Inside a £40,000,000 London Town House | Eaton Square, Belgravia

[@maggiesantos2140]

Only one word could ever describe that interior: ghastly.

[@bitterbeauty711]

I agree

[@smoath]

You'd have to spend a few more millions to make it tasteful again.

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

You'd have to. Which is N/A kuz you'll never even come close to having anywhere near that amount of money. Some people, however, would like it as is. Other people do have different taste to you, you know..

[@yvonneshelton2505]

Haha yes indeed

[@LyraDavis]

You’re not wrong. It’s hideous. My guess is they’re trying to appeal to a Saudi prince who will no doubt snap it up and then forget they even own it.

Pfff 😂 true...

[@MrPhantom1961]

Each to their own. I think if you hadn't collected the pieces around the house or been involved in choosing the internal decor you would find this very hard to live with on a day-to-day basis.

Could not imagine ANYONE from the UK purchasing this home with its interiors ? Must be from the Middle East ?

[@sithlordrj8883]

Nah, it's owned by either European or an American..didn't you notice a pic of the lady of the house with Michelle Obama? As for ppl from the ME, well, one of the first things they look for is a lift..as they have huge families with older members. But this is configured as a 2 bed house, so definitely not someone from the ME or even anywhere in the East.

The 1800s Aristocratic interior actually looks pretty nice in some parts of the house. I'd say the house is worth 10 million at most which means the rest 30 million value is for the Location, Location, Location 🤑🤑🤑

Just a few tips for home showing: Lavatory, never toilet. Wash-hand basin in a bathroom, never a sink. Communicating bathroom and never ensuite.

[@thenorthwatch777]

All that’s missing here is Count Dracula and his Coffin, then the decor will be complete.

[@abc2662]

Very palatial, but I'd be overwhelmed by the amount of visual information within a week living there.

[@kozmikhannah]

I would transform some of the room into guest rooms. But generally I like the vibe of the interior, taking me back to Victorian age. I just can't believe the toilet on the ground floor would look like that.

[@mrmuds8624]

Looks like it was styled by someone born in 1850. Never seen such an expensive house with such ugly decor. Seems like somewhere you would expect someone like Jacob Reese Mogg to live. 40 mil for what is essentially a terraced house is also a bit of a joke.

[@Ckrisg1]

You get a £5M Mews House thrown in at that price don't forget 🤣

[@bethanyevans1747]

1850 ? You're being really nice here, i'd say around 1700-1750...

[@lala-ct9ir]

It's got little to do with any past century or Englishman, everything to do with Middle Eastern taste in interior design.

[@willsmith39]

This is undoubtedly one of the most stunning properties I've ever seen in my life - stunningly ghastly that is. A massive migraine inducing blinged to the max shrine to bad taste. The sort of thing Donald and Melania would look at and say "I think you've maybe over done it a bit" The previous owner - Moldovan Oligarch or perhaps a Columbian Drug Cartel Head - has clearly spared no expense in vomiting as much chintz at every surface as humanly possible. Step 1 - buy it and insure it for 60m Step 2 - pay one of your criminal underworld contacts to have it burnt to the ground Step 3 - pocket a cool 20m and buy something that vaguely resembles a home at least

[@lala-ct9ir]

The owner was not an oligarch or in drugs but a pretty remarkable Iraqi businessman, who died a couple of years ago. Bad taste or not his list of accomplishments is long and impressive. He had children and grandchildren, who can read these comments

[@kaitlyn1689]

​@#lala oh yeah wouldn't want to make the multimillionaires grandkid cry. What are you on about??

[@willsmith39]

@@lala-ct9ir A few things. First off, it's the internet you could be anyone, forgive me if I don't automatically assume any of the above is true or you knew this amazing Iraqi and his family. As incredible as it sounds - and I hope you're sitting down for this - people sometimes make stuff up online to get attention. Mind blown I'm sure 🙄 But I'll play along for now and let's assume you were actually best buds with this gazillionaire with questionable 🙄 taste in interior design. I doubt he gives a fling f#ck what some random in this comments section thinks. Especially since as you say - he's dead now. The dead are generally hard to offend. As for his children who apparently will be offended on his behalf I think it's a bit of a stretch to assume they're subscribers to some random property vlogger and spend their days scouring the comments section for any perceived slights. In short - you're being absolutely ridiculous. Try not to take life quite so seriously.

I suspect, currently owned by a Middle Eastern person. Would be very interested to know if I’m correct.

[@soniaferreira2811]

[@Ericthegreat1483]

Wow to be able to only need 2 bedrooms in that home with what looks like a large family of potential visitors from the photos says a lot about the family’s wealth, huge and impressive space for London

[@jonl3696]

Indeed. It was the home of a very influential billionaire investment banker who passed away three years ago. His family has extensive properties around the world and perhaps didn't see the need to keep a leasehold house in Eaton Square.

[@MrTattedFit]

House interior is shocking but more of Amy please 👍🏽

[@ro55ker]

[@grahams_number]

There is traditional, and there is outdated, this is the latter. Definitely Eastern European or Middle Eastern ownership.

[@BuffaloDoctor]

Money and taste are two VERY separate things

[@peger7320]

To be honest - this house is essentially missing two things: taste and an explosion chamber.

[@davidh4632]

Looks like it is designed for Indian or Chinese, very gaudy. Proof money doesn't buy taste, lots of marble that doesn't flow well with other colours. Only the library looks half decent but even that needs ceiling redesigned.

[@danywho8898]

It is definitely impressive, but living there I would constantly feel like I’m in an episode of Downton Abbey.

AMY great job as always on the tours that you do, sorry this certainly is way too ornate for my liking, do like the room sizes and the bones of the structure, could use a complete remodel, Besides contemporary one of my main styles is 1930's ART DECO this would like stunning in that style, like the stone pillars in the living room and the skylights though!! And again you are paying for the premier location and size of the actual property!! GREAT SEEING THAT LOVELY SMILE WHEN YOU SAT DOWN ON THE SOFA, KEEP UP WITH THE GREAT TOURS AMY!!😀💯👍

Thankfully a decor that reflects the period of the house. Not done perfectly by any means but at least the house has not been destroyed and a soulless ugly modern interior imposed which is so often the case.

I understand the price tag..But this is just too much! Yikes... Who actually likes this? Speaking of " over the top" .. This is IT! Take all your crap out, , leave the bear essentials and it maybe it could be great..

[@woodshed_moments]

Belgravia , that is to say Eaton, is simply my favorite location in London... east London is gorgeous. I don't mind period architecture matter of fact I love it. However, I'm not a fan of modern - its lack of detail is sold as uncluttered, right... how about just uncluttered between the ears. But this is just over the top gaudy and conspicuous... But again, is the counterbalance, the push towards modern has been so pervasive in london, going the opposite direction may have a benefit.
