Pretty sure that's roughly where Dunk was buying last year.

 

[WATFORD zero]

From what I've seen, it's quite a nice new build, making the most of the views over the lack of actual plot size and the location is very good for people at a certain stage of life. For those asking, I'm pretty sure the plot for the three houses (+ the block of flats next door - Olympic hts ?) used to be a single detached house with a couple of stone painted jockeys outside the front door when we moved in to the other side of the valley 30+ years ago.

Now being a little more mature, I've been wanting to move from the general area for the last couple of years, mainly because there's very few cafes/pubs/restaurants within walking distance (particularly if you have dodgy knees).

I've been looking at Hurst/Hassocks, but Mrs Wz has recently had a great idea. As she (quite rightly) said, "we both like the seven dials area and it's only a stroll to town" (we actually both had flats there when we met).

So, I'm now looking for something around the dials, smallish 2/3 bedroom with a fairly large secluded garden and off road parking for 3 (ideally 4) cars

I like your next house, but WTF is with the airplane style cinema?

Was that designed by the same people who built the old Churchill Square?

That’s exactly what it reminded me of

 

[Triggaaar]

Minimum £2m build probably £2.5m going by price per sq ft to build.

It cost £2m to build the 3 houses, not each one.

Three Million Pound shipping container on one of Brighton’s busiest rat runs where your Porsche runs the risk of side impact every time you pull out to take the kids to Hurst College every morning, no thanks, that will be for sale at Christmas

Not with Hamptons on the case surely??!!

 

[Triggaaar]

I’d far rather that and that garden.

A smallish plot in Brighton & Hove, a road and neighbours on the doorstep. £3m. Can only be the Brighton factor, plus a load of people these days hate any form of gardening.

Some people (me) prefer to be in town, close to bars/restaurants/the sea etc.

In town with the buzz, or three miles away in suburbia?

 

[Weststander]

Plus the cost of the land, planning and legals.

 

[Chicken Run]

amazed at peoples taste. I could(if I had the money) buy my dream house for approx £1.5m.

Does anyone know?? Was there a house on the site that was knocked down to build these three ??
That is what is happening everywhere.

Further research seems to reveal two smallish detached properties were originally on the Olympic Hts plot and a pair of semis on what looks like a largish plot on where the three shipping containers were built

Blue circle Olympic
Green where the three containers are

Well you've got Brighton (which may have this buzz you refer to) or Hove, which doesn't have Brighton's shopping, but has plenty of bars/cafes/restaurants.

 

[Triggaaar]

Plus the cost of the land, planning and legals.

Of course. Just saying it's not > £2m to build the one for sale.

You may’ve mentioned this already? There’s graphic online where at one stage the entire thing, was proposed as 3 x the Olympic house.

 

[Eric the meek]

The difference in that 8 bed house in Hurst with land, and the Withdean house. For about the same money give or take half a million. An incredible difference.

People complain that prices in Brighton are high, but don't seem to clock that it's because demand exceeds supply and they are part of the problem.
It's a popular place to live, so lots of people want to come here. And we're kind of hemmed in by the sea and the Downs.

 

[Justice]

Of course. Just saying it's not > £2m to build the one for sale.

13,700 sq ft at a conservative £200 per sq feet build cost, you think it would be £1m ? No chance

You think that house is 13,700 sq ft? No chance. That's 3 houses.

Yes you are correct for the three houses. My error I read someone said it was 13700sqft

I like your next house, but WTF is with the airplane style cinema?

No idea and notice the pergola outside is also that of an aircraft shell?

Would be the first thing to get remodelled, it’s a horrible cinema room, imaging that being a primary problem in life!
