Touring a £23,000,000 Belgravia Townhouse with a Waterfall | London Real Estate

Too often these refurbishments destroy the character of old homes by modernising them too much, or dropping the ceilings and so forth. Invariably they are painted and decorated in bland shades of beige, "mocha," "chocolate" and the like. In such cases I always wish that the developer would consult a designer who's made a name for themselves.

the dressing table behind the bed is a disaster, feels very claustrophobic, much like the rest of the house.

No private lounge area for the chef, plus he has the utilities in his kitchen working area. 😵‍💫 The property has a superlative finish altogether, with both cohesion and flow, although it seems quite cramped in some areas with narrow spaces such as the make up area behind the master bedroom, and narrow staircases in general. The decor seems very masculine, with lots of angles and high gloss everywhere. Definitely a challenge finding the right buyer for this property.

Absolutely hate the furnishing. The kitchen design is ugly, especially the bar area, the sofa being opposite the bar and not the tv on the second floor is a no. All the sofas and pillows being just grey on grey, the trend is over. The office is awkwardly placed next to the dining room. The space before kitchen would have been better if it was some bookcase nook with pair of armchairs or leisure seetee or something. All the bedrooms look like couples/adults bedroom and not as a house for a family with bunch of kids, not even teenagers. It's all modern and old fashion at the same time. Not fan of carpets, but that's my preference. The space as such is nice, but the interior is a no.

Why put a completely modern home in a Georgian mansion? Almost any reference to the home’s history seems to have been erased. Rather sad even if beautiful

[@tamaracarter1836]

It’s because these extremely expensive properties are designed specifically for the Middle Eastern market, and due to the fact that the vast majority of the high end property in London is historic architecture, their “taste” is sadly what you see imprinted onto 18th and 19th century townhouses/ apartments. This is happening in many expensive European cities, and is a real shame - although at least the outside architecture is completely preserved by law.

@@tamaracarter1836 I understand that…it is simply a travesty that classic, historic design is sacrificed in favor of looking like a high end hotel.

[@tamaracarter1836]

@@gregorymost4906 Oh I completely agree with you. I have lovingly restored, and now live in, an early 15th century cottage in the English countryside, and have GREAT respect for architectural authenticity. Thankfully, what has happened to the townhouse in this video is very rare in the grand scheme of things; for example, my local city (Bath, England) is made up entirely of 18th century stone townhouses - and interiors are kept completely authentic to the time period. The Middle Eastern taste is limited to some of the most expensive townhouses in London that do not have listed interiors.

[@elisabethhopson5639]

I agree with you Gregory, this was probably a grade 1 or grade2 listed building. Both exterior and interior features should have been kept. I wonder what has happened to Building control in this borough? This appalling act of vandalism should never have been allowed. On another note, how on earth would anyone actually live in this? You would have to wear gloves everywhere as just 1 fingerprint would ruin the entire house! Staggering really.

[@tiriqmoss434]

These homes you show are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen!

[@bgshin2879]

My guess is, the developer opened up 3 separate properties to make into 1. Looking at the width of the property, it was not a huge property to start with. The 3 properties would come to ca £8m total. The basement extension (swimming pool) would cost £1m max, the rest structural work can be done £1m max. The kitchen and interior design would cost about £1-1.5m max using the highest quality materials. It would take 12-18months including planning permission (add 8% financing cost). The total cost would have been ca £12-13m max including a designated project manager. It would definitely take someone a decent amount of time to put the project together but if you are to live in it, you would want to tailor it to your own taste anyways (kitchen, beds, sofas, showers definitely not fit everyone’s taste or needs). It does not even have a lift inside (once again, the width is too narrow and the layout is peculiar to install a lift for 2B-3F property). One peculiar thing is, it has a chef’s kitchen which is norm nowadays but where is the servants’ living quarters? Food lift from the chef’s kitchen into the study/ office is more than peculiar. It does not appear to have any garden area either (communal garden access maybe?). It is norm to have segregated servants’ quarters with separate entrance (or a separate small unit in a corner of the garden). Unusual layout and arrangements throughout. Overly cramped for such narrow property. If I were to scoop out the cost, I would rather take my time and find the right property (wider and semi-detached) and hire the best designer and project management team to do it myself. Such size property without servant quarter and lift is a no go.

I used to live on Lower Belgrave Street over twenty-five years ago. When Belgravia was a nice place to live. When the majority of real owners of the properties actually lived in these properties. Before these houses were starting to become overpriced and bought by these overseas investors that don't actually live in England! This was even before the Google building was built near Victoria Station. I used to live and work in the area and used to cycle around the area. I know this area very well. Belgravia and the surrounding areas have so much history. However, it lost its character and charm over years. I am glad I left. It is now a dead corporate place with no feeling. £23 Million just proves what I mean.

In fairness this property has an unusual layout where some private rooms do precede the reception room. There's no way for an agent to assess how the room order hits you on a gut level.

[@harrysmith7199]

Was great to get a look into a home like this and see what it’s like. Very well spoken and knowledgable guy but even with his charisma and experience, I don’t think he could sell this house for the price. There’s no colour and each room looked the same at least the kids room could have been done with a touch. It just looks like a hotel/spa.

[@davidrahnis7341]

I'd be happy with the servant quarters honestly. Looks cozy.

