Yeah, I was quite looking forward to the mews house from the blurb, but it was a bit meh.
Turns out the way to bring a leaky old London house up to standard is to gut it so that only 4 walls remain, and then build a brand new expensive house inside. Shit, if only I'd thought of that, all I needed was a spare couple of mil and problem solved.

It’s also not the money-no-object sickly indulgence of a lot of the others on the long list.
Building a massive library next to your Manor House out of lovely materials or converting your posh London mews house is not vaguely interesting or clever. Anyone rich enough who can Google ‘architect’ could do that. It’s a like showing off about how pleased you are with yourself for cleverly picking the specification on your new Rolls Royce.
