I am continually amazed that people will spend this amount to live in London when the same amount could get you a fabulous estate elsewhere! Yes, the property is well done however given ULEZ and living cheek by jowl with neighbours, I personally think it is madness!
@naraithsil, i was thinking the same thing. Imagine what you could buy in the U.S. for this amount and acres of beautifully landscaped grass with 3 or 4 garages. i don't think the Brits are big on landscaping. i think they are happy with terraces. The homes are right on top of each other. i have seen some homes though where they are not on top of each other. Imagine if you had 2 big German Shepherds and when they start to bark because they hear or see something, the neighbors being so close together are not going to like the barking. But if you had 2 0r 3 acres of land surrounding your home, they are not going to be bothered by the barking as much!
You're a brilliant presenter Toby. You're well-informed and have a relaxed tone throughout. It's not about you as I've seen with other presenters. Beautiful home. Well presented.
not even worth a million if u ask me!!! dang... only the top floor bedroom has an acceptable ceiling heigth and even that bedroom is disappointing! I mean look at the depth of that desk 😂 I'm sorry but this is ridiculous
Those outdoor spaces are truly stunning, but I personally find the glossy & greige aesthetic throughout the interior to lack coziness and feel a bit too hotel-like.
Stunning property. However for me personally as beautiful as this I prefer open plan living spaces and larger spaces. Sad thing about these older buildings is they don't always offer that.
I like open plan living and larger spaces too. The spaces in the London apartments are too small. I like the Mansions in Surrey, Buckinghamshire, etc because they have the same luxurious interior design as the London properties but they have larger spaces.
I didn’t understand the custom hardware over the fifth bedroom’s sink. I must say, all of this was beautiful. A telly in every shower… wow! Even I’m blown away (and I do consume a lot of telly). The chandelier was so impressive with its length and sparkle that didn’t overwhelm or invade the line of sight. I think it’s good to have subtle elegance here and there. Thank you for the tour Toby!
This property is too pretensious, the rooms are tiny too much wasted space, no family kitchen..more for a bachelor who parties certainly not suitable for a family.
The interior design of that home was simply amazing. Not a bad place to rest your head at the end of the day. The only thing that stung was the price. Where I'm from (the American Midwest) that price gets you a lot of acres and a house with 3x or 4x more square feet.
Yup, it's how it is. I live in the NYC area and for 1mm (still a lot of money for most) you get a shoebox. Move right across the river from Manhattan and you get a LOT more. It''s the same everywhere.
Outside of the M25 which surrounds London that price will get you plenty of land trust me. Also Knightsbridge is one of the most elite areas of central London therefore the price is to be expected.
Yes! beautiful home with excellent taste, but the rooms were not that big and the yard did not have acres of land to it. Gorgeous home but overpriced for sure!
Love your presentation style, very professional and excellent knowledge. The house is amazing and of course Knightsbridge adds loads of zeros to the price tag but if I spent that amount of money i would be really unimpressed with the lack of privacy from all those other buildings with clear sight lines into almost every room. Love the channel, keep up the great content.
Beautifully finished and decorated, but all the rooms look really small with rather low ceilings. It also looks very much deprived of natural light. Fabulous postcode but not worth my £25mills (if I ever win the lottery…)
the slope ceiling are the issue. If you want speakers, maybe an AC unit e.g. in the ceiling you loose 15cm more likely 20cm without them the height would be decent.
@@freddie3206 the houses built in the sixties as this one was tend to - London was poor then, Britain was poor and the 'style' was thus to have low ceilings, victorian or Edwardian or Georgian houses have high ceilings.
if the ceiling is one or 2 feet higher it will create a even better sensation of such is cramp nterior. How do you feel when you sometime need to slight bend you head in such a lavish home?
Small, claustrophobic rooms, with low ceilings, windows with ugly views of other unattractive buildings, providing a flashy but cold and unfriendly atmosphere. Rather a letdown for so much money!
What's with all the tv sets?? Do people really need a tv to go to the toilet or even have a swim? How tacky is that! I live just a couple of houses from them and have no tv whatsoever.
Toby is either quite tall, or the ceilings are quite low, either way some of the rooms looked claustrophobic, so I wouldn't buy it if I had that kind of money.
Love this! I find with a lot of these types of properties the interiors to be so over the top that it almost makes them tacky! Painting everything gold doesn't mean it is nice! This on the other hand is subtle and tasteful!
For £25m, I expected the lower floor to have an entertainment and leisure, steam room, jacuzzi and bar area. Properties of this value I don't think will sell this days, the Russians, Africans, Arabs don't see Europe as a safe place to buy or invest in property.
