@@gridley This place is just outside of Manchester and Liverpool, there's 4 huge club there, most footballers who plays in those cities lives on nearby villages, this house is definitely purpose built for a footballer
It has the feeling of an office space or a luxury car dealership. Also, the sunken bit doesn't work in the UK. It rains so often that the sunken part just turns into a water collector that requires constant cleaning to keep it nice.
The flat roof is also really stupid. Imagine the cost & time it’ll take to replace the membrane with all the solar panels. The constant rain will make the roof deteriorate really fast.
A lot of mansions have dedicated space I would never use (like a cigar room and a wine roon....etc....) but, by the most part I could repurpose. This dwelling has a LOT of spaces I would never use that can never be reporposed. It's way too niche. And not for me..
@@jaromor8808 He meant the Cosmo, as in The Cosmopolitan Casino. It very much has the same cheesy "valvet luxury" look as you get at the cosmo, only it's purple there.
Another consideration for porcelain tile floors in the UK.... porcelain floors are nice in a place like Dubai where the temperatures are 30+C/100+F to help the home feel cooler. In the UK, the finishes do not need to help keep the home cool... the weather does just fine on its own with keeping things cool. Wood floors are much better for helping spaces feel warmer in addition to looking warmer.
Porcelain floors are nice in climates like Dubai so the home feels cooler. In the UK cool finishes aren't needed. Wood floors feel and look warmer. (Baroque vs. Minimilist)
in England is not only rainy but also cold and windy and indoor pool just makes more sense. It's more for spa area than entertainment. Outdoor pool you can use maybe 2 months in a year, the average temperature is really low.
I'm pretty sure we have worst winters here in Canada and guess what! We have outdoor pools. There's this magical thing called a heater! Arvin is right what a wasted yard and square footage! 😂
You can get it heated. There's no reason not to have an outdoor pool here, could've still had an indoor lap pool. And 2 months it's still nice to have the option. You have the space and money, why wouldn't you get one?
I lived in the UK for 6 years. The dark gray skies and the sun setting super early in the afternoon got to me. Everything is dark dreary & gray naturally so to use gray colors inside is crazy. People over there do love grays & black though. You won’t see many cars or even peoples’s coats with any color other than black or gray (& silver for cars).
This silly excuse for a house gives all the warmth and feel of a car dealership's showroom. And I've seen a MINI dealer that had a much nicer, friendlier showroom than this.
@@LudiCrust. There's been a positive plague of grey interiors in the UK, now we're coming out of it and not before time although the latest craze seems to be for very dark colours e.g. navy blue. OK if you have great art and good lighting.
Looks like a car dealership turned into a livable house. I'm 2 minutes in, and some pieces of furniture are about the best I've seen. The rest looked cold and corporate, very distant. As Arvin says, first impression / WOW factor is important.
I live in the UK. We can have 3 weeks of cold, grey, rainy weather. It can be depressing. But, in a grey house? Obviously you need to own a super yacht if this is your house. So that you can escape all the dismal grey.
In this part of England it rains 300 days a year, hence the number of solar panels. Plus the last thing a British interior needs is grey as it sucks out whatever colour there is in the home. It starts to look like a municipal car park
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial Arvin, hi! I have a bit of a weird question. There was this gorgeous property, 9420 Readcrest Drive in Beverly Hills, that was featured on Darren Kriz’s channel. Zillow says it was sold for 9.8 million in 2023. This seems unbelievably cheap for this location and this type of property. Any idea why?
The issue with outdoor pools in the UK isn't the rain, it's the heat. That far north summer will be 20c (68f) average and the winter might not get about 0c (32f). This means you HAVE to put it indoors if you want year-round use, or expecet a heating bill over £1k/month to keep it warm enough in the winter.
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial Ok, you can heat the water, but what about body parts that sticking out of the water while you are swimming? It is a bit uncomfortable to swim while your head is freezing. Not to mention that you have to breathe in cold air.
The whole house structure enclosing the pool, probably cost more than 20 years of bills for heating it year round! Heck! With that much solar and efficient heat pumps technology we have today, I bet that never, l mean never will inside pool of that size be more economical than the outdoor one! At least not in the UK…
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial you are right on the cost, it’s not enough to worry about at this level. I’m not sure, however, if the experience of an outdoor pool is better in our weather. Too cold / wet for people to sit around and talk, horrible walk to / from the water (esp getting out). Ideally you want it in an area where you can slide back 1 or 2 glass walls so it works as indoor or outdoor.
I'm from the UK and every time I look at properties here I think the exact same thing... I'm so glad to hear you say "please stop using grays". Thank you!
@@legoqueen2445 exactly. it's what makes people hire him. it's not for everyone but a personality and person who doesn't want to beat around the bush will be drawn to.
These kinds of modern homes aren’t very popular in the uk, those indoor/outdoor living spaces aren’t very suited to English weather. If you have money you’re either buying something in London, or buying an old mansion with land and renovating the interior, or you just leave for somewhere warmer.
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial thank you for the video! I love your channel. Also props for calling out our obsession with grey interiors. It’s a n awful trend everyone heres been doing lately 😂
I feel like an athlete built this. All the focus on the gym and the pool and the three bedrooms in the front where an after thought to make it more sellable.
I lended to a tract home development that offered that in masters for an up charge. I think only 3 homes out of the 130+ community complex chose the option.
It's actually pretty good in terms of optimal distance, if that is a 43' inch TV. If it was wall-mounted in such a large bedroom, you would need a much larger TV because of the viewing distance. You could go with a ceiling mount too, though.
You can tell the south orientation by the tilted panels as they will be pointing to the equator. Northern hemisphere face south, southern hemisphere face panels north
I always learn something from each of your videos, but your commentary in this video was a master class in architecture and interior design. Super entertaining and super educational.
As someone who is tired to their core from seeing white marble (especially in bathrooms) I was surprisingly relieved to see the white bathrooms in this property
Fantastic video and really good that you are taking the pressure off Enes😂 This is a brilliant office building, art gallery or exhibition space, but its a terrible home that would put your kids into therapy... Even British Mikey STRUGGLES to generate any enthusiasm for this cold space... Also I am sure that the echoes in all this concrete would be awful... Absolute no and thanks for the great perspective!
Yesterday, I walked into my living room, which has a 29 ft ceiling, and said "this room has great scale." I think I might be watching a lot of these videos.
Another viewer observed that outdoor pools do not warm up much in England. From experience i know that heating a pool consumes huge amounts of energy. Outdoor pools also need to be cleaned frequently. I decided to do an indoor pool in a house in MD. It was much smaller than this lap pool, so easy to heat. The pool was in a glass-walled sun room. Nothing more luxurious than lounging in a warm pool, while watching it snow outside. The drawback is humidity. Covering the pool fixes this, but ruins the esthetics. The alternative is an all-stainless central dehumidification system. Absent these measures, even greenboard deteriorates.
Blackpool is the British equivalent of Atlantic City/Reno. Nobody's paying £10 million there (except maybe a local football player). They've got real stately homes and mansions nearby for less. Horrible tacky mess.
notice the billard table [game room] within the living room next to the kitchen; do hide a sports room and swimming pool, but not the billard table... if kids wanna play, imagine having to listen the balls clicking when others do not play; living space should have items for daily use.
My father has a building business here in the U.K. , he said flat roofed homes here more often than not have problems with water penetration at some point due to the amount of rain we get . PS LOL at 15:04 STOP BEING A WANKER !! 😂 such a British expression , you are hilarious !
Well most of yhe flatroofs are "fake flat", which kind if works for small homes (still ugly imo). Here though the surdace is too big to make a decent fake flat roof
