Narrow entryways with an immediate view of a staircase is very British. Also consider the Frank Lloyd Wright concept of "hold and release" - a tight entry way that opens to a bigger space. In my personal home, I have a similar concept with a front entryway mud room.
In fairness there's a lot of interior detailing around doors, cornices, etc. Obviously no one's going to mistake it for an Edwardian building, but i don't think that's what they meant. Don't get me wrong, I get your point. I just think that the reality of balancing classic and modern is not easy and depends on priorities.
Hi Tom!! I would take the Ferrari... for the Sunday blast and the Bentley as my everyday driver!!👍🙂... Beautiful home!! I especially love the way you can walk straight through the home from the front door and into the garden!! Great presentation as ever!!👍🙂
@denog_yt11 errrm ..... no lool no nail tech no matter how hard they work in no way shape or form could they afford this lool ...cute saying but no, makes no sense lool
It is actually pretty well priced for the road it is in,. However it was built in a neighbour s garden, as a few houses on this road have been, so it can look at bit like that. Lots of people are selling off part of their garden as a building plot.
People would do well to take Kirsty Allsop's advice about kitchen islands. She said whatever size island you want, halve it. The islands in that kitchen were ridiculously huge, and to have two seemed excessive!
Beautiful house and very well done. I have two gripes and they are very big. The drive looks poorly finished or unfinished and should be a resin drive with boarder. Corner cutting. The second island is way too big and over kill and makes the room very cluttered when it’s actually a very big space. And the dark colours with that island makes it look even more cluttered. Still love the colour choices it just doesn’t work when the space is packed up like that. Hopefully it’s tiled underneath and not secured to the floor so it can be removed.
I live near this house and It was built on land from the neighbours garden. It was also on the market recently for £2 million. In fairness although I personally think the interior design is cold and dated and I also agree with the tarmac drive issue that everyone is mentioning, it is worth the money and it is the value in the road. I was recently looking at a house on the same side of the road, built in the 1920s, which needs a complete gut and re do, literally everything doing and that is on the market for a million . There is nothing Edwardian about the house, other than the neighbouring houses and when you drive past its a bit of an eyesore. However it is still worth the money, for someone who likes that sort of thing. It would never be my taste - I think by the way the windows look cheap and the kitchen has AEG appliance - super cheap. I agree on the two island, total design fault , total waste of time. For those people talking about pools and gyms and later gardens, you are talking £3 million plus in this area for these features.
So, is there are plethora of car rental companies in the UK who only lend cars to thirsty real estate agents filming adverts for their properties? Got a subpar new-build to sell? Rent a Bentley for an hour! Honorable mention, at least for staging “luxury” properties here in the US: Hermès blankets, empty Chanel shopping bags and the ubiquitous Louis Vuitton coffee table book.
Staging properties in the UK is a relatively new thing. Only until a few years ago, much of these would be basic ordinary home sales or off market sales. It was more about discretion, and less flamboyance in UK & Europe. And Open Houses did not exist either until recently. Now, the market seems to be experimenting with this.
7.40 - the utility room has white basic sockets if am buying a house over £1 million I expect better and the house is small lack of privacy in the garden. Shite
It’s crazy… I miss the post Pandemic Mortgage rates, those were good times ! The market correction has been massive and with the impending recession it seems like things are only going to get worse.
You can say that again! I have pity for people who spend above 50% of their take home on rent, to think that things aren’t really looking up for the economy and inflation is driving the average cost of living to insane highs, a lot of people might not be able to get through the coming phase.
@@DavidHardman-ew3gj Well that’s why financial literacy is really paramount, as much as the market can be quite unpredictable and a lot of variables have to be considered while making decisions, one still has to be aware of the basic principles that govern these things in order to avoid obvious pitfalls.
@@LilianScott-dy5nz True, personally I work with an expert financial planner, been with him for years and he saw most of these things coming. Working with him has been the best decision of my life! He Adviced me to buy a Condo in Tampa for $100k in 2020, as of 2022 it was worth almost $200k, and he helped me structure the fin-plan to pay it off, now it’s paid off.

Always the same in these £1m+ homes...kitchen in an open plan space with soft furnishings. not good when cooking anything with a string smell. It will get into the fabric 🤦🏻♀️
Catering staff and chefs in a £1.7m property lol….a couple of doctors on PAYE could buy this not Elon Musk haha!!! This house has zero character sorry guys not for me…but I’ll have the Ferrari over my 2017 R8 please
Tom & Jaz are NOT professional presenters, agents or ANYTHING. They must have seen others doing the same and thought to copy them lol. Ridiculous to think they drove the Ferrari a bit and got out of the Bentley just to think they own it
1. its just a box; for that amount of money surely they could have built something with more square footage, and with a better architectural style? 2. Why are the ceilings so LOW? Feels like you're trapped... 3. The use of pediment door casing, and ceiling cornices are historically inaccurate, and screams "I've built cheaply but adding this will make it look luxury" lol 4. The second island in the kitchen makes no sense, why not just have a banquette? 5. Why on earth would you use those beautiful fixtures on PAINTED wood cabinets? 6. CARPET? In 2024? WTH are we going back to the 1970s?? lmao 7. OMG Every time he walks through a door way I think he's going to hit his head, lol 8. The extensive use of marble tile in the bathrooms is gross; reminds me of the gaudy Trump gold toilets 9. Did he say "Incredible size" @ 12:02? LMAO...maybe for the UK but that building is a rather small single family home here in the United States. 10. That bedroom @12:57 is SO small, my god you can barely walk around the bed before hitting the wall with the windows. Overall, definitely not worth that price. You wouldn't be able to sell that here in the US for even 1/2 that price given the preceding elements. Here's an architectural history lesson that the builders of this home SHOULD have known, but clearly did not: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M7fQesIHPY4.htmlfeature=shared
Awful house, never justifies that price. There is a lot of land but the house size is awful in terms of the use of the land space. Better thing would have been to secure the property from the neighbours/outside and rebuild the house in the centre of the land. The two cars together outside almost are the same length as the entire house!
