What is this thing in the bathroom?

So, I'm checking out some EuroMillions houses (I live in hope) & found an unusual one. But what is this, in the bathroom? I thought it must be a radiator but there's one already.

I think it’s a towel holder- it has little hooks coming out of it.

It would look great in a skip imo.

Towel/dressing gown holder?

Looks like it has little hooks on it Confused maybe for clothes or towels. Bit big right enough.

The kitchen had an odd arrangement, too. I've always wanted a kitchen with two separate sinks, but not like this.

stupid waste of space it what it is.
I think they use it to take gouges out of their skin when they brush past it.

Where do they put their bidet towels and spare bog rolls?

Why have they got illegal electric sockets less than 3m from the bath?

Nice tiles.

And what is that on the wall above the bidet? Can't be a hook over a bidet surely.

It's a bit odd.

Thanks for the link, ifIwerenotanandroid. The views are fabulous, but if I was selling it, I'd want more than those crappy photos for a property with a guide price of 1.75 million quid. I've decided I'm not putting an offer in, I don't like the 2 sinks. 😉

@isthismylifenow

Do you mean the white flushing button?

Or the picture lamp?

Never mind the bathroom, can we talk about the three armchairs arranged around the foot of the bed?!

I can't decide. It's an incredible spot but I think you'd get people on the coastal path or wandering up out of Lulworth, knocking on the door the whole time, asking for directions or to use the loo. Or because they'd been bitten by an adder. (I remember riding on heathland once & coming across a cottage with a sign outside saying DO NOT knock on the door if you've been bitten by an adder, do XYZ instead.)

The kitchen looks like a gothic morgue. Not my cup of tea.

That kitchen has clearly been designed by someone who doesn't use a kitchen daily. We used to have a house with a range boxed off like that and it was a total pain. Sinks with no drainers ...?!

Beautiful spot, but it has the air of abandoned victorian asylum about it. The three chairs observing the bed must be for medics watching the poor abused patient.

And what's with the array of armchairs in the bedroom?

Ooh must be a picture lamp. The silver item higher up on the wall.

Have we established what the silver pipe art item is yet?

I hadn't noticed the armchairs - there's another one off to the side, LOL. I refuse to speculate.

re: kitchen design - actually, there's a housekeeper's room & a chauffer's room on the plans.

How hideous! it looks a bit like the SFX in Terminator 2.

I bet the postperson is grateful for the post box at the bottom of all those stairs up to the front door.

Lots of photos of the views and not many of the interior. Hmm, wonder why...?

Amazing view but the decor is dreadful.

The blurb DOES say "in need of a certain amount of modernisation and refurbishment".

Yep, it does.
