32 million for a terraced house - the world has flipped its lid.
And it's not even nice inside. They've taken out all original featues and character and replaced it with an office style interior. I can get that at work, no need to spend 32 million.
its not terraced its semi detached
You can also add £4.7 million in stamp duty to that. It's madness..
@@cuteopiax1259 You must be blind as a bat. The house is stunning.
location is most important
Even for Chelsea, this property is overvalued and has a very claustrophobic feel.
There is a reason why it's not sold
Nah, Ive seen higher prices for smaller houses/flats there
The house looks absolutely incredible from the outside but for £32 mil the interior really doesn’t cut it. The exposed brickwork makes it look cheap. In my opinion it’s not exactly a very luxurious homely home. There is not one chair in the whole house that you can actually just fall into to relax. 8 bedroom house with 1 parking space 🤔
How does the exposed brickwork make it look cheap?
@@henrytudor8537 it looks like one of them city loft space apartments. I’d shoot the interior designer if I was the owner 😂
@@henrytudor8537I suppose originally exposed brickwork signified a run down premise?
WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED????? THAT IS THE UK FOR YOU. THIS AND ITS PRICE IS TYPICAL WITH SHIT, ESPECIALLY IN LONDON. NOTHING NEW!!
I agree. It looks so cheap. All of it looks like someone’s “good idea”.
For 32.5mil I'd expect an entire private island, not a semi detached house in London where most of the living space is in the basement 😂😂
I love luxury properties and appreciate the premium that comes with living in a affluent area. However the price of this property is ridiculously insane there's zero justification for this price tag!
Especially in London where you can't even walk around freely with an expensive watch 😂😂
@@TheTemporary1ne Exactly the vultures would be watching your every move. Not to mention the ridiculous parking restrictions, endless construction works, round the clock traffic etc!
It’s in Chelsea. That’s your justification
Exactly. As soon as I can I'm moving out of London. These prices are just ridiculous!
I totally agree that the square and outside presentation does look lovely. I couldn't believe how badly designed the television viewing room was? An entire wall is filled with this ridiculous TV! Unfortunately, the seating opposite is very close! Just wondering if the designer was high at the time lol 😂
MASSIVELY overvalued! Property prices are the biggest con, EVER!!!
And sometimes THAT isn't the thing that matters. Kid, just appreciate the utter beauty of this house.
London housing is for the international community now, not the English.
They've ripped all the character out of the house. It looks more like a warehouse style loft building. The staff area doesn't have the same finish as the rest of the house? Is it a dungeon? 😂
Was expecting more from this based on the location. It felt like a dungeon, I think it needs a re-design by a developer or interior design company to really highlight the positives.
It is a classic interior design result
It’s perfect as it is.
quite basic@@monk3yboy69
I’ve seen enough of these $20M+ properties. While they are impeccably remodeled, they all feel like they are in the basement, even some of the rooms with windows. None of them feel like homes. They feel like a commercial buildings being rented by autistic tech employees.
Totally agree. Dark basement living.
Imagine paying a staggering £32.5m for a shared garden.
Imagine still having money after forking out 32mil…😀
Great house, but 32 million? You could probably get a whole village for that price in other parts of the country. London is getting absolutely ridiculous.
For real
Crazy
It's so big I would get lost!
Wonder who owns it?
It’s too classy for those arabian sheiks or russian business men, so I guess some british celebrity.
Every bit of character has been ripped out of this house😮
For the first 9 minutes of the video, I felt so claustrophobic, I could barely breath. Give me a much cheaper mansion in the country any day - not that I have the money for a mansion 😉
The interior of this house looks like it was designed for a villain in a James Bond film. It's cold and brutal looking. I guess you could use that basement cinema room to torture people that get in the way of your evil genius. It's definitely not what I would want to buy if I were looking for a villa in Chelsea.
😂😂
I def got Patrick Bateman vibes
😂😂😂😂😂
There are beautiful, large manor homes in the country side of England that have tons of room. They often come with a lot of land as well, that you can buy for much, much less than 32 million!
For an area such as Chelsea or London for that matter where space is at the most optimum premium having a multi level home such as this exquisite home you can see why people with a bottomless bank account can afford the luxury of building their dream home. Although it still begs the question why the previous owner decided to sell. Hmmm.