Don't blame them when it seems the governments of some European countries will just take away your property because they do not like the actions of your country's leader regardless of what you actually even believe yourself.
It's really nice, I think they utilized the space well considering it's under 5,000sqft. Also, in the beginning I said there are 6 bedrooms & I only counted 5. Maybe I missed 1, but there was the staff bedroom, 2 rooms on the second floor, the master bedroom & the room on the top floor. Unless they consider that study area on the 2nd floor a bedroom or 1 of the other rooms that's being used as something else is considered a bedroom. Also u'd think the master would have room for a king sized bed. Don't get me wrong it's really lovely, it just seems a little cramped. Maybe it's just me because I'm claustrophobic & also I'm from U.S. & am used to having more open spaces. It just seems like for 25mil pounds there should be more space
You are right. A 25 million pound property should have more spaces. The London luxury properties always have small spaces but are super expensive. I think it's because it's in London. It's the same in New York City where the bedrooms are small. The property is overpriced for me. It should cost about £10,000,000.
Pretty sure they are counting the study as a bedroom, which is typical in setups like this. I think the study should be separate and not counted in the bedroom count.
Absolutely stunning... People on here moaning but even though I would spend my money on somewhere less urban. There are people in this world (sometimes dubious) who have 25 million to spend and want a central London location and already own numerous other properties... Plus think of the stamp duty/taxes going into government coffers...
Glitzy junk. I prefer my waterfront home with low tide pools, eagles, and oysters. 3200 sq ft. Modern. Quiet, private at 1/30th of the price. These places are ridiculous traps with persuasive agents who think they are movie stars. They are just salesmen. Get it salesmen!
So many fantastic things ! But I can only imagine the traces with so many mirrors 😱 And i love the volumes but the kitchen is so far from everything... And I can't help but hate that it's so exposed to the neighbours.
Some nice design features and clever use of space but this place is poky as hell, it's tiny! for a quarter of the price you'd get some thing twice the size, a garden(!) and a better view than a block of flats. I think you would be mad to buy this place.
@@TobyCorban Hi Toby! I think most Americans from the U.S. are going to complain about the low ceilings and the small rooms. Also, they would probably complain about not having acres and acres of land for that amount of money. That being said, what do you think of us Americans??? Are we crazy or what!
Not worth it, he's constantly looking like he nearly pass through door ways and certain area's, for the price, imagine what you could actually be able to get? Not sure what sort person needs this house, other needs to be in that precise location.
Heritage orders should apply to the interior as well as the exterior of these historical buildings! The interior designer has obliterated all the character of that classic old home and rendered it ugly, pretentious and boring. For shame!
Honestly for 25 mil this isn’t great. Low ceiling dark interior hardly any natural light plus the ground floor sitting area at the back … even in east Belfast we have bigger back gardens.
Great video Toby! Just one thing - on the floorplans it says there is a cinema area between the pool and the gym but you don't feature this in the video, is there any reason why?
The kicthen was quite small for that size house.If they had joined perhaps a study and another room together the space would have been bigger for the living spaces, but they are more focused on having a bedroom count of 6.
Hi Toby, just the introduction of this home is sensational…. The Architects and designers are visionaries…. Just incredible…. Great presentation by the way.
@@TobyCorban Just a thought … So many TV’s in this property but the way the main TV in the lounge was hidden behind those mirrors that would have been a great idea in my favourite penthouse property you have presented directly behind the London Eye…. In there the lounge and dinning area was divided by open fire surrounded by mirrors …. Surprisingly that penthouse is still available at a £17M …. I’ve just put £25 online one of the Australian Lotteries at 160M Australian Dollar jackpot which equals £90M tax free, if I win I will be giving you a call for that Penthouse ….. haha.
I guess the £24 millions of the price is for living around the corner from Harrods! I don’t know, all I know that I’ll make a crap millionaire, I’ve gotten too comfortable with being broke all my life! Anyway, being born and bred in East London, if I had the dough to buy a mansion, seriously Greater London will be the last place I buy a property in. Don’t get me wrong, London is a great grey and expensive city to live in, especially if you’re a drunk and like the seedy side of the city-life, but I want more wild-life to see the end of my days. And can somebody tell me why is London 10% larger than when I was born? London seems to be growing larger each year.
I’m a bit confused with the kitchen and dining set up. The kitchen is really far from the dining and on different floors. I know the staff would probably bring the food up but if you wanted to cook yourself for friends or family it’s so far away to sit and eat. Love the pool,gym and spa set up.Bit OTT with every shower with a TV.would I buy it if I had the money 🤔 maybe, a good contender in Knightsbridge.
