London has the 'Moped mugging' epidemic to deal with which trashes quality of life. Latest example is a CCTV? vid from Amanda Holden of BGT fame, recorded by her (from her house ? from a friend's house ?) at midday last Thursday in Richmond where Sandpits Rd meets Petersham Rd, Richmond TW10 7DA; from Zoopla, current average value of a gaff in that postode is £1,590,123

A couple of mopeds draw up, 2 passengers get off, wait at Sandpits Rd/Petersham Rd junction to ambush next passing pedestrian. Midday of course, broad daylight. Woman arrives walking with kid, muggers attempt to steal her watch, she escapes, scaffolders see cafuffle, stop their passing lorry, get off and chase after the muggers with scaffold 'weapons'. Nothing taken, no one hurt this time.

£2M for a crib in Richmond and still get that outside the front door in broad daylight !

Muggers? Looks more like attempted child abduction.

Ssshhh. Let those Londoners work themselves to death to pay £2m for some tuliphole terraced house and leave the West country for those of use with more sense.

Despite it's country bumpkin lifestyle the South West is great for WFH as many places seem to be fully BT fibre'd up. Probably all that aforementioned London money pouring in with their second/holiday homes down here.

It is a nice spot to be sure, Bath being one of my fav spots and a direct line into Paddington. Winchester also a top spot.

Both seem to be so populated of late.

Well for Londoners who bought in the 80s and 90s, the sorts of prices in this thread are chump change.

Jeez, that is cheap as chips ...

Overlooks a lovely tidal estuary and not in the centre of Newquay either.

Must admit, I'd rather get this and have £1.1m to get it how I wanted:

Nice place - but if the shielding conifer tree line in Pic 5 ever came under threat from the "right to light brigade" it would mean being over looked by the lower social orders

[LondonManc]

How odd, I was in Newquay two weeks ago, staying at a hotel not far from that house and walked past it during a stroll.

£2m quid though, and Newquay is a rough old dump apart from the beaches.

Mermaid's Isle

Gentlemen, ladies, and those undecided, I'd like to commend the following for your delectation!

Mermaid's Isle

I know it's in Ireland but still...

what an architectural feckup the architect should be ashamed the drive and entrance should be at the shore side of the house enabling the sea side of the house to have a both private and sea facing terrace

as it is the biggest asset of the property, ie the view, is used up by the entrance drive and garage


and consequently the summer terrace is at the shore side of the house and over looked by a block of flats


what a feck up


the interior design suggests the owner might be Russian new money which would explain the lack of appreciation of the property's most precious asset

Milan.

Forget all that, £2,000,000

You is 'aving a laugh.

Decor's very much an individual thing. Don't mind it modern like that by the sea. Certainly suits seafront and urban better than it would a house in the countryside, which looks better like this, a few miles inland:

Tucked away from Newquay town centre, overlooking the beach, just by the South West coast path....

Great location, horrid inside though - way too modern.