Looks like a Real Estate main office. A place to entertain your clients, not very homey. The maintenance room looks like a computer room in an office. All those orange cables need to be maintained. You would have to hire a professional to maintain all those high tech doors, panels and security. She said over 40 kilometers of wiring as if that's a good thing. All those wires have to be traced behind those marble walls and "Venetian" plaster walls. If something goes wrong with the tech it would be a nightmare to fix it.
When I first stumbled on your channel a few months ago I didn’t like it, now I love your content! Super informative. London - you’re spot on with re the grey tones. I live in London too and I HATE it with a passion. I think I suffer from SAD (that weather mood thing 😂) so much grey clouds I don’t want to look at grey indoors. Thankfully it’s getting much better now, I actually watch that channel and can see the improvement and departure from the drabby tones. THANK GOODNESS 🤭 Have a great weekend Arvin💫 Edit: just finished the entire video and felt EXACTLY how you felt watching a few weeks ago. Quite frankly the home is underwhelming 😢
One flaw to me: Seperated garage. No direct access to the house. Very typical in UK. If I'm the architect, I will design a U shape facing the backyard. Put the indoor pool, sauna and gym in the west wing with no windows which is adjacent to the neighbour with two-story house. And put bedrooms in the west wing next to high trees.
@@tobiasrockel i dunno why but i see that's the most case. i guess it's the land issue. there could be no much room for the garage before. and later the garage is built seperately.
Subscribed because of him being direct. Iam Norwegian in UK, know how it is here, bad...let's be real..property is awful, grey depressing and guys walking through pretend it to be nice and cozy. Ridiculous. Love this man, learned alot although I am a doc, but this man got me so much general knowledge about real estate in general, usa and uk. Btw hope you can review country side proper uk houses, some are bonkers. I know my comment won't be seen but anyway love your channel.
@@john_mega - Lytham is lovely, but this isn't in Lytham. It's in Ansdell, which is nice enough but no property is worth anywhere close to £10m, even down Islay Road. In fact, no property in Lytham is worth £10m. Don't care how grand it is. Even Lytham Hall wouldn't be worth that. St Annes is MEH tbh. Pretty run down and @edc1569 is right. This house is pretty near Blackpool whether you like it or not.
While I love the look of modern homes, I fund the black and silver and gray in this house to be exhausting. It’s clearly built for a bachelor. It’s way too masculine, not just in the color scheme, but also in the layout.
Yeah, even for a bachelor it's too much imo ... All my bachelor pads I've always brought in "a women's touch" and even masculine spaces need at least a little of it. Wood floors alone would've made a huge difference, all that black and grey in the kitchen and especially outdoor space was awful, and the bathroom was unsightly. I get what you're saying, but this is like 1980s kinda masculine. It needed more contrast and more of a natural feel instead of an industrial one. Also, any home even remotely close to a bachelor pad in that price range has to have a MUCH better garage, and I'd have liked to have seen a tennis court or something sports related outside. I really hate this house.
The biggest problem I have with Arvin is that I loved all these beautiful modern houses of Enes‘ channel … then, because of Arvin, I have seen all these houses again with other eyes … now I hate most of these houses. Arvin destroyed all my dream houses! 😂 Now for real: Fantastic channel, love it ❤
the palette is something I notice in a lot of uk properties. especially grating in those dark mews houses in london where they've chosen black/dark wood palettes. like please... lighten it up!!!
I actually screamed out loud when I saw the floor plan - a bedroom off the non-foyer? Really? Reverse the kitchen/dining and master suite locations. Move the entire house to the right where the stupid placement of the current garage is. This would allow room to extend the left wing a bit. (Indoor swimming pool/gym GONE, btw.) Put the garage/utility/comms rooms by the garage that's now on the front side of the left wing! Add a mud + powder room between the garage and the kitchen (deliveries!). All ensuite bedrooms with closets, thank-you-very-much, should face the yard (pool outside). Pool table in the living room? Really? Move the front door to the right where the stupid aforementioned foyer bedroom is. I could go on and on, i.e., the fire pit design and location are just r. o. n. g. - WRONG! The foyer should have a closet (for wet guests coats) and a small powder room across the way as close to the front door as possible. It's better to walk in the front door and see a large expanse of lawn or garden that wonder what the hell you're looking at. Thanks Arvin - This was one of my favorite Arvin Haddad shows! Peace.
I am not a real estate agent or involved in real estate, but must say your videos are entertaining, seen the channel grow from sub 20k, best of luck to your Arvin
This is a £10m home, so for £10m yes it should have closets not just a wardrobe, wardrobes are only standard for regular UK homes not for millionaire homes, millionaire homes in the UK also have an actual walk in closet.
Yeah, that fair. Apparently, some of the rooms did have closets. But yes, it should have been standard in every single room. However, as someone who has been to that read a few times, I’m sticking by that pool comment with my life. Lol.
I live in a one-story house. Arvin would love that! Granted, he'd hate everything else about it... including that it's only a 1bed/1bath... but at least there's that 😊
This isn't the most luxurious home in the UK by any stretch but it's very modern and certainly different. About 10 minutes from where I live we have a place called Virginia Water, Wentworth Estate and the houses are far more prestige, grand and some of the most luxury estates you'll find anywhere and they don't have neighbours to your immediate left and right that can just look into your property. Also, it pretty much comes with a PGA golf course just at the back. This property is well done don't get me wrong but the reason we don't many of these "LA" style homes is because we barely get any sunlight and warm weather so basically houses are built to be well insulated and keep you warm throughout the 362 days of winter that we get + you'll just see a bunch of grey clouds that can get depressing😂
Great video. Very informative. You really have taken these videos to a whole new level. I find myself addicted to your video's now. I wake up, first thing I do in the morning is go to your RUclips site to see if you have posted a new episode. Keep them coming. This is truly must-watch TV for potential Buyers and Sellers alike! Congratulations. RC
Because he compared it to Places like Seattle, which is not comparable. Seattle has decent weather. I mean in rains a lot, but it manageable. And theres frequent overcasts, however, still plenty of sunny part of the day. THAT PART OF ENGLAND IS NO JOKE. It literally rains every single day and the windchill is nuts. It cold like, all the time. And the wind would blow the water out the pool.And to say that a grown person would go swimming in the rain is… odd to say the least. 😂
@@MeesterJ - This isn't in Liverpool and I live very near this house (within 1 mile) and I can tell you that the climate is all wrong for an outdoor pool. It's too cold and wet for most of the year. You might get 10-15 days in the year were the temperature creeps over 20 degrees celsius and that's if you're lucky.
First time viewer and really impressed with your critique. I think the bigest fails are the 3 bedrooms positoned away from the rear. I disagree about simply having outdoor pool with cover as the weather (not just rain) would render it useable for only a few weeks in the year. I would instead have built the indoor pool along the length of the garden fence to make space for garden facing bedrooms. Agree with you completely on the cold decor and materials, this property is begging for some warm tones from natural wood.
To give you some background Arvin, this property is in Ansdell, near Lytham. Ansdell is nice enough, but it's not Lytham and to be honest, Lytham is a lovely place but it's not hyper exclusive like Alderley Edge (Cheshire), Hale/Altrincham (Greater Manchester), St George's Hill (Surrey), the Oxshott Estate (Surrey) or Virginia Water (Surrey). I don't care how grand the house is, you're not getting £10m in Lytham and especially Ansdell. The house is on Islay Road, located off Regent Avenue. Most property goes for between £1m-2m there. It's a very nice road but it's not hyper exclusive. Ansdell is also fairly near Blackpool, a run down seaside resort with a lot of deprivation. It's miles away from Liverpool. As the crow flies, it's 20 miles to Liverpool across the estuary but you're looking at a good 55 miles to drive there via 2 motorways (our equivalent of a freeway).
They produced the video on the one single day of the year when the sun shines in the UK! Regarding solar: We Europeans don't build solar panels on the roof to only supply our house with electricity. We produce electricity on the roof and feed it into the grid, for which we are paid by the grid operator. What we need ourselves stays in the house, the surplus is fed into the public grid! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
