Love it! Whoever was responsible for it has a good eye.

Just the one.

It has soul and lovely bones. Whoever owns it has made it their own on the budget they have. Far better than all the amazing old houses and terraces that have been stripped out to look like a new build. I have given up looking for a new house becaue I love an old terrace, of which their are thousands up here in Leeds. But every where I look, all the character has been stripped out and those kitchens, weird fires and greige quickly become outdated.

I like it but is there a bath in the former kitchen/lounge?! That big pink thing? The canal would be a worry to me with small dc but I actually think they’ve turned what could be a small, drab house into something very beautiful. If a bit headache inducing.

Something odd with the ceiling but there is nonetheless something that draws me to the decor. It’s quite arty.

Breath of fresh air in contrast to all the open plan grey soulless boxes that are so popular

Closed, stuffy and oppressive.
Much prefer open plan soulless box that you can make your own.
But these differences makes the world go round!

ChompandaGrazia · 25/05/2025 00:12

Not to my taste but they clearly love it. That water is scary though. The concrete side like that give me the fear.

Empress13 · 24/05/2025 23:53

Would give me a headache living there

soupyspoon · 24/05/2025 23:47

Estate agent has put the floor plan the wrong way round. The kitchen is at the front of the house by the look of it.

Theres lots I like about it. I would change some of the layout personally. I would get ride of the utility room at the back and have it as a wider sitting room and block that off with a stud wall from the dining room. Dont like open plan

FloofyKat · 24/05/2025 23:45

Not to my taste at all but each to their own.

Zov · 24/05/2025 23:45

The water 'burn' running so close would put me right off too (sorry!) As a pp said, it appears to go under the house!

The slightly wild and slightly erratic garden is nice, but it's a no from me.

Zov · 24/05/2025 23:43

Not for me sorry @Gulliver88

Did it used to be a shop or something? With the big window at the front, and how kind of open plan it is inside....?

It's fucking horrible - so tacky! But each to their own, some people clearly love it and the garden is fab.

Good luck selling it OP, great marketing on here for you, I'm surprised it's allowed.

Honestly it's not mine!
I just love looking at houses for sale online

No sorry. That ceiling 😔

Ribenaberry12 · 24/05/2025 20:58

Love that

People post their own houses often under something like ‘wow look at this house!’ Etc to try drum up interest. Pretty standard MN fodder

Show quote history

Oh I know, but no idea why this post would be that or why it would matter anyway. It’s hardly a stunning gotcha.

Molly499 · 24/05/2025 18:19

I couldn't spend ten minutes in there without running for the door, not exactly a restful vibe. Decor is way too trashy; there are ways of working patterns and textures together but this is not it, makes me want to scream and rip it all out.

Clarinet1 · 24/05/2025 17:43

I like this kind of look - very Laurence Llewelyn Bowen - although if I were thinking of buying the house seriously I would want to take a closer look at how well and neatly everything had been done.

Sortoutyourshit · 24/05/2025 17:22

Had to look up where it is but bloody hell f that price

InPraiseOfIdleness · 24/05/2025 17:22

Busy road, cramped, visual assault of clashing patterns and colours in poor taste, clutter, weird ceilings, terrible garden and in an impractical shape, no proper heating, not in a great area… no parking, no privacy, and it’s listed!

I guess it’s cheap, so there’s that. Although for good reasons!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 24/05/2025 17:14

In picture 25 , it looks like the water tunnel goes under the house

ProperCupofTea · 24/05/2025 17:09

Hideous, And seems overpriced given it's in the middle of nowhere and clearly needs a LOT of work (ex-kitchen with a bath in it and new kitchen looks like its been thrown together from random bits of furniture. both inside. Then there's the horrible ceiling and electric heating as well. The garden is less 'sanctuary' and more overgrown mess. And I agree, rats and bad smells from that waterway....

I agree some colour is better than greige/beige soulless boxes but there's a vast difference between this floral, calf-shit yellow monstrosity and "nice use of colour and a bit quirky". Would cost a fortune to get all that sorted out and then you'd top out the price ceiling for the area.

I don't like the big window at the front

It looks as though it might have been a shop at some point. There are quite a few houses in my town like that.

The decor is all too busy and fussy for me, I'm afraid. And I'm no minimalist, not by a long way!

Funnywonder · 24/05/2025 15:22

It’s a bit mad … in a good way!! I wouldn’t live in it myself as there’s too much going on, but my taste does lean a little in that direction tbh.

I Really like it-apart from that ceiling.

Agree the ceiling spoils it