Not everyone wants to live in the countryside. And having more space and lots of land doesn't necessarily make for a better living experience. It's also worth noting that the buyers for a home of this caliber probably have a house in the country as well, and several others around the world.
Location .. location ...location.... not apples and oranges .....
What manor house means and are those safe ? What if anyone enters in your house like goons thief murderer
But this is for bloated plutocrats, who want to say that they live in Chelsea!
As usual, the heart has been ripped out of this character house, and in it’s place, a bland, cold, unimaginative looking office building, such a travesty to our history and beautiful architecture 😢😢 when the “ current “ thing changes back to original features etc, what are these people going to do ?.
Yeah i loved the exterior! The interior really doesn’t match that. I suspect they’re targeting foreign purchasers tho’….
Absolutely ghastly! They have ruined a beautiful characteristic London house.
When, hopefully, whatever the design they strived for fails, and cannot sell , they will probably lose money, if and when they do sell. Also, all that big catering kitchen looks to be is good for show. One small space for parking is a joke...what are they going to do helicopter their quests in for dinner, maybe land in that beautiful street.
Honestly, I love the contemporary clean lines. I like the older look of the house on the outside but it’s a good marriage between the two styles., houses need to be updated at least every 20 years to keep it fresh. A lot of people don’t like stuffy traditional. And I can understand that. Some fine traditional furniture would look great alongside contemporary furniture.
I'd be surprised if buyers are expected to live with such bland interior design. Maybe it's just easier to show it like this so viewers can decide how they'll do it when it's theirs. The more ominous possibility is that it's intended only as an investment house, not really for living in. Buy a house, close it up, wait for price increase, sell it for profit. There used to be overtones in London of ill-gotten gains being used. I don't know what it's like now.
It hasn’t sold and started at £36M…a semi with no garage. You can have a magnificent townhouse in Chester Sq. SW1 for £20M…this in SW10 is worth about £15M
You can't expect a London garage for only 32 Million, surely...
They’re trying to recoup the millions they spent on that unimpressive plywood basement
The narrow room where the TV is makes zero sense as TV room taking into account the great living space on the back of the floor
I loved that house, BUT, got a bit fed up with the same wood used in so many of the rooms, it was over kill.
Those stairs as soon as you open the front door are dangerous. Can imagine walking in after a few drinks and falling straight down😂😂
I’m not a fan of those ‘track lights’ Feels like something I’d see in H&M. Think the decor is pretty dull. Either white brick or that plywood that I think will date horribly. The problem I have with these huge town houses are they’re just lots of long not particularly wide rooms. They’d make more sense and individual flats.
In fact i felt that i was touring many flats with communal facilities!
Wow, double-glazed windows! That's amazing! What a luxury. Well worth the 32M price tag.
Don't forget about the window blinds and the bowl with chopsticks in the kitchen 😂
For £32500 million London is just not worth it.For that price you can have a mansion with land and a swimming pool. Enough cash left over to buy a car.
This house is made for multi millionaires. They fs can afford a car ontop of this. Also have to mention Chelsea is a very expensive part of london for a flat, let alone a whole 8 bedroom town house with an extra building in the garden. I believe that the price is spot on
@@haryl3351 Bet your a Londoner. Actually so was I. London especially Chelsea to stuck up. Defending people with money. Bet your a conservative. London is way over the odds.
Day one, get the decorators in to get rid of those black and white stripes, FTM
@@darrelsimon4029 yeah i am a conservative but i dont live in london. I have a country house. Money isnt the reason why im defending this though although that may be because im biased or something along the lines. All im saying is that is an amazing property for london in a great area of london so it’s guaranteed to cost quite a lot. Infact most people who make claims like yours are jealous because they dont have that money so resort to “hating” people with money. I think you need to rethink how to talk to people and act like a nice human being instead of a a jealous and childish prick.
@@darrelsimon4029if it wasn’t worth £32,500,000 million then nobody would ever buy it, that’s how supply and demand works. There’s nothing wrong with defending people with money - as most people who have this kind of money (unless simply born into this kind of wealth) have it because they are able to deliver lots of value to people and the economy, otherwise they wouldn’t have the money. People who can’t achieve this level of success tend to leave negative comments towards those who can, like you for example.
i knew london is crazy expensive, but this is literally insane
Underwhelming for the price. Décor looks cheap.
