Fucking massive compared to my house, and worth the same!

Edit - there are some odd things about the decor but wouldn’t be too hard to change to someone else’s personal taste

We have a hot tub. Blame the previous owners who left it. We are definitely upper end of middle class, arguably in my case aristocracy.

Oh go on, do tell more!

IckyIck · 30/04/2026 23:44

My house would put Chatsworth to shame.

Redpaisley · 30/04/2026 23:43

Yes it’s a poorly decorated middle class house.

xxxlove · 30/04/2026 23:37

It is just an oversized house. Middle class or even class, my ass

or is it just run of the mill these days?

Run of the mill, my partner and I have never earned less than 100 grand between us, we don’t live in a house like that

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 30/04/2026 23:25

My dream home and dream price! Wish there were houses in London like that! I would say middle class

Buges · 30/04/2026 23:22

I wouldn’t say middle class. My house is almost identical. Difference is I live in Scotland and it would be at least half that price.

But what class of aristocracy are you?

I once heard a duke pontificate on the subject - 'I'd say we're probably upper middle class aristocracy, if you had to put a label on it.'

Middle class wannabe house. More money than style reveals their working class roots.

SpringLambton · 30/04/2026 23:10

Middle class by house size and price (in that area). Decor and furniture are closer to aspirational working class.

MeganM3 · 30/04/2026 23:09

Yes middle class, but of the suburban / bland type of middle class. Rather than the more cultured and educated, ‘agent-guarde’ type of middle class.

So much bollocks talked on this site . ‘Evidence of travels’ 🙄

Show quote history

I am delighted to learn that when I sell, all the suitcases perched precariously on the top of wardrobes will be seen as evidence of travels.

I’m looking at a similar house (in a slightly different area) and I suppose wanted to know what people would think of me if I lived somewhere like that! I know it’s shallow!

I would think you were maybe a bit 'flashy' but that's just me!

rollinginthedeepsea · 30/04/2026 23:02

I think it’s rather lovely personally! Similar price to where I live , further North, looks like a generous sized house for a family living on a comfortable wage

ButterYellowHair · 30/04/2026 23:02

Class doesn’t depend on the price, size or decor of a home. It’s more nuanced.

hahabahbag · 30/04/2026 22:57

It’s huge, around here though it would cost double that admittedly.

Shinyhappyapple · 30/04/2026 22:56

bohemianwrapsody · 30/04/2026 21:15

Nothing middle class about that house. No books, art, evidence of travels, musical instruments...just an awful lot of fake plants.

Beautiful home, I wouldnt think average. I love the garden room. Lovely spacious home that alot of people could only aspire to own

Heylittlesongbird · 30/04/2026 22:53

If you have genuinely just linked a random house which is similar to one you like then I feel quite sorry for the owners. They’ll have a huge amount of traffic and their tastes are being criticised without their knowledge or them asking about it. It feels a bit mean to me.

Somedreamer · 30/04/2026 22:50

These mean and snide comments are peak mumsnet 😂 Pretend you’re hearing them at a Year 8 school disco, OP 💃

Wolmando · 30/04/2026 22:48

It must be a fairly cheap area, it's similar to where I live for house prices, a lot of places would only get you a 3 bed for that price

ApplebyArrows · 30/04/2026 22:47

Practically a slumhouse. Smaller than my dog's kennel.

TwentyPastSix · 30/04/2026 22:47

It’s not MC by my definition.

What a ridiculous statement.
