I like colour but this is too much for me, it makes me feel a bit claustrophobic. I do love that someone has gone with their style though. I can't figure out how the channel of water fits in with the garden, it seems to head straight towards the house.

LikeARacoonOnMeth · 24/05/2025 07:32

Is that a bath in the upstairs kitchen bit?

BoldBlueZebra · 24/05/2025 07:31

Gorgeous completely love it and what a bargain

FloydWasACat · 24/05/2025 07:28

I love it, except too much artwork...I love art!

Huh?

Show quote history

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

QOD · 24/05/2025 06:32

I want to see the kitchen bedroom

love the floor plan. If I built my own house I’d do something like that. Hall and porch, utility abs cupboards here and there

converted shop I assume

edited to say DUH. I hadn’t even looked at the frontage photo lol. Started with the floor plan 🙄

Sesma · 24/05/2025 06:08

I like it but I like heavily patterned things both in decor and clothing

SugarPlumpFairyCakes · 24/05/2025 06:02

The loo made me feel a bit spinny and it's heavily cluttered. But I like the house.

DeSoleil · 24/05/2025 05:57

It’s not to my taste. I like my home to be restful and calm. That’s far too busy looking.

Pippypippipples · 23/05/2025 22:11

Lmao pretty obvious it’s your house OP 🤣

Huh?

PawsAndTails · 24/05/2025 02:43

It's got some nice aspects I like but that ceiling and those loud wallpapers would have to go pronto.

Growlybear83 · 24/05/2025 02:16

It’s not to my taste but I think it’s so much nicer to see a house with real character than a bland and bare open plan grey house.

FiendsandFairies · 24/05/2025 02:09

It’s great!! It may not be everyone’s taste, but that the owners have put that much effort and love into it means it has a really lovely vibe.

Mumof2wifeof1crazytimes · 24/05/2025 01:42

Nasty ceilings but I like it. When the owners move out and take all their belongings I think it would look very different and sad though.

FagsMagsandBags · 24/05/2025 01:21

I don't kind of like it. I love it! Yes the downstair's ceiling is odd but I'm sure it could be sorted. I love the log burner in the living room. The hall paint is a bit gorgeous and the accent paint is really good too. Excellent garden. My madness might be different than theirs in places but on the whole I love everything they've done and would love to see what's going on with the "former kitchen". I'm also loving that you get to live in a former shop and sometimes I'd play shop in my kitchen just because I could!

Thanks for sharing that. Top property porn!

It's bold. I love that the outside is pink. I actually just had new vinyl siding put on my house and I asked for pink but they didn't have it. But what's going on with the ceiling? It looks like acoustic tiles that have gone moldy.

crumblingschools · 24/05/2025 00:30

A hangover and that toilet won’t make a good combination!

Gattopardo · 24/05/2025 00:28

Wow - that’s … a house.

Now I love pattern and colour and not everything matchy matchy but this is not the house for me. YANBU to love it yourself though. And the person who lives there now, I salute your self expression.

The burn gives me fear of a dog, toddler or myself after a good night out, falling into it. Canals/ burns like this scare me because of the vertical concrete walls and the sense of potential entrapment. The ideal home for anyone with no visiting kids or dogs or fear of canals 😂

ThreePointOneFourOneFiveNine · 24/05/2025 00:25

I wouldn’t decorate my own house like it because I’d find it a bit overwhelming after a while. I’d love to stay there for a few days though. The garden I could happily live with as my own, very special.

AlorsTimeForWine · 24/05/2025 00:20

The ceiling in pic 1 😵‍💫

Also there clearly did some bulk deal on lampshades...

Its not for me... but does have character!

The description keeps using the word 'spacious', yet everything's crammed in together?? 😳

It's spacious if you're a hamster, or if you want to play the piano while you're cooking dinner.

LadyGAgain · 24/05/2025 00:11

It’s stunning.

Communitywebbing · 23/05/2025 23:57

Lovely house though the decor is awful. Great garden.
On an A road though which would be a No from me.

Middleagedstriker · 23/05/2025 23:54

Once the ceiling and insurance are sorted it's lovely.
