There isn't a location in the UK that would justify paying 700k for that house imo.

Well your opinions wrong.
Stick it in 1000 other streets in London alone and you’d get em queuing round the block to make an offer. Buyers are buying an area as much as a property.
It’s 5 mins to tube & 2 train lines, cinema and restaurants on your door step, Zone 3 etc etc and is probably priced at the going rate for a doer upper around there in the potential punters eyes. The fact that it’s on the open market indicates that the local quick turn around speculators of which Ive worked for a few don’t see it as a project worth investing in. If they can’t have it back on the market with the same agent within three months then its no use to either them or the agent.
London properties don’t suddenly revert to NE prices when someone whose paid more than you would sticks their gaff up for sale.

Where in my post did I give the impression that I didn't think it would sell?

I know people can live how they wish and take enjoyment from having a house decorated in a way that allows this, but those who take it too far are spending money to devalue their property.

I suppose it comes down to what is more important, have the house looking nice when you live in it, or have the house how you don’t like it because of the resale value. Though at least internally they would have been sensible to buy £50 of magnolia and go over the whole house.
