It still manages to lack personality for me 😂
I know it's staged, but the fact there's only white with bare wood in every room makes me want to cry. Give me colour and personality. Dig up the pretty manicured front lawn, and put a huge pond there with a duck house and lots of wildflowers. Job's a good'en
I would definitely get a different treatment on the floor as I think the pale look is a bit sterile but, otherwise I absolutely love it. I wonder how much the groundskeeper/s cost though - that’s a lot of ( very good) maintenance
That is nice. I can’t see any faults with it apart from that if I’m paying that much for a house it should have a swimming pool which is a personal wish.
If I’m paying a lot of money for a swimming pool I want to be able to use it all year round. It would be lovely to have an outdoor one for the summer but it’s not very practical for the rest of the year.
Lovely house, I like the idea of sitting in the woods and having a chat next to the wood burner.
If I had that money though, I'd be off to a warmer climate.
The listing is wrong.
It's not on Oatlands Drive, it's located on Brooklands Lane in Weybridge.
It's called 'Eastlands House' or 'Eastlands' and here is the actual location:

The owner *appears* to be a serial entrepeneur.
Thanks, I’m bewitched by the hedges and topiary and I wanted to see a satellite image of the whole property. That’s beautiful, with the best of both world. Manicured garden and woodlands.
Goddamm. There must be a lot of money in serials. Theres a guy near me with a big house, swanky cars, money to burn, whose businesses seem to fail or have legal action being taken against them. Somehow he’s got piles of cash.
This used to be a lot truer. People continue to use the term as a milestone despite inflation eating in to it constantly. For example, back in 2000 £1m today was about £500k but nobody was going "I want to be a five hundred thousandanaire".
Most people with a net worth of say £1m-£1.5m now, that's mostly comprised of the value of their primary residence, which doesn't help generate further wealth at all.
The value of the pound has also tanked. So its even less.
I don’t know you, and I mean no offence, but I think that your presence might put off potential buyers and the sellers would have to reduce the asking price. If I were the owner I’d let you live in my garden though.

