Sometimes we look at houses that we can imagine actually buying – at least with a bit of lottery money or the selling of a single kidney. And sometimes we look at houses that we know we won’t buy but which are important in the architectural story of the country. Today is one such house.…
Another week has flown by and it’s time to go and poke around some other people’s houses again. Let’s start with this raised ground floor flat in West London which is on with Savills for £900,000 and has two bedrooms, both of which are decent sizes which is unusual as you often find one large…
Welcome back to the Househunter. The housebuying season is officially open – not that it ever goes away but this time of year tends to be the start of the busy period. Last year television presenter Amanda Lamb kindly guest-blogged a post on how to sell your house – sound advice which is always relevant,…
Good morning everyone. Full of the joys of Friday? Ready to hit the streets and find a property to splash that fantasy cash on? Walk this way to a warehouse conversion overlooking the river – that’s me sold already. It has one/two bedrooms and is on the market with The Modern House for £825,000. It’s…
Earlier this week I went to a dinner at Habitat hosted by the television presenter and interior stylist Sophie Robinson, who was there to talk about about colour psychology and how most of us fall into four distinct seasonal personalities.

I love this house. It’s too expensive and it’s too small and I would buy it tomorrow. It’s in Hackney, east London, with two bedrooms and is arranged over three floors so you’d be forever schlepping up and down stairs and I still want it. It’s on with The Modern House for £1,295,000 and it…

Well I can’t say; hasn’t the weather has been lovely so let’s head out of town, but let’s go anyway. To Chichester, in West Sussex, to see this extraordinary house which was built in 1980 and is one of very few 20th century properties to be given a Grade II* listing by Historic England. This…
It’s been a busy week so I thought we’d start off here with this lovely London house that has been painted in a palette of soft muted colours. Fancy coming round? It’s in east London and it’s on the market with The Modern House for £1,350,000. There are three bedrooms and it’s part of a…
Off to west London first this week to this pretty Edwardian house which has three bedrooms and two bathrooms although that doesn’t really give a sense of the space downstairs. It’s on the market with Philip Wooller for £1,450,00 and belongs to an interior designer, which is why it’s lovely. That grey floor might look a…
