    Too often these refurbishments destroy the character of old homes by modernising them too much, or dropping the ceilings and so forth. Invariably they are painted and decorated in bland shades of beige, "mocha," "chocolate" and the like. In such cases I always wish that the developer would consult a designer who's made a name for themselves.

    Absolutely hate the furnishing. The kitchen design is ugly, especially the bar area, the sofa being opposite the bar and not the tv on the second floor is a no. All the sofas and pillows being just grey on grey, the trend is over. The office is awkwardly placed next to the dining room. The space before kitchen would have been better if it was some bookcase nook with pair of armchairs or leisure seetee or something. All the bedrooms look like couples/adults bedroom and not as a house for a family with bunch of kids, not even teenagers. It's all modern and old fashion at the same time. Not fan of carpets, but that's my preference. The space as such is nice, but the interior is a no.

    No private lounge area for the chef, plus he has the utilities in his kitchen working area. 😵‍💫
    The property has a superlative finish altogether, with both cohesion and flow, although it seems quite cramped in some areas with narrow spaces such as the make up area behind the master bedroom, and narrow staircases in general.
    The decor seems very masculine, with lots of angles and high gloss everywhere. Definitely a challenge finding the right buyer for this property.

      It’s because these extremely expensive properties are designed specifically for the Middle Eastern market, and due to the fact that the vast majority of the high end property in London is historic architecture, their “taste” is sadly what you see imprinted onto 18th and 19th century townhouses/ apartments. This is happening in many expensive European cities, and is a real shame - although at least the outside architecture is completely preserved by law.

I have lovingly restored, and now live in, an early 15th century cottage in the English countryside, and have GREAT respect for architectural authenticity. Thankfully, what has happened to the townhouse in this video is very rare in the grand scheme of things; for example, my local city (Bath, England) is made up entirely of 18th century stone townhouses - and interiors are kept completely authentic to the time period. The Middle Eastern taste is limited to some of the most expensive townhouses in London that do not have listed interiors.

    I used to live on Lower Belgrave Street over twenty-five years ago. When Belgravia was a nice place to live. When the majority of real owners of the properties actually lived in these properties. Before these houses were starting to become overpriced and bought by these overseas investors that don't actually live in England! This was even before the Google building was built near Victoria Station. I used to live and work in the area and used to cycle around the area. I know this area very well. Belgravia and the surrounding areas have so much history. However, it lost its character and charm over years. I am glad I left. It is now a dead corporate place with no feeling. £23 Million just proves what I mean.

    My guess is, the developer opened up 3 separate properties to make into 1. Looking at the width of the property, it was not a huge property to start with. The 3 properties would come to ca £8m total. The basement extension (swimming pool) would cost £1m max, the rest structural work can be done £1m max. The kitchen and interior design would cost about £1-1.5m max using the highest quality materials. It would take 12-18months including planning permission (add 8% financing cost). The total cost would have been ca £12-13m max including a designated project manager.
    It would definitely take someone a decent amount of time to put the project together but if you are to live in it, you would want to tailor it to your own taste anyways (kitchen, beds, sofas, showers definitely not fit everyone’s taste or needs). It does not even have a lift inside (once again, the width is too narrow and the layout is peculiar to install a lift for 2B-3F property).
    One peculiar thing is, it has a chef’s kitchen which is norm nowadays but where is the servants’ living quarters? Food lift from the chef’s kitchen into the study/ office is more than peculiar. It does not appear to have any garden area either (communal garden access maybe?).
    It is norm to have segregated servants’ quarters with separate entrance (or a separate small unit in a corner of the garden).
    Unusual layout and arrangements throughout. Overly cramped for such narrow property.
    If I were to scoop out the cost, I would rather take my time and find the right property (wider and semi-detached) and hire the best designer and project management team to do it myself.
    Such size property without servant quarter and lift is a no go.

    The front of these houses are so impressive. With this interior, each to their own I guess. It’s too shiny blingy and staged for my taste The only thing that has any soul for me is the atrium with the living wall. If I had this kind of budget I would not spend it on this property, unless I could knock the price right down as it would be a rip and re do apart from the spa and pool. there is no wow factor for me at all. It feels claustrophobic and there’s no natural flow to any of the spaces. I’m guessing this is not a home as such but maybe a place to stay when the owners are in town on business???

I think that the morons that 'refurbish' these places are the ones with no taste, and that if that's all that they can offer, then the properties will be bought as they are. If they designed a tasteful interior in accordance with the age of the property, surely the oligarchs and the Saudis would wish to buy them? Or was our client an exception?

    I would have liked to see a better look at that dining table - I suspect it is quite spectacular.

      The intro was suspenseful. It made me FEEL the grandeur of this home and I got really excited about it. Helpful hint: when you introduced the reception room it was a bit disorienting because I had already seen a bedroom, bathroom, etc. A more natural flow is to display the rooms in the order you would show them to an actual guest.

    • @evelynzlon9492
      @evelynzlon9492 Год назад

      In fairness this property has an unusual layout where some private rooms do precede the reception room. There's no way for an agent to assess how the room order hits you on a gut level. Now you know in the event this situation arises again. Live and learn.