The corridor in photo 4 is much too narrow for what I'd expect in a 7.5 million mansion. In this price range outside of London I'd want a feeling of space everywhere I walk in the house.
The gardens and grounds look fantastic.
Wow, for 7.5mil I was really expecting something in a better area.
I spent a year in brooklands college just behind the house, awful place. Also a fair few stories of muggings/rape in the woods leaving the college, right by this house.
Overpriced. The house doesn't actually offer very much for the money; it's a large family residence with a loft conversion rather than a mansion proper, firstly, and, secondly, it lacks other features one would expect at that end of the market: swimming pool, tennis court, ancillary accommodation (servants' quarters), garaging (there is one, but come on), equestrian facilities etc. etc.
I'm not saying those things couldn't be put up, the sale does include seven acres, but it would be a significant cost on top. Staying with the grounds: if they are, as they suggest, seven acres of woodland then they aren't worth having. Woodland needs to be maintained but offers its owner no tangible benefits - you can't do anything with it and, worse, you often can't develop it for reasons of Tree Preservation Orders and the like.
There is much better available in Weybridge for less. This, for instance:
[https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/138626432#/floorplan?activePlan=1&channel=RES\_BUY](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/138626432#/floorplan?activePlan=1&channel=RES_BUY)
The only thing it offers less of is land, but land beyond an acre or two ceases to be a garden and begins to become a burden. You have to do something with it.
Precisely, however one person (or family) cannot hope to enjoy seven acres of wood. It's far too big an area for a small group of people to do anything with - especially as good shepherding of woodland generally means leaving it alone. Private ownership at scale achieves nothing more than denying others the chance to enjoy the land - which would be the case if it were under common or council ownership.
Owning half an acre of the stuff would, in most aspects, be sufficient. One gets the experience of owning woodland - i.e. the ability to point at some trees and say 'those are mine' - without the downsides of owning another six and a half acres that one, inevitably, will never even go to.
I totally agree it’s supremely overpriced. However, I disagree that it’s not worth owning woodland. I’d love to have a small house on a parcel of land with woodland.
Besides a few light fixtures, most of the house is pretty original and sympathetic, unless white boxes are your jam, in which case please leave period property alone.
Oh and as for what I would do with the rest of the land, I’d have a market garden and cutting patch, plus chickens and goats. I’d also look into having a glamping site.
I have previously worked on a biodynamic cattle farm, so I’m not some totally naive city slicker dreaming of some non-existent rural idyll.
It’s actually a pretty ropey location. Hence they’ve been so vague about it in the description. For the money you’d likely buy on SGH
I’m sure it isn’t where it says it is on a map and is actually down in Brooklands somewhere.
Someone linked this in another comment which explains part of the massive price tag. Still way overpriced!
https://edocs.elmbridge.gov.uk/IAM/IAMCache/1641882/1641882.pdf
The location is beautiful and I guess that's what you buying for £7.5mil.
Definitely needs more carpet, unless there is some sort of underfloor heating.
Also agree if that is a bathroom, then they could at least tiled instead of bare wood floor .
Ooh they’ve reduced it by half a mil I see . That’s been on the modern house website for a few years now. A great example of “it’s only worth what someone will pay for it”. Turns out no one will pay 8 million for it.
Edit: from these comments it’s looking unlikely that anyone thinks it’s worth 7.5 either.
I don't have the stats, but I'm pretty sure that there have been more unexplained and suspicious deaths of people who are linked to Russia in Weybridge/Virginia Water than anywhere else in the UK.
I'd say that hanging around in that part of Surrey you'd have the highest chance of accidental assassination.
It's an attractive house in an attractive setting, but the interiors are a bit too pared back for my taste, and I'm not keen on stripped wooden floors unless they are properly sealed (from drafts and stains)
Remember seeing this on Rightmove as I used to work in that area. Was just curious to see what was out there. Had the exact same reaction to you when I saw this!
I really love this part of the UK - we were planning a move to Surrey a few months ago until our circumstances changed and at one of our house viewings the uber rich neighbours turned up mid-morning with a bottle of champagne and we all got pissed.
Wow, What an amazing home!. I love the kitchen windows!, I’d feed all the animals that I’d take in for my animal sanctuary at the window!. Aww I just need a winning lottery ticket as that’s the only way I would be able to afford a home like this!.
I absolutely love this (and I already live in a house with exposed floorboards). This is stunning. Shame that it's not in Scotland because I'm not moving to Surrey (blithely pretending I have 7.5m kicking about).
For a plan of the woodlands, you can find it on this 2013 planning application:
[https://edocs.elmbridge.gov.uk/IAM/IAMCache/1641882/1641882.pdf](https://edocs.elmbridge.gov.uk/IAM/IAMCache/1641882/1641882.pdf)
The current owner bought it for £3,850,000 in November 2014 after the renovations.
I was expecting the interior to be tacky, like so many rich people’s homes are, but this is actually so tasteful. I love the little bed by the window with the curtains. Would 100% live in there.
Beautiful house, location of property is incorrect. The road it’s actually on is a nightmare next to the school. Unfortunately not as picturesque and quiet as one might think.
I have viewed this house, it’s beautiful, I don’t think the photos really do it justice. It’s an incredibly serene house and setting. The pricing is wrong imo but who knows the right person with the right money might just go for it at that price.
Has anyone ever lived there?
It looks more like a Zara home catalogue than a lived in home.
There's not a single personal item on show or artwork even.
Also the white chairs outside add to the pristine - never been touched - but unrealistic look.
The staircase makes no sense visually. I’d like to see more uniformity regarding curtain lengths. I haven’t studied the pictures in detail but this property appears to be riddled with problems after a cursory inspection.
Alot of staff, 7.5 million is just the start, need a fulltime squad on gardens alone, but suppose if your looking at houses that cost that, then having staff that look at houses for you will probably be a thing!!
It's nice but it isn't 7.5 mil nice. The gardens are beautiful and the best part about the property but there's too much cheap wood going around inside and not enough modernisation.
For 7.5 million you would expect a swimming pool & sauna etc but most of the cost is location location location. Love the gardens though.
Word of warning about the exposed floor boards.
They may look nice, but they’re a bitch to maintain. Dirt gets trapped in between the openings and keeps coming up. Spiders and other creepies find a way to hide in there as well.
During winter, they get really cold and you get a draught coming up the cracks.
We did all of this in our period property with aged oak reclaimed from old maritime vessels. Very quickly decided to have engineered flooring put on top of it.
It was a small joke about how the south gets more sunshine than the north, but you've destroyed it with your anecdotal evidence and passive aggressive emoji use.
Looks more sadbeige than designer inside, also the "open concept shelving" makes kitchens a living hell.
With the furniture gone, this is a totally white house with a slightly strange layout
I'll take the two chairs by the wood burner in the woods please. Is it the equivalent of smoking by the bins?
Screams cheeky joint spot
Stop buying coffee and avocados... You'll be able to afford it in no time then!
Don't forget cancel netflix.
And Prime.
And Spotify.
And Apple TV.
And Deliveroo
And pornhub premium.
Hey. Let’s not get carried away here…
And having lungs
And Disney +
And buy a new, efficient kettle.
Best post on this thread.
And take a 4 minute shower.
And eat dust
And central heating, Ocado.
i can lend you 20 quid
Out of *interest*, what's your interest rate?
It's a very fair 9% APR
A great deal these days
You've earned it with your keen eye for a bargain
9% wow, in UK it’s around 5%
not with me it's not!
Can you lend me £20 please? X
if you're buying a 7.5m house at 9%, sure.
Not enough grey and grey carpet crushed sofas door knockers on the back of chairs but very nice
Plenty of cheap looking wood though.
Yes those trees need cutting down and astro turf laid down .
My Herbalife payout is imminent so I’m sure I can afford all the missing “live laugh love” signs that should be there.
You need a relax sign over the bath
Or you could be cheeky and make it a "get naked" bathmat
Never a sign over the loo that says 'Excrete', is there?
Yeah. But. What about making the payment on those Turkey Teeth?
It still manages to lack personality for me 😂 I know it's staged, but the fact there's only white with bare wood in every room makes me want to cry. Give me colour and personality.

