It seems like too much of the house is "below stairs." Layout is pretty complicated, there are too many stairs to deal with. It's kind of like a beautiful bunker rather than a house.
✳️ it's perfect for wheelchair users 😝
yes i did’nt understand the appartment at all
Designed for Harry Potter
Previously kitchens and staff quarters I expect. These houses are very old
Yeah, I’m completely underwhelmed. Runty closets and patio. Heat rises so the bedroom should be upstairs. My cheap apartment has a better floor plan.
2.5M for what is essentially a small basement apartment. Mental London prices.
You can only wonder what the ground rent and service charges are as I guess it will be leasehold unless you are lucky enough to have a share of the freehold even if you did you would still be responsible for your share of the maintenance for the entire structure of the house including the roof.
Don't home shop in California or New York
2.5 M £ not just 2.5 M 👀
The problem of these beautiful houses are mainly several to take into account: (A) Soundproofing. (B) The windows. (C) The clothes dryer. (D) The location of electricity and water meters. (E) The mailbox for mail collection. (F) They lack a garage for the car. (G) Difficulty for older people and babies having to go up and down interior stairs. (H)...
yes agree wondering who would live in these places 🤔
Agree with difficulty that stairs presents for elderly and disabled. The only way to get around that is to install a stair lift (the kind with a seat) but that is expensive. Unfortunately in older cities like London as well as New York and Philadelphia in the US, it is difficult to have accessible housing since many buildings are older.
(I) It is in London.
You would be nuts to drive a car in London. It’s far too busy and no place to park. Transit system (Tube, buses) better way to get around.
True… This will be sold to someone rich who does not live in London but wants a pad for when they are here… with turning the small bedroom into an office…
You'll have to carry the food down a hallway, around a corner and then up and down two staircases to get from the kitchen to the dining table in sitting room. Yeah, I’ll pass.
A house where you can't look out the window is not a house. this is a garage, a bunker but not a house.
Yup. That funny shaped bathroom is that shape because it's a converted coal cellar. I grew up in Kensington and trust me, that there is one real cobbled-together kind of a set up. It has got one halfway decent room - and they have had to set it up as a living room cum dining room. And it has a really depressing outlook. Kensington is a lovely part of London, but those red-brick 'late Victorian' style streets are really early Edwardian, and they are pretty grim architecturally. The earlier, white stucco buildings tend to be a lot nicer - much, much larger rooms and no hideous angle-bay window to the front.
love the interior style, but its quite tiny and the layout is very confusing and overwhelming with all those stairs
Lots of treacherous stairs.
not an flat for a disabled person 4 sure
Over priced
UK Houses are forever tiny.
@@mzeve8964 You know what they say about tiny houses; tiny house, tiny ... furniture. ;)
Seems to be some law that says every London apartment over a certain price tag has to be painted beige and grey. The higher the price the more bland the decor.
So it's the poky servant's quarters/corridors/cupboards below stairs, with some awkward stairs linking it to a couple of ground level rooms? Hmm, two and a half million? Basically you're paying for the postcode.
The smallest bedroom should be an office...way to small for a bedroom.
Ha! Our hotel room in London about same size, and lower level. I agree, culture shock to some of us American’s. And not inexpensive either.
I won’t spend £2.5M to live underground with so may stairs. 😆
I can guarantee you, the original layout of this home wasn’t this complicated.
Investment in stocks is a great way to invest your money. The team is constantly checking the market for changes and make sure that you are always informed about the best time to invest. As a result, I have made more money than ever before, and I don't have to manage my portfolio on my own! Invest in stocks, it's worth it!
@@lailaalfaddil7389 spot on; you can have an automatic plant watering system
Cant believe this tiny jail space is $2.5M..
My thoughts exactly
Posh neighbourhood.
That’s £2.5M, which is US$3M!
How much would this same “jail space” cost in Manhattan?
Also the views are not very nice, imagine waking up and looking at some stairs
I'd better have a whole driveway and 8 bedrooms with that price tag!
U guys r such a vibeee I love how chill and casual but yet insightful all ure vids r . Kensington definitely has my hearttt, Thanks for taking us inside these amazing buildings 💖💖
The mouldings are scrumptious, but the stairs would be a nightmare (for me, anyway). Thanks for sharing!