@@NoobyTheBot good for you? You seemed to imply Europe is some far advanced utopia while the US is behind...it's not. We pioneered a lot of the stuff Europe uses today.
I really hate this house, it is too angular and corporate for my liking. However, I think that in the UK an indoor or an indoor/outdoor pool is best. You would only be able to use an outdoor pool for a few months a year there or use a whole lot of electricity to heat an outdoor pool in the cold months and most pool covers are not attractive IMO. I also like to swim at nights in the security of indoors. Gray can be pleasant and soothing as can be seen in Scandinavian decor and it is often better to embrace the gray than fight against it, but you need warmer kinds of gray for this location and a lot less of it.
Another weakness of this house is the flat roof & it being completely covered with solar panels. The only places you should have a flat roof are in arid areas or where hurricanes are a possibility - having a flat roof in a place where it rains constantly is really stupid. The constant rain will deteriorate the roof pretty quickly. Imagine how much it’ll cost to replace the weatherproof membrane on that roof.
For the master bedroom I would have one way glass. Having to close the curtains on a 10 mill home to have privacy from guests or family is not convenient.
An outdoor pool is an absolute No No in england especially in the west, northwest bad weather from the Atlantic is so typical, its not just “regular rain”, its high freezing cold winds and typical storms, you have to be crazy to think that you would love to “relax” around that, better off imo to put a water feature there, also the master bedroom has a dressing room, it shows on the floor plans so it doesn’t need a wardrobe, i also like to point out i didn’t see any drainage around the firepit unless i missed that.
maybe the sunken firepit with hedges around it is supposed to keep you warmer compared to if you were at ground level with wind blowing on you. and maybe they put the pool inside so they could put soccer/football goals in the backyard
I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed with one of your opinions more than the one about the pool in this house. If you wanted to do an indoor/outdoor pool that’s fine, but having an outdoor pool in the UK is an awful idea. Who the hell has ever said “who cares if it’s raining, you’re already wet?” That’s just ridiculous. Plus it’s not necessarily the rain, it’s more about the temperature. Maybe an outdoor hot tub would be ok, but it’s way too cool to have only an outdoor pool in the UK. It’s not even warm enough for most of the summer to have an outdoor. You might get 15 to 20 days if you’re lucky. I guarantee you the pool is indoors because of the temperature, not the rain. Have you ever seen the rain the UK? Watch the British Open this summer. It doesn’t just rain, it blows in sideways. It will be like 55 degrees, raining, with 30 mph winds in August. This is just the most absurd thing I have ever heard you say.
Yeah, but you’d want to do that every day? Once in a while, sure. You’re like, “screw it. It’s still fun. I’m spontaneous.” Every day? You be like, why does swimming always involved getting rained on, freezing, and nearly blown out the pool by the wind? 😂
The emphasis on the English accent is such perfect British humour, I love it. I'm generally not a fan of LHS because they always tour these grey, grey, grey houses. (And they feel a bit too Gen Z for my liking) Don't get me wrong, I love a grey but in a large space you have to add dimension to and not be afraid to go balls to the wall with blacks and whites along with the grey. The house could work warm or cold but only grey just makes it blah.
It's not fake, it's privet or box hedging. Very common in the UK. It cuts into very compact shapes. 50% off all houses have it. Very very common but it's not fake.
Hello Arvin. Thank you for this video, it was very interesting. You commented that there is no storing space for the master suite. They didn't show it in the video, but if you look at the layout at the beginning you will notice that there is a dressing room behind the master bedroom. For the other bedrooms, no luck. I would have guessed that they used the space under the bed for storing clothes, but well, there is a TV already there…
Video ideas: Do some on Enes' best properties as well. Will give us an idea of what to look for. My top three are: 31m Marbella mansion 32.5m NYC penthouse 30m Jungle Backyard mansion And maybe do some on Producer Michael's videos (they can be hilarious). Specially the video of The One Belair. Would be great to watch imo. Fingers crossed we get it. Cheers! Edit: Commenting again for reach. Hope you see it :)
A £10 million house in St. Anne’s? That thing could take 20 years to sell. Most of the money in England is in the London and the surrounding counties like Surrey and Berkshire. Lytham St Anne’s is 250 miles away from there.
I’m sorry but the front of this house looks like a car dealership. I’m fairly new to your channel and you are fantastic. Great dry sense of humor! Cheers
You have an indoor pool because most of the year in a cooler climate you will be freezing your ass off swimming outdoors. This in not California, the environment is different and tastes are different, Arwin appears to have forgotten that.
Checked the blueprints, and there is not a closet in either bedroom. Also, every car coming or going from that front drive is going to shine its lights right into your bedroom. You will need heavy duty blackout curtains to sleep.
Im from the UK and i agree i wish people would stop with the grey its got a choke hold Brits and this house has missed the marked i have seen much better houses
1. (6:12) I'm hoping the garage or (gear-rodge) 😂 has one of those 360 turning floors. So that once you drive in, the floor will spin 180 degrees. 😁 2. (18:20) I don't like dark kitchens. No dark walls and countertops. A kitchen should start your day off with light, bright colors with plenty of natural sunlight and leafy green plants. Save the dark colors for your cigar and movie room 3. (20:50) You're right a swimming pool should be outside in the sunlight. That pool looks like someone turned their indoor bowling alley into a lap pool. 😝 If you live in a cool climate zone, just build a heated swimming pool outside. Then you can enjoy it for an Extra 1-2 months out of the year. 😎
FINALLY. A tour where the presenter has the manners to take their shoes off before entering the house. Possibly my biggest peeve with Enes tours. Once I noticed it, i couldn't unsee it.
Enes actually has multiple pairs of the same shoe which he switches out during the shoots,that's what Mickey said in that horrible castle mcmansion tour at least.
One of the flaws that you didn't pick up might be a bit European: The fact that there were separate AC units in some of the spaces. How these high end newer houses generally work is that there are floor and ceiling pipes that can cool and heat the area, keeping all rooms at the desired level. In general, in Europe, we don't like the airflow of an induced air system, obviously, it's better then overheating, but it's not prefered. The presence of these units means that the build in heat exchanger can't keep up, and fair enough, that happens in my house too, some rooms are just not cooled as much as they should be with the main system. But then, mine isn't worth 10 million. In such an expensive house, the rooms should be the right temperature without fussing about with mini-splits while the missus complains about the cold draft on her shoulders. If a room gets too hot, they should've installed more or better piping in the floor or a smarter system.
The front of the house and the foyer looks like the professional building of my dentist. If you put room numbers above the 4 doors in the foyer, it would be a match. The reason the North bedroom has a mirror outside is to get some light, any light, into it. I wonder if the designer, probably male, built this place for himself and to suit his own taste. But then decided or had to to sell it.
I was going to suggest this addition when you reviewed the Japanese penthouse that was so plain. This place needs the same treatment, PLANTS! They would warm up the place, and make it more livable, but all the grays are a downer mood wise! The pool area looks far from being a fun place to spend time, no room in this house looks enjoyable to be in!
I think if a new family just moved in, still get used to where the light switches are, they would lose direction at night cause everything is black and grey. For a 10 million quid house, I agree bedrooms looks small. furthermore, this is only 1 guest bedroom have wardrobe (closet), but none of them have a little desk or table to put some stuff on. expect to see there are some little desk or made up table at all; TVs stick to beds seems dangerous, that could be someone knock on to the bed, for whatever reason, would injure the person and also could damage the TV.
Wow, I actually thought of something important before Arvin said it. Really bad landscaping, no grass in front, and most importantly no wood floors inside. All I saw was grey an gloom, huge mistake not going wood floors. It ruined the house for me.

