So you've got £2.5 million to spend on a house in Lindfield

What do you think?

Bit of a weird thread to start, I grant you, but I'm just a bit confused by the price of this property. Ok, it's right next to the Red Lion, but still.

I'm with you on that one - and who lives there, Hyacinth Bouquet..? Dismal taste.

6 bedrooms large gardens well maintained etc a snip at £2.5m

Wont be buying myself as need a least a double garage for the Ferrari and Range Rover

 

[Greavsey]

6 bedrooms, 4 baths, large garden, on the high street, 3500 sq ft - ripe for a developer to redecorate and sell on. £1.5m would be about right, not £2.5m. I bet the vendors got greedy, any good agent (rare breed but do exist) would have been more realistic with the price IMHO.

Fair play, I'm here to learn.

Agree absolutely mental price

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I presume it's a combination of

(1) Rarity. Lindfield village centre. Very popular village, & houses right in the middle can't come up all that often

(2) Big garden

(3) 6 bedrooms

Other than that, it does seem a little overpriced compared to large country houses you could pick up for that money. Plus you'd have to do something with the interior, as I'd hazard a guess that the existing occupants are of pensionable age, and the decor seems a little twee for my taste.

[Surf's Up]

Mental price for a mentally designed, decorated and furnished house. If thats worth £2.5m then mines definitely nudging £1m and I'll sell tomorrow!!!

Is this the ultimate NSC look at me thread - Triggaars new house?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Same price buys you this in Cuckfield: Grade II listed, five bedroom house with additional two bedroom cottage, beautiful grounds, tennis court and fifteen acres of land.

I think this would be higher up my list than the Lindfield one...

 

[Gwylan]

If Edna's looking at houses in this sort of price range then police salaries must have gone up a fair bit recently

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Or- for a hundred grand less (one has to watch those pennies of course)- this seven bedroom manor house in Lingfield.

Lindfield definitely looks a tad overpriced on the evidence of both the ones I've just found.

Five million is my absolute ceiling, darling!

Well I was thinking about it, but...

duly noted.

It's not by the Pond.................so you would expect it to be a little cheaper

Why in the hell do people need such big houses? Their bathroom is bigger than my flat.

Do you get a text alert when 'Lindfield' is in the title?

Handy for a few nice pubs, but it doesn't mean I'd pay a Craig Mackail-Smith for it.