Imagine the dust that would accumulate on all that moulding. But then I suppose if you can afford something like that you'd have an army of cleaners. 😄
Me too - would need a banister rail otherwise easy to take a tumble down those stairs and rooms look very cramped 🤔
@@carolward1142Yes!
Two words come to mind: maze and dungeon.
Lower ground = basement 🙊🙉🙈🤓😱🤗
Home is very dark considering all the lights are on. And there seem to be so many steps and sharp turns.
Nicely done apartment in a good location. But you will be living to 50% in the cellar, with one well sized bedroom, two tiny bedrooms and a strange arrangement of combined living and dining room. Just imagine get food from the kitchen to that dining table. And like other commentators said too many stairs and corners, and all for ridiculous 2,5 millions. People will be queuing 😅
Love the kitchen and the corniche. I'm not crazy about the bedrooms downstairs. It feels a we bit claustrophobic.
I really enjoyed this tour - thanks! Great presentation!
Very charming. Absolutely love they didn't butcher it with all morden fixing but instead kept some of the classic charm💓
I would not trade my two bedroom condo for this. It is a fractured hip in the making.
Looks so beautiful 🥰 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a great day everyone 🌻
Not suited for elderly people, I find it compact but beautifully decorated 👍
Loved this! Vacationed in London 10/22, and visited Kensington Palace. Walking around these picturesque neighborhoods, longing to explore a home. Now I have thanks to your video! Beautiful home, tastefully decorated. Having traveled to London,Edinburgh, Paris, Madrid, at first all the levels and stairs were so strange to me. Now I understand, everything is so old. Here in CA, we have nothing to compare, except our Spanish missions. Love the big windows and high ceilings. Kitchen would be a challenge, here we have huge kitchens with double ovens and min 4 burner stovetops! Where was the refrigerator , washer and dryer?
I thought this was a lovely apartment but there are so many negative comments on here I was wondering why. Then I saw yours and thought, yes, exactly what I thought. In a great area where space is so expensive, and the folk that live here can no doubt afford a second home! I envy them and wonder if sour grapes wasn't really the problem with some posts. XXX
@cajsheen2594 No sour grapes from Americans. We can't abide tiny interiors. We have the money, but we want value, comfort and multiple large rooms for the price.
Loving your house tours!
Charmingly delightful hosts.
Wow and thats what 2.5mil gets you 😯 in Kensington..... Rather live in a house with a driveway and garden
you can get a house and a driveway in central London, you just need to pay much much more, space is a premium in any central part of a city, especially London, driveways and gardens are a luxury..... go to the suburbs and you can get a garden and driveway no problem.... and probably for much less
yeah you could live in a boring place with a driveway and garden where there really is nothing to do... But you could sit in your garden the whole day I guess. Some people like living in a city, why always this BS about gardens and driveways?
@@frevebe7693 🤣🤣 i live in west london the while of london is a shit whole its designed for tourists
@@charlesjay8818 30 minutes drive from london and you can get a hell of alot more for way less than a million
@@michaelkearney3110 i totally agree! But thats the price and size you will pay in central London or in any city. But there are people who don't to live 30/60mins away, not everybody has a family and is on a budget who would rather have more space and a garden and drive and live further away. And don't forget alot of these wealthy people are not buying these expensive properties in central London to live in like normal people, it's a way to dump their cash as an investment. Some even keep them empty most of the year and only use it for a few weeks or the odd month a year
Beautifully decorated, crazy layout and he didn't show the shower because she barely fit under the showerhead. Too much exposure to the neighbors or outside in the bedrooms. Japanese or Russian investment property.
lovely video it brings back my memories of visiting london
I would have like a more traditional kitchen but it's a great house. I love walking through a London neighborhood at night because a lot of people have their curtains open and it's fun to catch a glimps, like I saw a lady doing her dishes, and another room in another unit had wonderful artwork on the walls. LOL I'm not a voyeur because they knew people could see in. In a lot of homes there is a floor below street level.
I'd love to have a flat in London. Don't need a house this big. So much character.
Wow! A measly 1,300 sq. ft. for $2.5 million!!! Absolutely, not worth the money. The finishes were medium grade.
This really reminds me when I was having my school breaks while studying in UK back in early 2k's..