The more annoyed Arvin gets, the funnier he is! But the best part is, he’s absolutely right and makes total sense!
Then he should do more 'The Luxury Home Show' reaction... they has more ridiculous property to breakdown :)
Nah, I tend to disagree about 85% of the time, California Superiority Syndrome at its finest^^
"You may disagree...But I don't care though" > Peak Arvin.
It has the feeling of an office space or a luxury car dealership. Also, the sunken bit doesn't work in the UK. It rains so often that the sunken part just turns into a water collector that requires constant cleaning to keep it nice.
Thanks for the info! It should have drainage but ur correct
😂 ja gute Ideen Umsetzung nicht so der Hammer
The flat roof is also really stupid. Imagine the cost & time it’ll take to replace the membrane with all the solar panels. The constant rain will make the roof deteriorate really fast.
I think I get why the pool is inside. But space wise, they could have made this pool have a motorized cover and they could have worked it out.
A lot of mansions have dedicated space I would never use (like a cigar room and a wine roon....etc....) but, by the most part I could repurpose. This dwelling has a LOT of spaces I would never use that can never be reporposed. It's way too niche. And not for me..
This channel is really getting more and more entertaining by the day.

Another consideration for porcelain tile floors in the UK.... porcelain floors are nice in a place like Dubai where the temperatures are 30+C/100+F to help the home feel cooler. In the UK, the finishes do not need to help keep the home cool... the weather does just fine on its own with keeping things cool. Wood floors are much better for helping spaces feel warmer in addition to looking warmer.
Porcelain floors are nice in climates like Dubai so the home feels cooler. In the UK cool finishes aren't needed. Wood floors feel and look warmer.
(Baroque vs. Minimilist)
in England is not only rainy but also cold and windy and indoor pool just makes more sense. It's more for spa area than entertainment. Outdoor pool you can use maybe 2 months in a year, the average temperature is really low.
I'm pretty sure we have worst winters here in Canada and guess what! We have outdoor pools. There's this magical thing called a heater! Arvin is right what a wasted yard and square footage! 😂
also, privacy!
You can get it heated. There's no reason not to have an outdoor pool here, could've still had an indoor lap pool. And 2 months it's still nice to have the option. You have the space and money, why wouldn't you get one?
@@francis2939 I think you should have a look at UK energy prices😂 They're among the highest in Europe. Why waste such a huge amount of energy anyways.

