House hunters in the UK were left shocked after a drab-looking 1960s house was listed for sale for an eye-watering £1.6m. The home boasts five bedrooms and is large at 2,700 square feet with five storeys and a bathroom on almost every floor.
The pad, in Sydenham Hill, south London, is close to trendy Crystal Palace and has speedy train links into London.
The house looks like almost any other mid-century British home and those who spotted it were amazed by its hefty price tag. There are 15 rooms in the spacious house that have been put up for sale for £1,600,000.
Agents on the housing website Rightmove described the Modern House as an “exquisite terrace”.

Its description on Rightmove says: “This expansive and elegant five-bedroom townhouse on Austin Vernon and Partners’ beautiful terrace at Woodsyre, Sydenham.
“One of a series of exquisite terraces and estates between Dulwich and Sydenham Woods, Woodsyre is defined by its archetypal clean lines and generous proportions that characterise the practice’s work of the 1950s and 60s.
“Stretching over five storeys, the key living spaces each have a distinct outlook and character, rising through the treetops.”
The house lies on the Dulwich Estate, north of the centre of Sydenham and not far from posh Dulwich Village and East Dulwich.
The description continues: “It is noted for its concentration of outstanding 1950s and ’60s design, much of it by Austin Vernon and Partners.
“The mix of houses and thoughtful landscaping make for an appealing and unique place to live.”
One person who saw the listing added a photo on Twitter, saying: “I like these houses a lot.
“But that’s quite a price.”
Another lamented: “We all lived in council accommodation just like this. A heartbeat ago.”
One replied: “Crikey, they don’t often get over the million mark! Would love one *sigh*”
One added: “We’ve certainly hit new levels of property (and rent) price insanity.”