That principal bedroom was rather underwhelming 🤭. I appreciate much has been done to it and I love various elements of the house, but wouldn't go in at that price. Thanks for showing it
I know this is Chelsea but the other house in Northwood is only about 12 miles from Central London, 20m cheaper and is bigger and more grand. It's kind of a no brainer
It’s a bit of a bitch getting into the West End from Northwood. Can take over an hour in the limo. Not ideal .
Helicopter
Why have all the west London renovations ripped out any character from period properties, shame. It’ll outdate fast. Impressive amount of space though
Lovely presentation as usual, the black and white thyme is tacky for a house in that price range.
It shows that the owner is a freemason.
This is so sad. Why pay 32mil for a semi detatched home
😂😂😂
Only footballers will buy this HOUSE 😂❤️⚽️
With a tiny shared garden
Great tour, Matt. I like you’re starting to note the furniture designers and the finer details of the property 😊
Yes, after a while doing this you'll start to pick up on details and interior designer terms when speaking about property.
Great tour! This is amazing.
32 mill is outrageous. 10 maybe but 32?! For the risk of immediately falling down the stairs the moment you enter? 😭
But,at least, there's a garage....Oh ! Hang On !
Nice house but nowhere near worth that price tag though.You’d be paying for the street name more than anything,entrance was terrible swimming pool area was oddly designed.
Probably walk out side and get mugged 😂😂😂
Lived in a basement flat in London with no natural light and it was the most depressed I have ever felt
Superb video editing!
Just getting better 🙌🏻
Love your videos, but some gentle feedback, 32.5M house and the video felt a bit rushed and didn’t take time to show off rooms in better details. Meant with positive intent 😅
Summer needs to do the high end property videos, she has recently perfected her presentations skills and does a very good job.
Would not have gotten any better with a more detailed view.
Amazing property, BUT the pool/gym area is way too dark. For an area that should be particularly relaxing and well-lit, it looks like a dungeon.
Absolutely Stunning!
Yes, it's way too expensive but WAY TOO GORGEOUS too!
I'd love to see something like that in its original condition. Late 19th century I presume?
Money doesn’t buy taste
Thank you for taking your shoes off when reviewing my home 😄
Great presentation as always Matt. Lovely house. 😍
The guy couldn't even dress! Polo shirt and sneakers to sell a 32 million house? Who's he appealing to, some hip hop or rap thug millionaire?
Imagine paying 32 million great British pounds to have another house attached to it 😭😭😭
Lol that isn’t a swimming pool in the usual sense, it’s a lap pool but I suppose in Chelsea it is indeed a swimming pool 😂😂😂
Interior is very disappointing exterior is stunning 😍😍
I’m not an architect nor engineer so idk if technically it was possible to open up the spaces more? It was very ‘nook and cranny’-ish, kind of like those break-out games rooms. And the ID is probably high-end but the aesthetics didn’t really cut it for me, too much modern contemporary doesn’t justify 32.5 mil to the eye imho.
It's a Georgian house, so will be protected. It's also in a preservation zone. The only option is to dig down.
@@j.harrison6744 I don’t think the restriction applies to indoor walls unless they are foundational beams. I mentioned opening up the spaces meaning indoor, not increasing the space that could mean adding floors upwards.
Agree. The room proportions have been wrecked. First time looking in this channel. Not impressed. Won’t be looking again.
I feel much better about my home in Minnesota! I know that it's comparing grapes to watermelons, but if I had to choose a home to actually live in, then I would keep mine. My home is smaller but on much, much more land.
You can do a lot of stuff in London compared to Minnesota unless you like the nature
Living in a place like yours is good after you are already retired and don't care about the city life. But for someone in their 20s or 30s they would take something like this everyday if they had the funds to do so
32 mill for a semi… . I grew up is sw11… that is a joke of an asking price!
Nice one ..... good presentation ... THX.....