I lived in the UK for 6 years. The dark gray skies and the sun setting super early in the afternoon got to me. Everything is dark dreary & gray naturally so to use gray colors inside is crazy. People over there do love grays & black though. You won’t see many cars or even peoples’s coats with any color other than black or gray (& silver for cars).
This silly excuse for a house gives all the warmth and feel of a car dealership's showroom. And I've seen a MINI dealer that had a much nicer, friendlier showroom than this.
@@LudiCrust. There's been a positive plague of grey interiors in the UK, now we're coming out of it and not before time although the latest craze seems to be for very dark colours e.g. navy blue. OK if you have great art and good lighting.
"My personal opinion, you can disagree...I wouldn't care though." And I'm here for it.
Prickly to tack on, "I wouldn't care though." The breezy "you can disagree" was enough.

I live in the UK. We can have 3 weeks of cold, grey, rainy weather. It can be depressing. But, in a grey house? Obviously you need to own a super yacht if this is your house. So that you can escape all the dismal grey.
the owners could moor it at Blackpool marina...
In this part of England it rains 300 days a year, hence the number of solar panels. Plus the last thing a British interior needs is grey as it sucks out whatever colour there is in the home. It starts to look like a municipal car park

@@ArvinHaddadOfficial Arvin, hi! I have a bit of a weird question. There was this gorgeous property, 9420 Readcrest Drive in Beverly Hills, that was featured on Darren Kriz’s channel. Zillow says it was sold for 9.8 million in 2023. This seems unbelievably cheap for this location and this type of property. Any idea why?
Sort of the flip side of luxury real estate in Dubai. Either too hot/sunny or too cold/cloudy.
The issue with outdoor pools in the UK isn't the rain, it's the heat. That far north summer will be 20c (68f) average and the winter might not get about 0c (32f). This means you HAVE to put it indoors if you want year-round use, or expecet a heating bill over £1k/month to keep it warm enough in the winter.
And even with an expensive heated pool it's not very comfortable to go out swimming in the winter.
For this price category the heating cost is not important… I respectfully disagree… isn’t luxury getting what you really want?
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial Ok, you can heat the water, but what about body parts that sticking out of the water while you are swimming? It is a bit uncomfortable to swim while your head is freezing. Not to mention that you have to breathe in cold air.
The whole house structure enclosing the pool, probably cost more than 20 years of bills for heating it year round!
Heck! With that much solar and efficient heat pumps technology we have today, I bet that never, l mean never will inside pool of that size be more economical than the outdoor one!
At least not in the UK…
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial you are right on the cost, it’s not enough to worry about at this level.
I’m not sure, however, if the experience of an outdoor pool is better in our weather. Too cold / wet for people to sit around and talk, horrible walk to / from the water (esp getting out).
Ideally you want it in an area where you can slide back 1 or 2 glass walls so it works as indoor or outdoor.
I'm from the UK and every time I look at properties here I think the exact same thing... I'm so glad to hear you say "please stop using grays". Thank you!

These kinds of modern homes aren’t very popular in the uk, those indoor/outdoor living spaces aren’t very suited to English weather. If you have money you’re either buying something in London, or buying an old mansion with land and renovating the interior, or you just leave for somewhere warmer.
Thanks for ur input

I feel like an athlete built this. All the focus on the gym and the pool and the three bedrooms in the front where an after thought to make it more sellable.
TV right at your feet in your own bed is the dumbest "convenience" I've ever seen in these houses.
well you don’t even have a TV
I lended to a tract home development that offered that in masters for an up charge.
I think only 3 homes out of the 130+ community complex chose the option.
It's actually pretty good in terms of optimal distance, if that is a 43' inch TV. If it was wall-mounted in such a large bedroom, you would need a much larger TV because of the viewing distance. You could go with a ceiling mount too, though.

I always learn something from each of your videos, but your commentary in this video was a master class in architecture and interior design. Super entertaining and super educational.

Right!!! Lol
This house gives me "50 Shades of UK".
Fantastic video and really good that you are taking the pressure off Enes😂
This is a brilliant office building, art gallery or exhibition space, but its a terrible home that would put your kids into therapy...

