[ChillDoubt]

As it's been 'violated'.

I recall at the time thinking what a monstrosity it was. It doesn't look any better the more I look at it.
It looks more like a government research facility or former Easter bloc 'holding' centre.

Thoughts/opinions?

[janbee]

I liked it.

[wolf63]

Is it not a posh block of flats?

[Retrochic]

he only has the penthouse its not all his.

[jackthehat]

The architecture certainly doesn't float my boat.

With the sale of this property, I take it he has now severed all ties with UK?

[hc4361]

It is, wolf. Cliff has the penthouse apartment

[murraymints]

I am not surprised I would not stay in a place that plod has tramped through in his size 12's.. hideous looking place I agree..but a gentleman's home is his castle..it was wrong of the law to behave as they did

It is an Art Deco place apparently, and I mostly like Art Deco. We lost a beautiful building when they demolished the Firestone tyre factory. But this place just looks tired and tatty...rather like an office block.

It's only the Penthouse, I'll bet it's got great views, and when you're on the inside looking out you don't see the outside!

[EcclesCake]

I quite like the place, but it is a architectural style that I admire.

How about this apartment http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-26167518.html

More to the point, Cliff Richard liked it.

The architect obviously thinks it's a thing of beauty but I can understand why he wants to sell now, I would too after that. And if I lived in luxury in the Caribbean I wouldn't be interested in keeping it anyway except for investment.

[Khandro]

It certainly looks better than The Dakota Apartments; John Lennon's (RIP) New York home.

[vakayu]

Was that his only residence in UK?

[murraymints]

I think he considers Portugal as his main residence and Bermuda as his Winter home...wonder if he needs a gardener or cook or housekeeper or dog walker or....or...or..

[murraymints]

he sold his big house in Berkshire some years back !

[DTCwordfan]

well I guess that's going to add another few million to his kitty.

[vakayu]

Let me guess now murraymints which you would choose Portugal or Bermuda?

[Baldric]

He used to have a property on the Norfolk Broads at one time.

[murraymints]

Vak..I think Portugal...I used to have a place near where his gaffe is..mine not so palatial I hasten to add....

[Prudie]

Think you'll find it's Barbados not Bermuda...
