I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
According to Google Maps I'm 267m as the crow flies.
Luckily, it's not really all that urgent.

I think it's amazing. I'd buy it if I had the money and if they left all the furniture and decor.

oh I had some good nights there... shame it's not a pub anymore..
Looks great, a bit too much going on in the décor for my taste. Not in my price bracket, but 800k does not sound that excessive compared to some prices out there now.

That place is just bizarre - open plan bedrooms? And I can't get a feel for how big the 'rooms' are suppose to be because there's so much clutter in each photograph. I would say quite overpriced at £800k too.
Yeah it's kind of too weird. I do like what they have done to it decor wise, it's kind of bonkers...but the layout with the open plan bedrooms is just not right...they will have major problems shifting it IMHO.

I think it's the ideal place for a cult. A cult.
Ideal for a first time buyer before they move on to bigger things

A voyeuristic cult where nothing can be done out of sight of any other member.
(yes it's just envious sneering, I'd live there like a shot if I had 800k to mess about with .... but still, I HATE mezzanine bedrooms. what is the point? if you're not going for walls, you might as well all just sleep on the one bearskin rug by the fireplace imho.)

just worked out taglines
I'd love that house, but would only be comfortable living there with my husband, you couldn't have flatmates/guests and still have any privacy

In the late eighties that space was brielfy a gay club called "The Dome". I was about 23 and all I remember is a boy I liked having a sailor hat with "Captain Spunky" written on it. We were all very spunky in those days. The ceiling was painted black I think. Then it was the Mambo Inn, famous for extremely randy straight blokes shoving their erections up aganist girls while "teaching them Salsa". Seems a pity that such a communal, happy space is now just a flat.

If a domed ceiling is too much for you then this one is a little more restrained.

Crime, mostly. There are a lot of competing gangs (and opposing sides in various civil wars) dumped there with limited support. Some of the stock is in pretty bad condition, I was involved in trying to clean up a couple of flats that had vulnerable families with young children put in them and they really were foul- damp, noisy, that clammy cold that suggests long term problems. Quite threatening at night too. I'd cut through the Tulse Hill estate at 2 am, I wouldn't cut through High Trees. TBF some work has happened to try and make it a bit better, but there are still far too many dark corners with lurkers, and if you ask the police they have some hair raising stories.
e2a I am biased as the only two times I have been attacked in many years of living in Brixton and wandering round at all times of day and night, both have been in HIgh Trees!
eA2a just went to look for the crime map and it seems to have been split across three sub wards, so impossible to get a picture

I have a friend on the next road (Arodene) who didn't report bring mugged for his watch because it would have hit his house price!

If he bought his house recently he would have been robbed on that too.