I love the contemporary interior. Very nice. I prefer a kitchen open to a den and although it was very beautiful, it feels claustrophobic to me. It would feel like you’re all alone in the basement. The staircase was awful. I give it an F, because a staircase should have an open stairwell that you look down to the floor or up to the ceiling. I understand the elevator being placed in the stairwell, but it really ruins the staircase. I wish they could have put the elevator in a different area. Also the brick color looks very bland and average. I would have to paint the brick white or a light gray. That would make it much better. The parking space is unacceptable. They should have a two or three car garage somewhere so I give the parking area an F. But good video and I don’t blame the tour guide for the floorplan. He is an excellent spokesperson. Keep the tours coming.
Wow. People have lived incredible lives.
Worth £15 million at most.
Despite lots of people say this and that about rich people, they can't stop watching guided tours. Lol. Nice home and great channel mate.
great video, thanks!
Bland- only original features are the windows
I usually love your videos but honestly I’m shocked I don’t think it’s worth 32million at all and decor I think is bland. (I guess your paying for being in the land of London) but if that property was anywhere else it’s wouldn’t be worth 3-5million tops. I’m surprised because all the videos you that were cheaper were better
Totaly agree
You're paying to live in Chelsea. You can live good in London for 60x cheaper
Amazing! I wonder when it was first built and who for?
Great video! Thank you!!
'So now we're seeing why this home is worth £32M' erm...you've shown me electric blinds and a bowl with chopstick holes! 🤣 Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely £3M house
Do you know the price of chopstick bowls these days?....
£3m and some change up north maybe.. you’re paying for the address here.
I've got a housing association flat with 4 tennis courts, basketball court, 50m swimming pool and a few acres of park £700 a month.
😂 Where is this lol 👀
@@TingsaGwarn Crystal Palace
Just finished working on a house a few doors up , 4 year project all in all !
For that price I’d expect a Sophie Patterson or Alexander James esque interior.
Agreed, the interior design was seriously lacking in my view
Amazing house in so many ways. But not for me. At that exorbitant price I'd want more land. Also I'd need a cosier interior. I find this place sterile, cold and in some areas claustrophobic.
There's no doubt that it would be incredible to live there. However it's very sad when you see all of the original features missing.
particularly good one. I'v eseen all kinds of houses in London from near derelict to top tiers and sadly, even in the latter, the build, finishes etc often leave o be desired. But this one seems exceptionally finished. There is something to be said in gneral about the editing of the videos on this chanel. It makes it difficult to intuitively understand where you are in the house. Maybe because of the lack of filmed transitions and the changes of perspective. A shame considering how compact the format is. A few close up shots of details /finishes would be good too.
AMAZING!! JUST BEAUTIFUL. GREETINGS FROM MANHATTAN NY. BRAVO 👏
Mieszkanie super zaprojektowane, piękna reklama i pozdrawiam z Polski:)
This house is just part of someone's investment portfolio no one will ever live in it sadly.
Best house I’ve seen, location, size and interior decor! Mine sort of vibes!
Even if you could afford this property you would have concerns with reselling it. I doubt you would make a profit much less break even!
I really like this house, 32 million is an insane amount of money but if I could afford it, I can see myself living there. I'd convert the staff area into something else though, I can't imagine employing people to take care of my home
Its a gutted dark box, this house was the one that first made the neighbors insane with pointless construction and will know doubt be bought by some tacky person that will drive them crazy again.
Everything is exquisite. However, as is often the case with significantly older renovated homes in Europe, natural light is lacking and the 'cut' of the rooms can be quirky. All of this can be mitigated somewhat by using a white AND black (light and dark) color scheme = playfulness with the inherent darkness of an older home. All those comfy and unique chairs and subterannean spaces come off at least on KZhead as vaguely threatening. Oh for a house in the country with wide expanses of grass and trees and big windows out to the back French garden! None of that here, just claustrophobia gone Venetian in checkerboard white and black. Still a beautifully rendered home for someone who doesn't have to live there every day. I am sure the London interior designers got a few million pounds for their work before this property is flipped. Thank you for showing us this exquisitely rendered property!
My house is about 300sqm. And I already grumble when I need to get something from the upstairs. And already use HomePods to inform the staff. I can’t imagine living in somewhere so big. I would feel lost or scared someone might be hiding somewhere waiting to jump out on me.
