It seems like too much of the house is "below stairs." Layout is pretty complicated, there are too many stairs to deal with. It's kind of like a beautiful bunker rather than a house.

You can only wonder what the ground rent and service charges are as I guess it will be leasehold unless you are lucky enough to have a share of the freehold even if you did you would still be responsible for your share of the maintenance for the entire structure of the house including the roof.

The problem of these beautiful houses are mainly several to take into account: (A) Soundproofing. (B) The windows. (C) The clothes dryer. (D) The location of electricity and water meters. (E) The mailbox for mail collection. (F) They lack a garage for the car. (G) Difficulty for older people and babies having to go up and down interior stairs. (H)...

Agree with difficulty that stairs presents for elderly and disabled. The only way to get around that is to install a stair lift (the kind with a seat) but that is expensive. Unfortunately in older cities like London as well as New York and Philadelphia in the US, it is difficult to have accessible housing since many buildings are older.

Yup. That funny shaped bathroom is that shape because it's a converted coal cellar. I grew up in Kensington and trust me, that there is one real cobbled-together kind of a set up. It has got one halfway decent room - and they have had to set it up as a living room cum dining room. And it has a really depressing outlook. Kensington is a lovely part of London, but those red-brick 'late Victorian' style streets are really early Edwardian, and they are pretty grim architecturally. The earlier, white stucco buildings tend to be a lot nicer - much, much larger rooms and no hideous angle-bay window to the front.

I love walking through a London neighborhood at night because a lot of people have their curtains open and it's fun to catch a glimps, like I saw a lady doing her dishes, and another room in another unit had wonderful artwork on the walls. LOL I'm not a voyeur because they knew people could see in. In a lot of homes there is a floor below street level. I'd love to have a flat in London. Don't need a house this big. So much character.

Beautiful home, tastefully decorated. Having traveled to London,Edinburgh, Paris, Madrid, at first all the levels and stairs were so strange to me. Now I understand, everything is so old. Here in CA, we have nothing to compare, except our Spanish missions. Love the big windows and high ceilings. Kitchen would be a challenge, here we have huge kitchens with double ovens and min 4 burner stovetops! Where was the refrigerator , washer and dryer?

Back in the mid 40s I was brought up in West Kensington in a 3 storey slum. There was my mum and dad and brother in 2 rooms and a kitchen on the top floor. No bathroom, toilet out the back shared with everyone else. Bloke in the middle floor always drunk and not particular about his toilet habits and a couple of old tramps in the basement who used a bucket. My mum was offered to buy the house for £900 at one stage but that was a fortune to us. We all moved on but those houses nowadays have been bought up, gutted and now go for around the million mark.

I work in this area. Although the houses are beautiful to look at you couldn't pay me enough to live in them. Most of them have been butchered beyond recognition and just don't work for modern day living. The only original feature is the outside brickwork. Too small, not enough light unless you live on the upper floors of an apartment. Boxed in with people above and below if you live in an apartment and you're lucky if you get to have a window box to grow anything. This house has far too many stairs going to random rooms

Similar types of homes (not the price) in the USA would be called 'row houses'. Depending on ones location of such home one could experience an increase in hot air or cold air because circulation would be an issue. Too many stairs and levels. Bedrooms are too small. Price not bad for the area.