[@juliestannard5538]

Beautiful home but a bit cramped. It reminded me of a luxury yacht trying to cram every luxury into a small space. I love the styling.

[@CazHbokbok]

Really meh depressing interior. I honestly prefer the modest apartment I lived in, in London. The central waterfall, atrium was a great way to try to bring life into the home. 👌🏻 this was very interesting, thank you.

[@samotanso6422]

I liked indoor garden, best feature in the house,

[@girlandgallery]

love the pool !

[@antonioraffa123]

I'm sorry to say this but in my opinion this home has been completely ruined. The original charming character had been completely obliterated. It has a modern hotel vibe wouldn't you say. Such a pity considering all the money and hard work that's gone into it. Oh well.

[@fredsalfa]

That’s a beautiful home. After seeing so many Californian mansions for the same price it’s nice to see something different for a change expressing class and elegance

[@TobyCorban]

Thanks for watching!

[@georgielancaster1356]

That's Dubai bling. New money bling. Class? Not a raindrop.

[@ludovica8221]

That is a EuroMcMansion. If thats your idea of taste and elegance you are crazy.. but hey whatever. I call it vandalism and horribly vulgar.... At least in California they arent destroying 300 year old historic properties to make their houses look like a shopping mall

[@jongoth]

great video. you're an excellent presenter. Shame about the house though. it looks like a Dubai hotel. pretty devoid of taste

[@mbd6054]

Yes. It's awful.

[@feanorian21maglor38]

Worst I've seen, apparently it's a thing, though. Sad.

[@zulifqarnazeer2849]

Amazing mansion Amazing tour Lethal combination

[@HKNYN1]

Great as always Toby. Pretty sure I was one of the first 10 subs to this channel and the quality has been top since the start. Also dream home I would love a stucco Central london townhouse

[@whatadollslife]

dude ,you are a superstar ,your Instagram is stunning ......I do like the way you showcased this home ...it seems like it would be more of a second home/in town resort , because the footprint is so narrow ,but that garage is epic for a city location ...good place to store the motorcycles.

[@Joelio8701]

This place is so well designed - incredible interiors. I’ll buy… but I’m about £23,000,000 away from meeting the asking price

[@annab6726]

If 23,000,000 of us throw in a pound, we could do it...

[@paigeleigh2554]

😅😅😅😅

[@RoseBornagain]

Is been reduce at 20m , Lol

[@ludovica8221]

😮😵‍💫

[@ludovica8221]

@@RoseBornagain Imagine having 20million and choosing to splurge it on this shitheap? Haha.. think of the amazing chateaux (you could probably buy 15 for that price) you could get in France

[@dead_formats]

Why is the decor so tacky and the rooms so cramped..?

[@susanstreet1]

Love the house though the decor is stuffy . sorry no malice, but if I were looking to buy this style would put me off,perhaps Bloomsbury is more me?

[@teresalast7352]

I always want to see the garden first! Not bothered about house as a new buyer will always change.

[@tiriqmoss434]

I hate to admit it but that is absolutely beautiful 🙏🏽

[@MrsTitina]

It’s so sad to not keeping the original style in the interiors. It makes the house cheap 😢

[@vickilindberg6336]

Magnificent home. Can't begin to figure out how to live in it. Good for adults. Not for elderly ( very hard floors) or very young ( hard floors & lots of places for fingerprints). Strictly status.

[@NicholasIngel]

Fantastic our, thank you.

[@victoriawitthinrich]

Great work here Toby, just toured a stunning 250 sqm Bangkok penthouse that costs 3.8m USD so its very interesting to see how the value of properties vary around the world. Keep up the fantastic contetn!

[@TobyCorban]

Thanks for watching Victoria! :)

[@ZIVAZIVA]

Loving these videos :))

[@TS-hn2us]

Loving what you're doing bro! Keep it up.

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

What a beautiful home. I recognised alot of the bedroom furniture, we made them.

[@wendygillard2133]

I am amazed they didn’t add a lift.

[@krnc1960]

Enjoyed watching the tour. Thank you

[@susannebuttgen455]

Amazing congratiolation to the new owner

[@vivdoolan6846]

Dont like the interior but you are really good, channelling Enes vibes !! Best of luck with your channel new sub here x

[@joanne26]

This price does not shock me. For that area and other parts of London like Hampstead and some parts of Notting Hill (I have a relative who lives in this area) these are the prices. Whoever could afford that is I guess someone who would never think of using the kitchen and cooking for themselves but would book famous restaurants and eat in these every day or every other day with 12 month waiting lists ‘Get in early’ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿♥️♥️😀😀😊😊😊🔑🔑

Fascinating home. But Mr. Toby, are stair cases used to get through 7 floors ? Where's the elevator? Guess I need the Gym ! Thank you.

Dark and cold house now. I am freezing. Cozy not at all.

[@lialbrown1116]

The book matched marble in the bathroom is astonishing

[@jamesbrook16]

I thought it looked disgusting and tasteless - just like the rest of the house.

[@AL-ew8qr]

why do I need a wine cellar if I barely have a closet!?!

[@jackieharper5520]

It's obscene that there are people with this much wealth .....the house is soulless.....

[@Alden4]

Exactly what I said!