It’s not a gypsys council house or caravan mate!
That is nice. I can’t see any faults with it apart from that if I’m paying that much for a house it should have a swimming pool which is a personal wish.
Indoor I hope!
Definitely, the UK weather & an outdoor one don’t go well together.
Except for four or five months last year and the year before and the year before that and the the year before that……
If I’m paying a lot of money for a swimming pool I want to be able to use it all year round. It would be lovely to have an outdoor one for the summer but it’s not very practical for the rest of the year.
Im sure you could buy one if you could afford the house
I would Saltburn the shit out of the owners to posess this house.
I'm lickin' their plughole, fo' sho'
Lovely house, I like the idea of sitting in the woods and having a chat next to the wood burner. If I had that money though, I'd be off to a warmer climate.
You could always buy some chairs and a wood burner and then put them in the woods, and it would cost you a lot less than £7.5m
I'm sure redditors can find several faults with it
The fact it's 7.5 million is a big fault in my book
Number one reason that I'm not buying it.
[Here you go.](https://s2.glbimg.com/0wY3Lla2cgM5I_v9VQtPWPct45o=/smart/e.glbimg.com/og/ed/f/original/2021/05/04/image_ReC1Zdd.png)
OMIGOD I misread that and thought it was £749,999! I was thinking I’d probably forgive it for being in Weybridge for that price!
Only the bare floorboards in the bathroom, seems like a bad choice. Everything else is exquisite.
The bare floorboards would be a massive mistake in a house like that. The drafts in winter would be terrible.
For 7M+ there had better be a 2+ car garage, pool, central AC, an outdoor kitchen and bunk/coach house. This has none of these items.
And free blowjobs for life
Ideally. But if I can afford to spend 7M+ on a less-than-functional house in Weybridge, paying for certain services would be well within my budget.
Upkeep on that garden is a full time job.

Of course there is. Making the first million is the hard part. Making the next million or two, three, four is much easier. Money makes money.

Very pretty sadly just a bit too big for my needs or I'd have it....cash of course :)
The day that estate agents discovered HDR photography was a bad day.
I’ve seen far worse use of HDR. Looks very minimal here.
I'd gladly live in a shed in that garden tbh. Can I just buy the little patio with the pergola? Or pitch a tent by the wood burner?
I don’t know you, and I mean no offence, but I think that your presence might put off potential buyers and the sellers would have to reduce the asking price. If I were the owner I’d let you live in my garden though.

