Househunter

This is a bit of a find. It's a two bedroom flat in a converted school house in south west London - SW11 to be precise, which used to be one of those golden postcodes, which goes some way towards explaining price. Are you sitting down? Well then, I'll say it very fast because it's

Last one of the August updates on the Househunter and I love this house so much so we're going to have another look, but with a few more rooms thrown in for good measure. So, something new for those of you who remember it from before but just want to re-feast your eyes, and something

We're going to the country this week because, well because look at that view. I'm not terribly good at the country myself; after years of living in London and 24 hour access to shops I am now literally incapable of going to a shop and buying bread and milk at the same time. My short

This is another great house that was marketed earlier this year. Come in and remind yourself of its fabulous kitchen. What about this then. Now I'm pretty sure you will like this and it's £695,000 via The Modern House. Exactly - quite the bargain, comparatively speaking at least. It's a five bedroom house, near Stroud,

yona friedman serpentine galleries summer house This week, for something a little different before the August break, I'm going to show you four summer houses. All very different, all very fabulous, all can be yours for £95,000. Which might seem a tad pricey for a posh shed at the bottom of the garden, but, as

This week we're starting off with a house that is all about the outside. Gorgeous gardens and an amazing extension. Sometimes it's very hard to find houses with the sorts of interiors we like here in The Mad House and, given that we've been looking at things for inside all week, I wanted to show

We've come over all architectural this week. Usually I concentrate more on the interiors as that is tends to be what sells a house (well that and location obvs) but this week I wanted to show you this house in Surrey which, I'm pretty certain none of you are going to be buying. Although if

Well, well, well, I don't know about you but I seem to have snapped right out of the five stages of grief (somewhere around no 4) in favour of slightly maniacal laughter. If ever the feeling that we just have to carry on (not buying the calm bit, sorry) then the last few days have

I am writing this the day before the morning after and I have literally no idea what the morning after is going to bring. It is a strange feeling and one I can't remember having had before. Perhaps it was like the day before the A Level results were due. When you were pretty sure

Gooooooood Moooooorning Househuuuuunnters! What do you fancy today? Let's start with something huge, screamingly modern and, ahem, definitely in the lottery-winning category. This modern house, clad in stainless steel, might feature the best bedroom ever. But the rest of it's pretty nice too as you will see if you come in with me. It's on

A treat for you today: a tour round a proper Bond villain house that is on the market for $8m but that's probably small change to yer average villain these days. Some of you will recognise it as the house of Willard Whyte in the 1971 movie Diamonds are Forever. And no I know you

Friday again so wrap up warm (it is June after all) and let's start our tour of the pick of this week's property market. I do love these tall London houses, there's something so pleasing about the proportions although most of them are quite a lot thinner than this one which is on the market

Well this is a trip down memory lane. This is a two bedroom flat in the building where I trained to be a journalist (many, many, and then some, moons ago). It's in St Leonard's on Sea, which is right next door to Hastings for those who don't know their geography round there, and it's

It's a tale of two halves this week. Firstly the very modern conversion with lots of black accents and internal crittal windows versus the stucco-fronted family home that is mainly white and also has a rather gorgeous internal glass wall. The first is a collection of eight apartments in Battersea's Bakery Place which is on

A study in black, white, marble and wood, this is a great house that just needs a few personal touches from the eventual buyer. You know the sort of thing - a few rugs, photos and pictures on the wall. The vendors have clearly taken the estate agent's advice to depersonalise VERY seriously. It's the

Well this is pretty isn't it? It's a three bedroom mews house in Camden, which has been refurbished by the designer and fashion stylist Kate Halfpenny, and for those of you who aren't clear exactly who she is, she is a wedding dress designer who is mates with Kate Moss, which puts this into context

Friday househunting and this week we're going monochrome in both London and New York with the former home of Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols and the US home (or should we say one of the US homes) of Rupert Murdoch. Have a wander round these and see what you think. It pains me to

We're mixing it up this week by starting out with a modern house in a rural location. Let's see what you think of that. This was built last year to the vendor's bespoke design (and yes you do wonder why it's being sold don't you) and is in West Wittering, West Sussex. It's on the

Starting off this week's viewings with a look at this converted Art Deco warehouse in Hackney, east London. This is on the market for £645,000 via The Modern House and consists of  two bedrooms in a split level apartment. Formerly a clothing factory, it has been divided into 89 units and this one has been completely refurbished
