That two flats within such close proximity, separated only by a department store frequented by Arabs mostly now, can be so different in price per square foot is perplexing. The difference between the Basil Street one (£1,765) and the Beaufort Gardens one (£3,061) is £1,296. Makes no sense.
The second one is really stylish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first one needs the wrecking ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bulldoze that horrible red brick monstrosity building!!!!!!!! Build a new One Hyde Park there instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The second one is just a one bed without a door. They should call it that as it would describe it better.
The wallpaper looks like something from an Indian takeaway. It also makes the place look smaller. Why would anyone choose such a colour?
God,
Looks more like a brothel, not that I would know what one would look like, but I can imagine.
Let’s defer to your imagination then, Dodge.
I too of course have no idea what a brothel looks like, but I do rather see why you wrote the comment.
