaton square in Belgravia?! Has this got something to do with that good looking Duke Westminster? Also I've been up for a day and I'm so tired my eyes saw the price as 40k. I narrowed my eyes thinking there must have been some sort of hardcore haunting going on there for it to be that price, then I realised I was just exhausted.
Lovely property. I just LOVE It ❤️....of course I would change its decoration.....a little bit. The property is amazing ! Perfect location !!!! 🇬🇧 #Belgravia
Don’t think I’ve seen anything as hideous as the ground floor, albeit it did get better on the higher floors. Amy has a good presenting style but a couple of things. A “food lift” is a called a dumb waiter’ and the 101 Dalmatian bathroom two toilets, one was a bidet
It’s surprising that local English people in the comments see this kind of interior design as old and outdated while as a foreigner it well depicts the old Great Britain feel which is fancy and classic and very much worth the price
Gave it another go and it makes me want to clean. Absolutely hate it but I love to clean so I would have some fun ripping appart every decoration, furniture etc. Put i on fire outside then get rid of this ugly profanity of marble.
This is undoubtedly one of the most stunning properties I've ever seen in my life - stunningly ghastly that is. A massive migraine inducing blinged to the max shrine to bad taste. The sort of thing Donald and Melania would look at and say "I think you've maybe over done it a bit" The previous owner - Moldovan Oligarch or perhaps a Columbian Drug Cartel Head - has clearly spared no expense in vomiting as much chintz at every surface as humanly possible. Step 1 - buy it and insure it for 60m Step 2 - pay one of your criminal underworld contacts to have it burnt to the ground Step 3 - pocket a cool 20m and buy something that vaguely resembles a home at least
The owner was not an oligarch or in drugs but a pretty remarkable Iraqi businessman, who died a couple of years ago. Bad taste or not his list of accomplishments is long and impressive. He had children and grandchildren, who can read these comments
@@lala-ct9ir A few things. First off, it's the internet you could be anyone, forgive me if I don't automatically assume any of the above is true or you knew this amazing Iraqi and his family. As incredible as it sounds - and I hope you're sitting down for this - people sometimes make stuff up online to get attention. Mind blown I'm sure 🙄 But I'll play along for now and let's assume you were actually best buds with this gazillionaire with questionable 🙄 taste in interior design. I doubt he gives a fling f#ck what some random in this comments section thinks. Especially since as you say - he's dead now. The dead are generally hard to offend. As for his children who apparently will be offended on his behalf I think it's a bit of a stretch to assume they're subscribers to some random property vlogger and spend their days scouring the comments section for any perceived slights. In short - you're being absolutely ridiculous. Try not to take life quite so seriously.
@@kaitlyn1689 Aren't you here watching videos of multimillionaires' homes? Or did I misunderstand? Is it a research project on inequality and social justice?
Belgravia , that is to say Eaton, is simply my favorite location in London... east London is gorgeous. I don't mind period architecture matter of fact I love it. However, I'm not a fan of modern - its lack of detail is sold as uncluttered, right... how about just uncluttered between the ears. But this is just over the top gaudy and conspicuous... But again, is the counterbalance, the push towards modern has been so pervasive in london, going the opposite direction may have a benefit.
Only one word could ever describe that interior: ghastly.
I agree
It's classy and a refreshing break from minimalism.
I guess one person's 'classy' is another person's trashy, or ghastly.
You'd have to spend a few more millions to make it tasteful again.
You'd have to. Which is N/A kuz you'll never even come close to having anywhere near that amount of money.
Some people, however, would like it as is.
Other people do have different taste to you, you know..
Haha yes indeed
You’re not wrong. It’s hideous. My guess is they’re trying to appeal to a Saudi prince who will no doubt snap it up and then forget they even own it.
Pfff 😂 true...
And just around the corner you can find a few homeless people
😯I think you'll need another 40 Million to make it look nice
😂😂😂😂😂😂

I've seen a few London homes like this. The ornate opulence is really too much for me - I'd get a headache if I had to wake up to it every morning.
Ya, it ain’t pretty.
Love the exterior, love the location but........horrendous interior 😂
The interior of the houses matches the owners personality
Ghastly, boring, horrible, old fashioned , dull, stubborn, ugly ....
Each to their own. I think if you hadn't collected the pieces around the house or been involved in choosing the internal decor you would find this very hard to live with on a day-to-day basis.
i agree. it looks bloody awful to me
@@tonyclifton265 I was thinking; imagine doing the removals for a place like that. You'd need about a dozen removals vans.
House interior is shocking but more of Amy please 👍🏽
I think it must be darts legend Bobby George that is selling it! 😉... proof that you can't buy class.
To be honest - this house is essentially missing two things: taste and an explosion chamber.
Could not imagine ANYONE from the UK purchasing this home with its interiors ? Must be from the Middle East ?
Nah, it's owned by either European or an American..didn't you notice a pic of the lady of the house with Michelle Obama? As for ppl from the ME, well, one of the first things they look for is a lift..as they have huge families with older members.