AWESOME! So few people ever bother to show the neighborhood. Good use of an unusual layout.
The stairs are a bit much. But it’s a beautiful home.
Fabulous! Congratulations!
Thank you for your touring.
Great show, but you'd be drunk to drop 2.5mil on a flat of this size. You can get quadruple the size for a place in America.
Thank you , so beautiful, you two are so sweet.
Stunning apartment tour guys, beautiful location I mean who wouldn’t want to live in Kensington 😍😂. 👍👏
Back in the mid 40s I was brought up in West Kensington in a 3 storey slum. There was my mum and dad and brother in 2 rooms and a kitchen on the top floor. No bathroom, toilet out the back shared with everyone else. Bloke in the middle floor always drunk and not particular about his toilet habits and a couple of old tramps in the basement who used a bucket. My mum was offered to buy the house for £900 at one stage but that was a fortune to us. We all moved on but those houses nowadays have been bought up, gutted and now go for around the million mark.
I'd rather have a tiny flat in Hamsptead.
Too many stairs abit claustrophobic as well I think for that price I could get a nice spacious place with a great view in the countryside
Compact. I like the varied levels.
Only issue is getting to the courtyard through the bedroom
beautifully decorated!! Well done guys, you are so natural.
Great apartment.
Really like the vibe from Tom and Jaz - I will what the rest of their tours.
Modern, elegant and luxury interior design.
There's a lot of room for improvement in the layout in order to make daily life movement convenient and sensible .....
I work in this area. Although the houses are beautiful to look at you couldn't pay me enough to live in them. Most of them have been butchered beyond recognition and just don't work for modern day living. The only original feature is the outside brickwork. Too small, not enough light unless you live on the upper floors of an apartment. Boxed in with people above and below if you live in an apartment and you're lucky if you get to have a window box to grow anything.
This house has far too many stairs going to random rooms
I used to live next to this exact street as a kid😂 One bedroom flat with HA and I definitely grew up poor but never felt it living in the Gloucester Road area. Despite the fact it was one bedroom it was actually really big. The ceilings were also super tall so you don’t feel it + there was a communal garden at the back (only owners were allowed there though not renters😢). I miss the area though despite all the carjacking. 😂
All that money for a basement flat😂
When I’m pissed I may fall upstairs, I would break my neck in this place- but the bedroom bay window view made up for it 😂
Lovely bunker type. The layout is quite odd though but interesting nonetheless
Very Nicely Designed and Maintained Property 👍I Like It 👍
Looks nice, nice colour scheme. Maybe a bit to small in places with extra tables & to many stairs. Downstairs is a nice size & the master is nice don’t like the bathroom though should have done it all in marble. Nice small courtyard which is hard to find these days in London. Good investment property
This is too expensive for what it is. It reminds me of a chicken house with way too small rooms.
I actually love it
The layout is rare, to sai something, all the tiny steps are a recipe for desaster
Um belo apartamento. Acabamento maravilhoso, decoração de excelente bom gosto. Parabéns pelo vídeo.
Thank you for the house tour, good job guys:
Myself can dream a little more ,
and yes Fabulous city of London , so much to see and do and savor
In Kensington ❤
Mary Canada 🇨🇦
Hi guys fantastic video what a wonderful duplex i live in hertfordshire takes 40mins on a train to london house prices you get alot more for your money a det with own drive 9000some are 4beds landscaped gardens
Un Lugar de privilegio, excelencia naturaleza y tranquilidad. Residencia con una decoración armoniosa ,inspira tranquilidad cómoda simple con toques de distinción
If I had that type of money, which I don't, I would want somewhere with a garden. However, it's v well decorated with original features. Are you both estate agents?
gives new meaning to the show Upstairs downstairs!
Beautiful house,big ups guys😍
I know I shouldn't laugh at someone's misery
but that was charming.
Keep it up you guys! xx
It is small but I really love it 😍
In the US, you can get a real nice, well built home for this price. This price would be about a 6000sq. foot home with custom appliances etc. I do not care for this place or the layout of it at all. The main bedroom is too small for one.
COMPLIMENTISSIMI.. OTTIMO VIDEO. 🏠👑👍✌👊👏👏
Thank you for sharing. An unfamiliar area.
