This is just down the road from me, it was up for £13,000,000  a while ago, now it's been repossed and is for sale at £3,750,000. Owner was a lunatic who was always in court for something.

Looking through the photos is a laugh a minute

It even has its own sandpit room.

The owner was a guy called (at the time) Myck Djurberg.

He's worth a google if only for a laugh, he wasn't the nicest neighbour though.

Hideous and they've obviously spent a bloody fortune making it look that bad

He, not they, I don't suppose he could find anyone with the same "taste"

Apparently he bought it years ago and then had it raised on stilts to protect it from floods (it's a listed building so how that works I've no idea)

He then suposedly spent £4,000,000 on making it what it is now, a glorified children's play house.

Here's another "eccentric house in Hampton Court, they have some strange folks in these parts.

You have to go outside across the roof terrace to get to the second bedroom

Oh and nowhere to park (the front wood glass bit was a garage type entrance before)

Ideal as a holiday let. 

Lets say 10% yield, so £72k per week. How many does it sleep?

There’s 4 bedrooms and what looks like a sex dungeon with sand on the floor

• Spatial architect Mr Djurberg cleared last month of groping young apprentices working at boatyard

 

I mean WTF is a “Spatial Architect” and he’s clearly a weapon

[Castlevania]

I’d still love to live in that house. Just with him nowhere near. Preferably dead.

[Castlevania]

By the way it sounds like when he was trying to sell it for a ridiculous price he was including land and what have you that he didn’t own. The Savills listing highlights a lot of run ins he had with the local council.

He was a bit of a character to say the least.....

He's gone, it was repossessed.

Yeah. Someone like that could well stalk you for the rest of your life. Plus I’m probably young enough for him to want to bum me. Nah. I’m out.

The house exterior is interesting but looks like the thing has been jacked up, inside it is completely tasteless.

£9000 for a copper bathtub, my lads mate Shabooboo could get them handmade in India for 1/8 of the price.
