Property (very soft porn) A seaside house of considerable character!

[dotdotdotmustdash]

I love old, quirky houses but this one looks almost too old and creepy!

Could you love this house?

Oooh I could love it! Needs some tlc as it does look a bit on the damp side and the outside needs painting and sorting, but those windows! It could be made very, very lovely.

Bad photo of the stairs - that's what makes it look creepy.

[ImperialBlether]

Oh I don't even want to look at the inside photos of that house!

[Owllady]

It's going to cost a fortune to strip off all the render and plaster and make it water tight
It's lovely though esp for the money

[AliceInUnderpants]

Oh I bet that house could tell some stories

*Oh I bet that house could tell some stories

[FoolsAndJesters]

It looks a million times better on street view.

[Condorwoman]

The outside isn't pretty but inside could be amazing.

I think the photographer has failed it tbh. That budgie wallpaper is very pretty and colourful in real life, a friend has it, it looks dark and depressing on the photo.

[CharleyDavidson]

Apart from the strange man in the hazard boiler suit!

[Bunbaker]

No. The ceilings are too low and the windows too small. I find the rooms dark and pokey. It isn't for me at all.

[Condorwoman]

It looks totally different on streetview! Definitely think the person taking the photos was having a very off day.

[MummySparkle]

I love it! Although not sure what they were thinking when they opted for a blue fireplace... It does need TLC, but the stairs are nice and I love the stone fireplace. There is a lot of potential there OP

[ouryve]

It looks cold and damp.

Bet it could be lovely with some TLC, though.

[BunnyTyler]

The downstairs and stairway are pretty creepy!

It's the sort of quietly

[BunnyTyler]

Posted by accident too soon!

...it's the sort of quirky place that is love to have loads of money to make it gorgeous though.

I live in a relatively nearby town and I'm always looking for properties in our price-range, but I really don't think I could ever be comfortable in this house, or that I could visit it and feel any warmth or potential. Maybe it's just the poor photos and the house has a much nicer atmosphere. I think it's probably sold now as the closing date has passed, although it still seems to active on Zoopla. I think I must be more conventional than I like to think I am.

I have my eye on this: www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-36380949.html

(not really - it's about 20x what I could afford)

[bessiebumptious2]

Prices seem so disproportionate when you get to this end of the market though. Look how many rooms/how much square footage the Kent house has in comparison - it doesn't add up!!

Lovely view from the bedroom though and soooo much light

[SnuffleGruntSnorter]

I think it has SO much potential! We're SE though so it seems crazy what you get for your money. A C17 villa for less than 200k! You don't get a mobile home for that here.

[Costacoffeeplease]

Hmm, nice photo of the wheelie bin, but yes, very cold and damp looking

[JeffreySadsacIsUnwell]

Well, it's obviously damp on the walls, but I can't work out whether the dark patches on the floors e.g. In front of the blocked-up fireplace are also damp-related or whether they're bloodstains...

[slicedfinger]

The closing date has passed. I wonder what it went for?

[Behooven]

1600! Wow, it's seen life, death and everything in between.

[FoolsAndJesters]

The Ramsgate house is amazing. It used to be a children's home. I bet it's got a few stories to tell too.

[RaphaellaTheSpanishWaterDog]

I love it - and it seems such a good price, is it likely to go for much over that d'you think?

It reminds me a lot of our last house, that had a very dark, creepy feel when we viewed in 2011 --not helped by lack of lighting downstairs and a power cut the day we viewed......

[GingerIvy]

I love both houses linked.