Nice
Also it’s rosary gardens 🥳
It's like that scene in the film "Labyrinth" with David Bowie with all those mad stairs going up and down and back again.
Hmm I'm not sure I'd pay £2m for tiny rooms and absolutely no garden and green but on the other side it's central to every shop and accessible .. also the apartment is not WOW! For that price, I was expecting a space giving more 'lush' and 'upmarket' vibes but not the case for this one.
Sorry this sounds so weird but your voices are so nice & calming haha
It seems beautifully done, but you'd need to keep sober with all those steps up and down! It'd be rough having a wine tasting for sure! HAHA
narrow, small, not worth the price. whats the locaton worth if you have claustrophobia from all those corridors.
BUONGIORNO, CHE MERAVIGLIA.. SUPER TOP👑👍✌👊👏👏
Great area and interior design. Multiple levels and stairs are problem and lack of outdoor space.
Tiny for what it is and the price is horrifyingly high.
Very nice
A mile from the kitchen to the dining area, and 3 glasses of wine you could break your leg negotiating all the twists, turns and stairs out of nowhere ! 🤣
Really nice, but how much are the monthly/yearly maintenance fees?
Charming!
I started screaming when I saw the area cause I used to live here 😂 Definitely not ownership (housing association rent) but this is so exciting.
Where?
Who'd live in London let alone Kensington. My house is several times bigger, a fraction of the price and doesn't look like a recently made-up hotel suite. This is not for real people with all their mess, their accoutrements, belongings, habits, &c. It's like a prison cell - I feel claustrophobic - let me out!
A master bedroom with a view of stairs and a second bedroom with a door to a balcony?
Nice video but I think you should have videoed more on the immediate location ie shops, eateries, bars, laundry. I think someone buying this apartment would be very interested in the local amenities
if they had kept the apartment upto 2 bed instead of 3, it would have been more spaced out.
Steps everywhere!
Is there a Powder Room for guests on the first floor? Can be complicated for a guest who cannot make a lot of stairs...
It's lovely and I appreciate that it's not overdecorated. We do that a lot here in the states. It works for me and I actually think 2.5 is a really decent price to live in Kensington.
walking out of the living room back into the hall there's a really sharp corner at head height which looks like the flat upstair's stairs - one could imagine banging one's head on that especially after a glass or two of champs.
Awesome great super Nice
That’s a beautiful place!! Does the cost include the furniture?
Nice very very beautiful✨😍❤
Tom and jaz are doing great but I miss how Matt and Summers never forgets even a little details. Although newbes are doing really awsom work but unfortunately they miss few things in every tour. Best of luck guys.
I wonder what happened to Matt and Summer?
@@katrinstephens1562 Its clearly some jealousy. Best of luck watching scraps from this point onwards. Its still alot better than what u could do. If u made a house tour video it would get zero to 1 view.
@@katrinstephens1562 I was only winding u up haha. I will be taking an extended holiday in the gold coast come winter time.
@@katrinstephens1562 I promise to make an aussie vlog and give you a shout out. It will be from the gold coast. I doubt u will be going there.
@@katrinstephens1562 I got bored of this now. I will wait for you to attack Matt & Summer or poor Tom & Jaz before I comment again. It's not only you and alot do it.
😂🤣😃😄😅 sorry I laughed when you knocked your self on the shower glass hope you are fine and well
😂😂 I’m all good thank you, it was funny 😂
beautiful apartment..is Kensington!!!!!!!OMG.
Tom and Jaz are doing a good job as replacements for Matt and Summer who are as good as retired. I would take a brave step and make your own channel.
£1.3M in Preston gets you a 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom mansion. With its own garden, land area, pool, etc.
At 0:25 you'll see disgusting bricks, literally crumbling off the building. While the interior finishes are appealing, the apartment is rather claustrophobic, and winds around like the interior of a catacomb, with plenty of treacherous stairs. For the price of this luxury dungeon you could buy a spacious home in Nice, France, or a mansion somewhere in America with great weather.
When you look at a beautiful rose bush I bet all you see are thorns!
Good spot
@@kingquinn3897 Wrong, I expect value for money and for the weeds to be pulled.
You’re paying for the location, the flat itself is awful
This is London, and Kensington. You have to pay for this area.
I love it and the area but too expensive for me.👌🇬🇧
