I suspect the latter, as some of the built-in furniture looks knackered, and there's no way any sane person below the age of 80 could really live with that kitchen or bathroom.Regardless, it's sitting on a v large plot of land for London, and I suspect that's why they're asking 2 million.

It's an eyesore from the front but it's a mansion by ED standards.

Angelina Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Two million? I'd rather buy a place near the sea and a smaller house and maybe another flat...

It's different because it's detached and has a v large garden.In fact I wonder if it's priced with a view to a developer knocking it down.

The garden is enormous.

It must have been cutting edge design when it was built however the rooms are small and the windows are really pokey.It is semi-detached which detracts from its value but (as a hobbyist and handyman) what I really like is the 35 foot garage. What couldn't one do with a space like that! Enough for both a car and a full blown workshop.

Jason painter Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I have friends in Marmora Road who have recently put their house on the market, it has lots of potential and for a property developer and a huge garden.