You have to experience the Eames Lounge chair with the Ottoman
A beautiful home from the outside but they have destroyed totally all the original period features to impose an ugly characterless modern interior. Just such a shame. Not for me, even if I had £35 million.
the way the lighting is captured on video isn't doing the property any favors. it just looks so yellow. I'm sure in person the lighting temp is a bit different, but on video it looks downright jaundiced and unappealing.
I’ll be glad to have this place in London, despite of the rain ☔️
We have just had the least rain and warmest September,, in London, since records began, Rebecca and 2 days ago it was 77 Degrees Fahrenheit on the 11th October. lol
Nice - but does no one build libraries or studies anymore...
No justification whatsoever for this hilarious price. Even for Central/West London this is taking the you know what. There's massively overpriced and then there's this. Even a billionaire investor would have to question this price point for a semi-detached. Quite astonishing.
🎯
Price good or bad, it's amazing and I LOVE it! my dream is to one day visit beautiful London
You are more than welcome but you can never see it all in one lifetime:)
Beautiful love it when you guys tour the house not the other property brokers that some times come onto the channel
You are just paying for the location. 32 Mill for a terraced house.... You can buy a huge mansion with acres of land, half that price and you wouldn't have neighbours next to you. But the rich and famous would be pay that money for the location and investment.
4.5M should buy you this house in reality, but such is the madness. For 32M, I'd sooner buy 60 properties for 500k each total spend, spread across six different countries & dodge every winter in the the UK.
Tell me about it.2 days ago it was only 25 Degrees Celsius or 77 Degrees Fahrenheit in London after our warmest September since records began...
Tremendous! and you get the privilege of sharing a wall with you next door neighbour at this alarming price too? Sign me up.
I saw this house a while ago. Great house, but couldn't understand why they didn't bother updating the insulation and ventilation systems. Just felt like they had cut corners in doing so.
Wow they really used the space well and packed it full of lux goodies. Modern interior design just feels a bit cold to me but I know it's popular.
Good thing I'm not in the market for a £32 million pound house in London. If I was, I would certainly not have bought this one. It's utterly hideous and headache inducing. I have no idea what the developer and designer (if there was one) were thinking. It also seems extremely expensive for what it is.
It is only bricks and mortar so you are spot on. I'd rather a country mansion that this brain ache.I wouldn't pay over 1 million for a house. A decent detached house a car and a few acres thats all.
I hope the lighting temperature can be controlled. That golden glow everywhere would make me sleepy. It's a little dingy, imo. A daylight temperature of 4000k could be a little fresher.
The house is probably worth about £250k. But the build cost was probably £32.5 Million. Madness!
How do you know you are working class? -You've got a wide-screen TV that is too big for your living room. I don't know what class these people are.
I don't think they have any class, just shed loads of money.
😂😂
Buy a nice apartment in london for a fraction of that and get a lovely wooded country estate again for a fraction of that. London is nice but it aint that nice. I would prefer gardens and solitude and natural light instead of basements for 32million. What you are paying for here is the cost of the excavation works in a posh neighborhood. They want to recoup their money on a bad investment, a stupid decision to spend so much money on it. Plus it is actually disgusting in a country with more foodbanks for the starving than mcdonalds for the poor that somebody has this much money to waste. Tax the owner and the buyer way way more.
Yeah i too was wondering why dig until almost Hades? Lol.
Or, like me,live in a modest 3 bedroom house, well below the London average, just 50 metres from 185 Acres of Parkland and within a 7 miles radius of 76 Open spaces including a 245 Acre park just 1/2 mile from a London postal address so I can go into London and out to the Countryside in no time:)
Wow, £200 electric blinds and it’s double glazed! Not to mention the bowls with chopsticks inside!! Seriously… 😂
should light up that swimming pool to show us, I miss that turquoise
I’m too ugly to live in a place like that!
Awe don’t say that! 😂❤️😘
It's a good house. Just good. But not worth that price
Is bloody tiny rooms are small, ludicrous money I'll stay up north 😂👍
Beautiful home with a couple of caveats: The mirrored tv in the sitting room, why? Kinda tacky. And I loves me a staircase, so not fond of the elevator being such a central feature. Surely the architect could have placed it somewhere less obtrusive.