@@sithlordrj8883 I spotted Arabic calligraphy on one of the walls. There is a lift.
Perhaps the owner is Russian. More money that taste.
@@alanmckibbin5862 The home is flamboyant but no taste …their women are beautiful
Nah. Photo's on fireplace don't point to Middle East.
Looks like it is designed for Indian or Chinese, very gaudy. Proof money doesn't buy taste, lots of marble that doesn't flow well with other colours. Only the library looks half decent but even that needs ceiling redesigned.
Money and taste are two VERY separate things

Probably a Russian oligarch
@@gwendolyn7462 You must be 60 years old then.
totally agree,it is awful,the next owners will spend a fortune just bringing it up to date,
@@axnlogix pretty close---and still kick'n TAKE THAT!!!!!
Amy did a really good job with this video presentation.
Thanks Philip!
Not for me! But I can appreciate the quality of decor of this property 👍🏼
The entrance is incredible when you walk in. Nice place. My favourite place in London so far though has been the Belvedere Gardens penthouse.
I mean my God, this is so beautiful and exquisite!
I had no idea Liberace had a London home.
@@johnsmith8906 😂😂😂🤣
Amy is so well spoken and sophisticated
There is traditional, and there is outdated, this is the latter. Definitely Eastern European or Middle Eastern ownership.
Great upload. The interior is really nice. I like this house. I'm looking forward to the next video. 😄
I love the decor. It is a welcome change from the other expensive flats which just feature beige, beige and more beige.
It is definitely impressive, but living there I would constantly feel like I’m in an episode of Downton Abbey.
This nightmare makes Downton Abbey look homey and understated.
5:35 lovely
4:09 WOWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I suspect, currently owned by a Middle Eastern person. Would be very interested to know if I’m correct.
I thought russian.
@@soniaferreira2811 Whoever the owner is, they probably think that ostentation is a valid substitute for good taste.
Absolutely stunning property! Congratulations!!
4:52 and it just keeps getting better

"London Exterior, Emirates Interior" - Sure there's nicer properties in London and the surrounding areas for 10% of the asking price of this place.

Definitely!
Didn't know kitsch was that expensive.
WOW This is the one for me!
the principal bedroom so awesome 🤌🏻

This is a recent reno, babe. Probabably Arab. They would gild their camels, if they could.
This is NOT antique... everything is just a little "off", a little TOO modern, in proportion. Still inspite of being overdone, it has a certain charm...
It's a nice refreshing break from ultramodern minimalism.

You get a £5M Mews House thrown in at that price don't forget 🤣
1850 ? You're being really nice here, i'd say around 1700-1750...
It's got little to do with any past century or Englishman, everything to do with Middle Eastern taste in interior design.
The up keep of the house will be almost an impossible task, based on the complexity of decor, such as chandeliers & wall clock with unusual cutouts & many more.
I love this presenter, great pace and tone. More of Amy ! As for the house, £40m to buy and youll then need another 5-6m to redo that ghastly interior.

I would move in tomorrow
All that’s missing here is Count Dracula and his Coffin, then the decor will be complete.
Just removing every piece of furniture along with the pictures & portraits would make a dramatic change for the better. It's would make a remarkably beautiful home with just a bit of reimagining after that.
My right ear loves her voice and my left ear likes the music.
@3:30 you get exclusive access to car shows ?? Yayyyy. ❤ Bob Mann LTD
It seems more a museum than a home. Personally I could never feel at home in a place like that.

i agree 100% so many homes these days lose their charm by modern designs i just think modern is soulless and empty in my opinion
Very palatial, but I'd be overwhelmed by the amount of visual information within a week living there.

Correct, the young Duke of Westminster owns most of the freeholds. You can only buy long leases of these houses.
2:50 I guess 23 is the new 8 with that short skirt, but with the black leggings, it actually looks classy. No 30 year old plus could pull that off
What a splendid example of tasteless.

Beautiful ❤️
I love when the entire comment section is united in hating an interior 🤣
Absolutely hideous interior, it's like Lawrence Lewellyn Bowen on a bad acid trip!
This one or the Heathfield Park Mansion in Hampstead London?
Same price but there's a big difference.
The current owners clearly have more money than sense, the decor is hideous
Yuk. Money doesn’t buy taste.
i can live forever in this house
2 OFFICIAL bedrooms--I guess all his friends stayed at hotels
Sanctions sure have opened the market up in this neighborhood.
Gave it another go and it makes me want to clean. Absolutely hate it but I love to clean so I would have some fun ripping appart every decoration, furniture etc. Put i on fire outside then get rid of this ugly profanity of marble.