Specifically a car dealership.
It's all sad. One expensive sad house.
Yesterday, I walked into my living room, which has a 29 ft ceiling, and said "this room has great scale." I think I might be watching a lot of these videos.
Another viewer observed that outdoor pools do not warm up much in England. From experience i know that heating a pool consumes huge amounts of energy. Outdoor pools also need to be cleaned frequently. I decided to do an indoor pool in a house in MD. It was much smaller than this lap pool, so easy to heat. The pool was in a glass-walled sun room. Nothing more luxurious than lounging in a warm pool, while watching it snow outside. The drawback is humidity. Covering the pool fixes this, but ruins the esthetics. The alternative is an all-stainless central dehumidification system. Absent these measures, even greenboard deteriorates.
the sound boucing off the glass is torture
So, out door pool it is. Thanks
Blackpool is the British equivalent of Atlantic City/Reno. Nobody's paying £10 million there (except maybe a local football player). They've got real stately homes and mansions nearby for less. Horrible tacky mess.
Shudder…that bad!
notice the billard table [game room] within the living room next to the kitchen; do hide a sports room and swimming pool, but not the billard table... if kids wanna play, imagine having to listen the balls clicking when others do not play; living space should have items for daily use.
My father has a building business here in the U.K. , he said flat roofed homes here more often than not have problems with water penetration at some point due to the amount of rain we get . PS LOL at 15:04 STOP BEING A WANKER !! 😂 such a British expression , you are hilarious !
Too much standing water on a roof like that one. The house would forever have roof leaks. Seal one and another would start. 😬😬
Ur father is correct my friend
I was really wondering how these flat roofs hang on in rainy places. No surprise it has problems.
Well most of yhe flatroofs are "fake flat", which kind if works for small homes (still ugly imo). Here though the surdace is too big to make a decent fake flat roof
Hey Arvin I love your sense of humor and the way you share your knowledge with us...
Looks like a Real Estate main office. A place to entertain your clients, not very homey. The maintenance room looks like a computer room in an office. All those orange cables need to be maintained. You would have to hire a professional to maintain all those high tech doors, panels and security. She said over 40 kilometers of wiring as if that's a good thing. All those wires have to be traced behind those marble walls and "Venetian" plaster walls. If something goes wrong with the tech it would be a nightmare to fix it.

Have a great weekend Arvin💫
Edit: just finished the entire video and felt EXACTLY how you felt watching a few weeks ago. Quite frankly the home is underwhelming 😢
One flaw to me: Seperated garage. No direct access to the house. Very typical in UK.
If I'm the architect, I will design a U shape facing the backyard. Put the indoor pool, sauna and gym in the west wing with no windows which is adjacent to the neighbour with two-story house. And put bedrooms in the west wing next to high trees.
And put a study facing the frontyard. No sank-in area in the backyard but setup a deck in the backyard with bbq and table with shaded ceiling.
Why is that typical in the UK when it's raining all the time? Doesn't make sense...
@@tobiasrockel i dunno why but i see that's the most case. i guess it's the land issue. there could be no much room for the garage before. and later the garage is built seperately.
@@tobiasrockelit only rains 147 days a year in Liverpool
So long as there is no thunder and lightning, I'm perfectly fine being in a pool when it is raining. So long as it's heated. 😂

Maybe the owner missed Edinburgh?
A £10m next to Blackpool, bold.
Lytham and St Annes are lovely areas
@@john_mega - Lytham is lovely, but this isn't in Lytham. It's in Ansdell, which is nice enough but no property is worth anywhere close to £10m, even down Islay Road. In fact, no property in Lytham is worth £10m. Don't care how grand it is. Even Lytham Hall wouldn't be worth that.
St Annes is MEH tbh. Pretty run down and @edc1569 is right. This house is pretty near Blackpool whether you like it or not.
While I love the look of modern homes, I fund the black and silver and gray in this house to be exhausting. It’s clearly built for a bachelor. It’s way too masculine, not just in the color scheme, but also in the layout.
Footballer I would think
Yeah, even for a bachelor it's too much imo ... All my bachelor pads I've always brought in "a women's touch" and even masculine spaces need at least a little of it. Wood floors alone would've made a huge difference, all that black and grey in the kitchen and especially outdoor space was awful, and the bathroom was unsightly.
I get what you're saying, but this is like 1980s kinda masculine. It needed more contrast and more of a natural feel instead of an industrial one.
Also, any home even remotely close to a bachelor pad in that price range has to have a MUCH better garage, and I'd have liked to have seen a tennis court or something sports related outside.
I really hate this house.
Excited for this video, i love watching The luxury home show.

They are a very good channel, well worth watching.
The biggest problem I have with Arvin is that I loved all these beautiful modern houses of Enes‘ channel … then, because of Arvin, I have seen all these houses again with other eyes … now I hate most of these houses. Arvin destroyed all my dream houses! 😂 Now for real: Fantastic channel, love it ❤
They'd get to use the pool for maybe 3/4 months out of the year if it was outside. The UK isn't just rainy it's also COLD.
3/4 mo is great espcially in a place where you need to enjoy every decent outdoor day.
the palette is something I notice in a lot of uk properties. especially grating in those dark mews houses in london where they've chosen black/dark wood palettes. like please... lighten it up!!!
I actually screamed out loud when I saw the floor plan - a bedroom off the non-foyer? Really? Reverse the kitchen/dining and master suite locations. Move the entire house to the right where the stupid placement of the current garage is. This would allow room to extend the left wing a bit. (Indoor swimming pool/gym GONE, btw.) Put the garage/utility/comms rooms by the garage that's now on the front side of the left wing! Add a mud + powder room between the garage and the kitchen (deliveries!). All ensuite bedrooms with closets, thank-you-very-much, should face the yard (pool outside). Pool table in the living room? Really? Move the front door to the right where the stupid aforementioned foyer bedroom is. I could go on and on, i.e., the fire pit design and location are just r. o. n. g. - WRONG! The foyer should have a closet (for wet guests coats) and a small powder room across the way as close to the front door as possible. It's better to walk in the front door and see a large expanse of lawn or garden that wonder what the hell you're looking at. Thanks Arvin - This was one of my favorite Arvin Haddad shows! Peace.
I am not a real estate agent or involved in real estate, but must say your videos are entertaining, seen the channel grow from sub 20k, best of luck to your Arvin
I appreciate that!
LOL i love the drone flying, the guy explaining how tiles are layed out, the usefullness of washing machines.... hahahahah
Most homes in England don't have closets, they use wardrobes. Also, in the UK, having the pool be inside makes a lot of sense.
This is a £10m home, so for £10m yes it should have closets not just a wardrobe, wardrobes are only standard for regular UK homes not for millionaire homes, millionaire homes in the UK also have an actual walk in closet.
Yeah, that fair. Apparently, some of the rooms did have closets. But yes, it should have been standard in every single room. However, as someone who has been to that read a few times, I’m sticking by that pool comment with my life. Lol.
No outside pool in England. It tops 72F in July and August. It is too cold for outside pool.
I live in a one-story house. Arvin would love that! Granted, he'd hate everything else about it... including that it's only a 1bed/1bath... but at least there's that 😊
Hey … that counts
This isn't the most luxurious home in the UK by any stretch but it's very modern and certainly different. About 10 minutes from where I live we have a place called Virginia Water, Wentworth Estate and the houses are far more prestige, grand and some of the most luxury estates you'll find anywhere and they don't have neighbours to your immediate left and right that can just look into your property. Also, it pretty much comes with a PGA golf course just at the back. This property is well done don't get me wrong but the reason we don't many of these "LA" style homes is because we barely get any sunlight and warm weather so basically houses are built to be well insulated and keep you warm throughout the 362 days of winter that we get + you'll just see a bunch of grey clouds that can get depressing😂
Great video. Very informative. You really have taken these videos to a whole new level. I find myself addicted to your video's now.

