Doesn't look like it would take much to make it back into a lovely home. Must absolutely stink though!

Interestingly I looked around a house many years ago that had been used as a grow farm and it didn't smell of anything. I think the holes in every ceiling put most buyers off and it was bought by a professional renovation company in the end.

This is my "if I won the lottery house" at the moment, but is it just me or is 1.8 mil quite expensive for a 4 bed townhouse in Warwickshire, I'm a serial renter so I have no idea what a decent house price is
(though it is right in the town centre and can probably see Shakespeare's birthplace from your bedroom window)

lovely house, but absolute notions asking for that much. I honestly wonder when people sell who they imagine will buy their house, like surely if they lived in the real world they'd know 1.8mil is out of the question.

£4000 service charge as well, wtf. Basically £10/day going straight to the management company. For what?
63 year lease so it's value may well be starting to decrease each year instead of increase.

I actually know that building, I go past it quite often when I stay in Hammersmith down the road. There is a bus stop outside that I've waited at quite a few times.

I like how they say "24 hour M&S downstairs" in the description like it's a good thing? Are the lorries arriving at 4am to restock it, and the clanking of the tail lift and the cages of stock a good thing? If it's anything like the mini Sainsburys I used to have near a place I lived, as well as the daily / twice daily M&S lorry you also had the lorries that deliver the milk, and the bread, separately each morning. And one to take away rubbish. Very noisy living above a shop like that.

I mean, I know studio flats have a place and purpose for several reasons. But that one’s not marketed as a studio, it’s marketed as a one bed which should have space to live, not all cramped up.
Seeing all those clothes boxes and utility equipment crammed in around the bed made me sad and really see my privilege actually, like that seems like a single person in that flat but sure there’s many families with kids in one beds and that really illustrates how cramped it must be

Also the 24 hour M&S is in a garage across the crossing afaik, not downstairs . A garage supermarket is not the same..

it's 367sqft which isn't TOO bad. And does have distinct rooms for lounge/kitchen and bedroom so not really a studio. It's just that whoever lives there now misunderstood what "warehouse living" meant and jam packed it with boxes

Agreed, that would be fine if you cleared it out. Bit squashed for a couple maybe, but I'd live there on my own quite happily.

Yeah they need to come to terms they don't have space for a dining table and dressing table 😂 champagne lifestyle on one room budget comes to mind