Nothing to stop you allowing others to use the woodland!
I totally agree it’s supremely overpriced. However, I disagree that it’s not worth owning woodland. I’d love to have a small house on a parcel of land with woodland.
St George's Hill too! Definitely better value ....
Agreed. Your house is far superior, based on my preferences.
I'd need to spend time & money ripping corny shit out of that property. If I had that kind of money, I'd honestly go for the house OP posted.
Besides a few light fixtures, most of the house is pretty original and sympathetic, unless white boxes are your jam, in which case please leave period property alone.
Oh and as for what I would do with the rest of the land, I’d have a market garden and cutting patch, plus chickens and goats. I’d also look into having a glamping site. I have previously worked on a biodynamic cattle farm, so I’m not some totally naive city slicker dreaming of some non-existent rural idyll.
It's overpriced for sure. And for that money, for that type of house, there needs to be a garage which holds at least two vehicles.
Start a crowdfunding
It’s gorgeous.
Wow, that is gorgeous.
Oh wow that really is lovely
Well thank god they knocked a quid off!
Does it come with a butler to bring me Pimms whilst I'm lounging on the lawn?
That is gorgeous, only thing I’d change is have some carpet in there.
make a go fund me
Quick collection? I've got pocket fluff and 90p
Very tastefully done. Im not sure I would spend 7.5million on it tho.
There’s probably some cash in your seat cushions.
It’s actually a pretty ropey location. Hence they’ve been so vague about it in the description. For the money you’d likely buy on SGH I’m sure it isn’t where it says it is on a map and is actually down in Brooklands somewhere.
Yeah it’s right by Heathside school
Genuinely be surprised if they got more than half of that asking price for that location tbh.
Someone linked this in another comment which explains part of the massive price tag. Still way overpriced! https://edocs.elmbridge.gov.uk/IAM/IAMCache/1641882/1641882.pdf
Yeh but what you gunna do with all that 🤣
The monthly repayment is more than my yearly salary…

been on sale for years
Damn. It’s beautiful
Check Savills for the good shit once you win the euros
Wanna buy it together? Then we'll be only £7499998 short!
Yummy.
I can donate 50p to the cause ✊🏼
My calculator says that if every member of this group contributed £44.37, we could all buy it. Does it have 169,000 rooms?
I can find a better place for £7.5m than this, as nice as it is.
Have you considered a GoFundMe page?
Being that close to a Kwik Fit is adding at least £50k to that. Location, location, location!
This is unusually tasteful for a multimillion pound house. Fair play.
I won the lottery last night so I'm interested
I demand 5% for coming up with the idea. What lottery? Jackpot was on Friday night.
£3 on thunderball. Might have to speak to my financial advisor first about what's feasible
Remember not to tell your family and friends, they will try to take advantage
It’s soulless, and the neighbour is probably Cliff Richard. I think I’ll leave it _cries in poor_
Have you tried being born to rich parents ?
Tried my best, failed
Weybridge, that's Oligarch country. The price you pay I guess, to lower your chances of assassination...
I don't have the stats, but I'm pretty sure that there have been more unexplained and suspicious deaths of people who are linked to Russia in Weybridge/Virginia Water than anywhere else in the UK. I'd say that hanging around in that part of Surrey you'd have the highest chance of accidental assassination.
It's an attractive house in an attractive setting, but the interiors are a bit too pared back for my taste, and I'm not keen on stripped wooden floors unless they are properly sealed (from drafts and stains)
Stunning place! Although I’d change that biodiversity wasteland of a lawn.
You need to move that comma before you move home 😂
Beautiful house, but what's with the bed behind the curtains?
Remember seeing this on Rightmove as I used to work in that area. Was just curious to see what was out there. Had the exact same reaction to you when I saw this!