Why only one bath? I feel if you can only have one bath in a property, it should be in the family bathroom not the primary bedroom ensuite. No matther how nice a property is, this lack of detail and practicality, always puts me off...I'm a long soak, wine and audio book, bath person 😂
Awful drive, put me off straight away. Kitchen units are terrible. Is this house modern as there are so many old features in it. I reckon an old man designed it and then a younger person tried to make it modern.
I think that's hard to say,because Cheshire (UK) doesn't get too much Sun frm the Kick off'. apart from a few weeks of crazy humidity& Temps in the unpredictable Summer! .But i think overall it's a really nice& tasteful new build ( those Bathrooms were so bright& clean looking & the Garden would have plenty of space for my 4 Gsd& 2 Lgd!! Security is paramount!
It would be a nice house to buy if all the personal Effects and furniture was left in it so when you get the keys you have nothing to do apart from moving in I always find your furniture never fits in the new home the same.. I believe the way forward is to build new homes and then get a designer in to furnish then,
Another thing I just noticed are the very cheap white socket faceplates, light switches and TV outlet's. No doubt they are BG brand and not even MK lol
why are the ceilings so low on the first floor? Prefer gas. I abhor elec. And I'm suprised for a "bespoke" kitchen there isn't a butler's pantry, even the food pantry was small. Who was this house bespoke to, the developer? I did like the door trim and dental moulding. Where was the washer and dryer (laundry room)? And no library? and not a single bedroom had a wardrobe/clothes closet? At the very least, the master should have walk in closets. Fascinating seeing a newer built home in England and how things are different here in the U.S. btw, Bently, but not that one. But I'd want to test drive the Ferrari.
You asked so NO I don't think it's worth the asking price. The ceilings seems very low throughout. Main drawback is there is NO privacy and landscaping is at a minimum or non existent, as in the back yard. There are also many features that need to be added, like closets! BBQ area, pool or water feature. I don't really know the pricing in that area but it seems like it's overpriced to me. A beautiful home but a little conflicted between the traditional style and then some modern features. Not consistent to me. Sorry!
Then call a handyman and remove them and put something else there. For the majority of people they would be useful. Remember they are just fridges... you DON'T have to put alcohol in them...... duh!
Beautiful home loved all the finishes but not sure on modern lighting though. We didn't get to see the back garden though maybe link a short clip? 2 seconds look isn't enough.
First of all, you have an oversized entryway, I think they could have reduced the size and increased the house's size. The entry hall is tiny. Paying 1,7 grants for this is insane. I would pay half of it as MAX and still overpay for it.
Good property, nice and tastefully decorated with room to put your own spin on things. Definitely room for a home recording studio in either of those two upper floor bedrooms or that office space downstairs and the second living room could become a home cinema with little effort. Given the size, features and location of this place I think that the price is fair and justified.
So many people in the comments complaining about the price yet again..... if this was in outer London.... Oxshott, Radlett, Weybridge, Virginia waters, Wentworth etc etc it would be £5-10 million and you'd be complaining, if it was in Hampsted it would be £10-20 million and you'd be complaining, and in central London it would be a 2-3 bed flat costing £5 million and the same old people will be complaining. It's probably around the right price give or take based on the area, sq/m number of rooms etc etc. Not my ideal home with the low ceilings, ridiculous huge driveway and lack of privacy and no gym/games room/cinema but it's okay But 99.9999% of the people in the comments including myself are not going to be buying it, so what any of us think is irrelevant.
Arent all driveways self draining? And for 1.8 million i dont expect swamps or puddles or flooding! Auctioneers always try to put a gloss on the most mundane expectations. There is absolutely zero trees or shrubs or appreciation of gardening despite all the palaver about the kitchen having massive doors opening onto it
Even Redrow homes under a million price tag have high ceilings. But this so called luxury home has low ceilings which is giving a feel of low cost Persimmon Homes, definitely not worth a £1.75 million price tag
Elephant in the room - the limited garden is surrounded by the neighbours garden, so they can perve and spy at you any time they want. I bet they owned the whole plot and sold off this property's plot for a fee, but wanted to keep most of the original plot for themselves. I would feel like a tenant if I bought this place, no matter how nice inside it may be. "We're letting you have this little bit of our land for you nice little house. But we're surrounding it with our land to keep an eye on you. Oh, and next year, you know that stip of land to the left of your house? We're going to be keeping some chickens, cockerels and goats there".
Cheshire is the posh up north, £1m won't get you alot these days. I recently saw a 3 bed victorian semi in Fallowfield/burnage going for £400-450k ish. it's an okay price, though the huge driveway, low ceilings lack of privacy from the neighbours is not great. Don't worry a Premiership footballer for Man Utd, City. Liverpool, Everton, etc will surely rent it lol. There's even a little nail salon next to the kitchen for the WAG 😂
I have a rule of thumb, if I can stand in my house and touch the celling with my fingers, it means I'm poor 😂😂 I can high five my ceilings, this house also most likely 😂😂
I just saw a video: $500,000 apartment VS $5 million apartment, the result is really unexpected! If you think this mansion is already luxurious, you may be a little curious about the $500,000 choice.