The indoor pool in UK question is simple awnserd. Indoor pool is all year useable and outdoor pool is about three month useable.
Thats an instant teardown.

You really don't want an outdoor pool in the UK
Because he compared it to
Places like Seattle, which is not comparable. Seattle has decent weather. I mean in rains a lot, but it manageable. And theres frequent overcasts, however, still plenty of sunny part of the day. THAT PART OF ENGLAND IS NO JOKE. It literally rains every single day and the windchill is nuts. It cold like, all the time. And the wind would blow the water out the pool.And to say that a grown person would go swimming in the rain is… odd to say the least. 😂

@@MeesterJ these days literally is used so improperly that even webster's gave in.
@@MeesterJ - This isn't in Liverpool and I live very near this house (within 1 mile) and I can tell you that the climate is all wrong for an outdoor pool. It's too cold and wet for most of the year. You might get 10-15 days in the year were the temperature creeps over 20 degrees celsius and that's if you're lucky.
First time viewer and really impressed with your critique. I think the bigest fails are the 3 bedrooms positoned away from the rear. I disagree about simply having outdoor pool with cover as the weather (not just rain) would render it useable for only a few weeks in the year. I would instead have built the indoor pool along the length of the garden fence to make space for garden facing bedrooms. Agree with you completely on the cold decor and materials, this property is begging for some warm tones from natural wood.
This looks like an office space with bedrooms.
To give you some background Arvin, this property is in Ansdell, near Lytham. Ansdell is nice enough, but it's not Lytham and to be honest, Lytham is a lovely place but it's not hyper exclusive like Alderley Edge (Cheshire), Hale/Altrincham (Greater Manchester), St George's Hill (Surrey), the Oxshott Estate (Surrey) or Virginia Water (Surrey). I don't care how grand the house is, you're not getting £10m in Lytham and especially Ansdell.
The house is on Islay Road, located off Regent Avenue. Most property goes for between £1m-2m there. It's a very nice road but it's not hyper exclusive. Ansdell is also fairly near Blackpool, a run down seaside resort with a lot of deprivation. It's miles away from Liverpool. As the crow flies, it's 20 miles to Liverpool across the estuary but you're looking at a good 55 miles to drive there via 2 motorways (our equivalent of a freeway).
They produced the video on the one single day of the year when the sun shines in the UK! Regarding solar: We Europeans don't build solar panels on the roof to only supply our house with electricity. We produce electricity on the roof and feed it into the grid, for which we are paid by the grid operator. What we need ourselves stays in the house, the surplus is fed into the public grid!

@@NoobyTheBot good for you? You seemed to imply Europe is some far advanced utopia while the US is behind...it's not. We pioneered a lot of the stuff Europe uses today.
I really hate this house, it is too angular and corporate for my liking. However, I think that in the UK an indoor or an indoor/outdoor pool is best. You would only be able to use an outdoor pool for a few months a year there or use a whole lot of electricity to heat an outdoor pool in the cold months and most pool covers are not attractive IMO. I also like to swim at nights in the security of indoors. Gray can be pleasant and soothing as can be seen in Scandinavian decor and it is often better to embrace the gray than fight against it, but you need warmer kinds of gray for this location and a lot less of it.
A few days ago a friend from Uk showed me his indoor and outdoors tiles. It was Grey!! Grey is the ugliest colour, even in sunnier places.
Another weakness of this house is the flat roof & it being completely covered with solar panels. The only places you should have a flat roof are in arid areas or where hurricanes are a possibility - having a flat roof in a place where it rains constantly is really stupid. The constant rain will deteriorate the roof pretty quickly. Imagine how much it’ll cost to replace the weatherproof membrane on that roof.
For the master bedroom I would have one way glass. Having to close the curtains on a 10 mill home to have privacy from guests or family is not convenient.
Thanks Arvin!
The grey on grey is deliberate since it is just a coat of primer...ready for the next tenant to paint over!!
An outdoor pool is an absolute No No in england especially in the west, northwest bad weather from the Atlantic is so typical, its not just “regular rain”, its high freezing cold winds and typical storms, you have to be crazy to think that you would love to “relax” around that, better off imo to put a water feature there, also the master bedroom has a dressing room, it shows on the floor plans so it doesn’t need a wardrobe, i also like to point out i didn’t see any drainage around the firepit unless i missed that.
The first floor lounge is the waiting room at an Audi dealership.
Looks like the lobby of a Manhattan office building. Where are the other 57 floors.
maybe the sunken firepit with hedges around it is supposed to keep you warmer compared to if you were at ground level with wind blowing on you. and maybe they put the pool inside so they could put soccer/football goals in the backyard
All of which makes perfect sense.
OMG!!! The distribution!!! Those poor bedrooms!! I thought it was a super-lazy design from the first images, but never imagined it was so much so!!
Looks like an office reception space. So warm.
I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed with one of your opinions more than the one about the pool in this house. If you wanted to do an indoor/outdoor pool that’s fine, but having an outdoor pool in the UK is an awful idea. Who the hell has ever said “who cares if it’s raining, you’re already wet?” That’s just ridiculous. Plus it’s not necessarily the rain, it’s more about the temperature. Maybe an outdoor hot tub would be ok, but it’s way too cool to have only an outdoor pool in the UK. It’s not even warm enough for most of the summer to have an outdoor. You might get 15 to 20 days if you’re lucky. I guarantee you the pool is indoors because of the temperature, not the rain. Have you ever seen the rain the UK? Watch the British Open this summer. It doesn’t just rain, it blows in sideways. It will be like 55 degrees, raining, with 30 mph winds in August. This is just the most absurd thing I have ever heard you say.
Yeah! - There’s days here where the wind would be blowing the water out the pool 🌊 Rain & hail so hard that it hurts your skin! 😂