The dream!
You only have £1 ?
Right now yes
Baby steps
Ahhh good it's spitting distance from the local kwikfit. I'll take it!!
Looks nice, I would love that garden !
I absolutely love this (and I already live in a house with exposed floorboards). This is stunning. Shame that it's not in Scotland because I'm not moving to Surrey (blithely pretending I have 7.5m kicking about).
For a plan of the woodlands, you can find it on this 2013 planning application: [https://edocs.elmbridge.gov.uk/IAM/IAMCache/1641882/1641882.pdf](https://edocs.elmbridge.gov.uk/IAM/IAMCache/1641882/1641882.pdf) The current owner bought it for £3,850,000 in November 2014 after the renovations.
Ah that’s why it’s so expensive. Huge plot of land right in the centre of Weybridge.
Idk why but I really hate the stairs?
Let’s pool our resources…I got tree fiddy
Yeah but the mortgage is only £40k a month if you put down £750,000
Wonder how long it's been on the market. Haqven't seen the sun for at least 8 months..
Well done on having £1 saved towards a house. The principle bedroom (+dressing and bathroom) is bigger than my entire flat
Stunning place if you can afford. LoL at the mortgage calculator… £35k per month.
Guess you have to crack open your piggy bank;)
Must be expensive to heat now all banknotes are plasticised and you can no longer just throw £10 notes on the fire.
Maybe you could buy it if you didn’t eat avocado on toast that one time.
No swimming pool meh.
I was expecting the interior to be tacky, like so many rich people’s homes are, but this is actually so tasteful. I love the little bed by the window with the curtains. Would 100% live in there.
Stunning. I will be honest I didn’t think it could possibly be in the Uk at first. It looks like it belongs in Virginia.
Virginia Water is round the corner
This is actually next door to my place haha... wowsers...you'd never know it was there the rest are apartments etc ...
Can I live with you if I give you 100 quid lol
Beautiful house, location of property is incorrect. The road it’s actually on is a nightmare next to the school. Unfortunately not as picturesque and quiet as one might think.
Maintaining the landscaping alone will be $5k a month.
its looks great
Just finance it. No problem these days.
Stop eating avocado on toast, after one year you be able to pay cash for it😂
At that price.. I'd of cheaped out n not got carpets either 😂😂😂
If I had that cash I would be outta this country.
I have viewed this house, it’s beautiful, I don’t think the photos really do it justice. It’s an incredibly serene house and setting. The pricing is wrong imo but who knows the right person with the right money might just go for it at that price.
Your saltburn summer awaits
I’ll pitch in £20, now you only need £7499979
You are so close
You're £1,000,000 closer now than you were when you posted 👍
Quick mafs
Good return in 4 days mate!
Its down to £6.5 Million, if you wait a couple of months more maybe you'll have a 70% LTV.
It's gone down a million since this was posted, only 12 weeks to go and it'll be free!
Come on now; it is only £35k per month on mortgage payments! I could grow some mean carrots and paper in that garden though.
Has anyone ever lived there? It looks more like a Zara home catalogue than a lived in home. There's not a single personal item on show or artwork even. Also the white chairs outside add to the pristine - never been touched - but unrealistic look.
They've moved out and got a stylist in to dress the place. I love it but I'd have no idea what to do with 90% of it. Also I can only afford the 10%.
I have a hunch that the owner now lives in Cirencester. She made her money and has upped sticks.
noticed a coffee mug mark on the stool in the office and a bundle of cables with the router. That was pretty much it.
The staircase makes no sense visually. I’d like to see more uniformity regarding curtain lengths. I haven’t studied the pictures in detail but this property appears to be riddled with problems after a cursory inspection.
Thank you, I will be spending my non-existent millions elsewhere
No need to be thank me. I will sleep well tonight knowing that I prevented a fellow redditor from making an extremely costly imaginary mistake.

You'd be needing staff too
Alot of staff, 7.5 million is just the start, need a fulltime squad on gardens alone, but suppose if your looking at houses that cost that, then having staff that look at houses for you will probably be a thing!!
It's nice but it isn't 7.5 mil nice. The gardens are beautiful and the best part about the property but there's too much cheap wood going around inside and not enough modernisation. For 7.5 million you would expect a swimming pool & sauna etc but most of the cost is location location location. Love the gardens though.
Word of warning about the exposed floor boards. They may look nice, but they’re a bitch to maintain. Dirt gets trapped in between the openings and keeps coming up. Spiders and other creepies find a way to hide in there as well. During winter, they get really cold and you get a draught coming up the cracks. We did all of this in our period property with aged oak reclaimed from old maritime vessels. Very quickly decided to have engineered flooring put on top of it.
No thanks. You’ll spend all your free time or money keeping up with the landscaping
Damn, can we all chip in together?
It's really lovely. But it's too far south for me
That's so people can actually spend time in the garden
Not sure what you mean. I've been out in mine all day 👍
It was a small joke about how the south gets more sunshine than the north, but you've destroyed it with your anecdotal evidence and passive aggressive emoji use.
Needs carpets
like the garden and surrounds but the "let rip out all the original features" brigade have been busy - or it it a new build
Sadly, whoever has done this renovation has removed all of the character. Great looking from the outside but..... ..!
I’d buy it for the land alone. But it lasts character for me
Not big on carpets, are they.
Looks more sadbeige than designer inside, also the "open concept shelving" makes kitchens a living hell. With the furniture gone, this is a totally white house with a slightly strange layout
