[Closed] What house can you get for a million in your area?

A pretty ugly 3-bed: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-42533581.html?premiumA=true

That was my other choice Hot_fiat. Harefield is a pretty impressive house.

A 1213sqft 2 bed flat in the East Stand of Higbury Stadium.

Have to go 5 miles from my postcode to get a £1M+ house. it's a bit meh though the 3 car garage would be awesome.

[i]wwasawas: did you see the other thread on what we can buy up here for 100K? [/i]

*puts fingers in ears and goes Nah! Nah! Nah!*

The Strutt Parker site often has some absolute gems on. Did you see the other hall that was on there last summer, not far from the Chillingham Estate?? Think it was about £15M.

I think this thread has finally brought home to me the reality of the North-South divide.

12 bed
13 acres
...and a 3 bed cottage for the servants.

That would probably be Duncan Davisdson's place; LilBurn Estate's; he's some relation to the Queen and started selling off land and houses including the main hall.

Ah this one.

Bob,that's more than a bit Meh 😯 🙂

none in that price range in my area so i had to go further afield (5miles)...

not a big fan of these stately mansion type ones...a bit too pompous and ostentatious for my liking...also not a big fan of dated floral carpets and sofas.

for just under 1m this is nice
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-36038131.html
for 1.25m this isnt bad
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-27959256.html?premiumA=true
this one is ok as well
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-13748343.html

this is under budget leaving enough to be able to get at least 2 range rovers...but i like it for the exposed brickwork inside...no need for wallpapering or painting!!

Didn't know he'd sold up. isn't he Camilla's BiL? I know Prince Charles was up there quite a bit.

You can get this in Whitley bay,

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-26143695.html

150k to do it up

Not a lot, everything over £1m

I'm sure the tower was for sale too but I may be wrong. He did sell of a lot or property though.

Can't remember what the link is to the Royal, I thought it was distant cousin but may be wrong. But yes friendly with Charles one of his daughters was the Bridesmaid for his wedding to Dianna.

Nothing on at a million in my village (Farnbough Village) most are either comfortably under, or £2m+ (Farnborough Park)

I'd probably just buy this one for 700k and spend the rest on bikes, coke and hookers.

Did I mention that there are great mountain bike trails from the door? Only two acres, double stables block and a garage though.

Near my office (Farringdon area in London), 1 million pounds buys a 2 bedroom flat.

Northwood again:

Conincidentally, the Good Life post above immediately follows a Northwood house - and Northwood is where the Good Life was actually filmed (not Surbiton)!

7 beds with a 3 bed barn and a pool.

All we need to match it is another 7 beds... Bazinga.

I have to move out 3 miles from our house to find anything between £600k and a million.

i'm not sure what that says about where we live.

The [url= http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-34936747.html ]most expensive house for sale in Darlington is £800k[/url].

If you head a bit further afield, [url= http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-42347348.html ]£1.25 million will get you this[/url], though technically it's three houses.

Following on from the Cambridge thread, I am actually pleasantly surprised; you can get a 3-bed detached property near the centre for £850k. Although a few miles out you can get a nice 6 bed with triple garage and swimming pool, or an equestrian centre!

If you count yourself amongst not only the haves but the have-yachts, I guess you could find enough change down the back of the couch to buy this crummily-decorated beach shack and spend a few bob doing it up.

It's odd looking at North/South (forgeting London for a moement, that's different) houses arround £100k and £1million.

I reckon comparable houses in Reading and Middlesbrough are about 3-4x difference in price. But once you get over £300k the difference shrinks raplidly. £1million in the Chilterns is proabbly only 25% cheaper on the Yorkshire Moors.

Seems like wherever you are there's a consistent ammount of consistently rich people. It's the average to poor demographic that fluctuates.

Notaspoon... Good point ... maybe we should be compairing 3 bed semi ?

brueep.... does that still need rendering? 😀

Granite blocks, I'd rather have that than some render.

Loving that, bit different for Aberdeen, while keeping the granite thing.

9 bedrooms in total with 2 self contained flats for any overnighters, has views of the castle!

Stirling - but only £800K so kashima, coke and hookers all the way

While I'm North East born and bread, half the family is from Ireland & we keep looking at property there. Franklins is the equivalent of Strutt & Parker in Donegal. 6 years ago you'd struggle to find anything for less than €300k, today it's rather different:

A bit in-between here. Access to Manchester + airport and close to footballer territory keeps it from being properly sensible, but 1m still buys you these 2:

better than expected

Be lucky to get 2 beds and 1000sqft in NW london

People aren't aware of numbers that high in Newport, let alone spend that much on a house.

4 bed house in a gated community!

[url= http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-37283446.html?premiumA=true ]Gated community house[/url]

This is rural Cheshire. Why the hell do you need a gated community?

Probably more at risk from the badgers in the woodlands and TB

Cheltenham

@ mcobie (8th post) I actually installed some sockets at that house some 10-12 years ago!

It's not where we live at the moment but we are looking around that area..... But our budget isn't a million quid.

Slightly over the budget but this is Roger Moore's (James Bond) old house about 1.5 miles from me.