@@esosaimasuen8122exactly especially if it is not warm… like in England 😂
The emphasis on the English accent is such perfect British humour, I love it.
I'm generally not a fan of LHS because they always tour these grey, grey, grey houses. (And they feel a bit too Gen Z for my liking)
Don't get me wrong, I love a grey but in a large space you have to add dimension to and not be afraid to go balls to the wall with blacks and whites along with the grey.
The house could work warm or cold but only grey just makes it blah.
It's not fake, it's privet or box hedging. Very common in the UK. It cuts into very compact shapes. 50% off all houses have it. Very very common but it's not fake.
Privet is tender but possible in Seattle. It is beautiful and rare here. It gets nipped if pruned after July. Has lost ability to harden off then.
Hello Arvin. Thank you for this video, it was very interesting. You commented that there is no storing space for the master suite. They didn't show it in the video, but if you look at the layout at the beginning you will notice that there is a dressing room behind the master bedroom. For the other bedrooms, no luck. I would have guessed that they used the space under the bed for storing clothes, but well, there is a TV already there…
Video ideas: Do some on Enes' best properties as well. Will give us an idea of what to look for.
My top three are:
31m Marbella mansion
32.5m NYC penthouse
30m Jungle Backyard mansion
And maybe do some on Producer Michael's videos (they can be hilarious). Specially the video of The One Belair.
Would be great to watch imo. Fingers crossed we get it. Cheers!
Edit: Commenting again for reach. Hope you see it :)
Having to back out garage everyday is MAJOR flaw @ this price point but I’m assuming most people who can afford it won’t be living here full time
Garage is too small, also no direct access to the house. Why is it set back like that anyway?
A £10 million house in St. Anne’s? That thing could take 20 years to sell. Most of the money in England is in the London and the surrounding counties like Surrey and Berkshire. Lytham St Anne’s is 250 miles away from there.
The grey is what you get when you ask for an Indoor-Outdoor design in the UK.
ha!
I’m sorry but the front of this house looks like a car dealership. I’m fairly new to your channel and you are fantastic. Great dry sense of humor! Cheers
He said "hip height washing machines are useful", referring to the height of the doors so the operator doesn't need to constantly bend down.
You have an indoor pool because most of the year in a cooler climate you will be freezing your ass off swimming outdoors.
This in not California, the environment is different and tastes are different, Arwin appears to have forgotten that.
Checked the blueprints, and there is not a closet in either bedroom. Also, every car coming or going from that front drive is going to shine its lights right into your bedroom. You will need heavy duty blackout curtains to sleep.
Im from the UK and i agree i wish people would stop with the grey its got a choke hold Brits and this house has missed the marked i have seen much better houses
Wow another great video, Arvin continues to deliver the best videos!!!
1. (6:12) I'm hoping the garage or (gear-rodge) 😂 has one of those 360 turning floors. So that once you drive in, the floor will spin 180 degrees. 😁
2. (18:20) I don't like dark kitchens. No dark walls and countertops. A kitchen should start your day off with light, bright colors with plenty of natural sunlight and leafy green plants. Save the dark colors for your cigar and movie room
3. (20:50) You're right a swimming pool should be outside in the sunlight. That pool looks like someone turned their indoor bowling alley into a lap pool. 😝 If you live in a cool climate zone, just build a heated swimming pool outside. Then you can enjoy it for an Extra 1-2 months out of the year. 😎
We do love our greys here in the UK! Love your channel
FINALLY. A tour where the presenter has the manners to take their shoes off before entering the house. Possibly my biggest peeve with Enes tours. Once I noticed it, i couldn't unsee it.
Enes actually has multiple pairs of the same shoe which he switches out during the shoots,that's what Mickey said in that horrible castle mcmansion tour at least.
One of the flaws that you didn't pick up might be a bit European: The fact that there were separate AC units in some of the spaces.
How these high end newer houses generally work is that there are floor and ceiling pipes that can cool and heat the area, keeping all rooms at the desired level.
In general, in Europe, we don't like the airflow of an induced air system, obviously, it's better then overheating, but it's not prefered.
The presence of these units means that the build in heat exchanger can't keep up, and fair enough, that happens in my house too, some rooms are just not cooled as much as they should be with the main system. But then, mine isn't worth 10 million.
In such an expensive house, the rooms should be the right temperature without fussing about with mini-splits while the missus complains about the cold draft on her shoulders. If a room gets too hot, they should've installed more or better piping in the floor or a smarter system.
The front of the house and the foyer looks like the professional building of my dentist. If you put room numbers above the 4 doors in the foyer, it would be a match.
The reason the North bedroom has a mirror outside is to get some light, any light, into it.
I wonder if the designer, probably male, built this place for himself and to suit his own taste. But then decided or had to to sell it.
I was going to suggest this addition when you reviewed the Japanese penthouse that was so plain. This place needs the same treatment, PLANTS! They would warm up the place, and make it more livable, but all the grays are a downer mood wise! The pool area looks far from being a fun place to spend time, no room in this house looks enjoyable to be in!
I think if a new family just moved in, still get used to where the light switches are, they would lose direction at night cause everything is black and grey.
For a 10 million quid house, I agree bedrooms looks small. furthermore, this is only 1 guest bedroom have wardrobe (closet), but none of them have a little desk or table to put some stuff on. expect to see there are some little desk or made up table at all; TVs stick to beds seems dangerous, that could be someone knock on to the bed, for whatever reason, would injure the person and also could damage the TV.
Wow, I actually thought of something important before Arvin said it. Really bad landscaping, no grass in front, and most importantly no wood floors inside. All I saw was grey an gloom, huge mistake not going wood floors. It ruined the house for me.
But did you say “missed opportunity “ ???
