In 2017, the UK property website did a survey, what kind of house can 1 million pounds buy around the country?
Bayswater, London: one-bedroom apartment
It's pretty nice looking, it's this white building with lawn. It's only one bedroom, but it's 80sqm, quite spacious and fully modernly decorated, with a small garden outside.
London, Fulham: one-bedroom apartment
This apartment is a little roomier than the one above, and is on the top floor, with beautiful views of the city and the Thames. Fulham is a leafy area with many good schools and fine restaurants and is popular with the London middle class.
Highgate, London: two-bedroom second-floor apartment set
