No wonder they don't dare name a price!

Surely no one would ever buy this monstrosity.

oh Jesus!Shock

KlutzyDraconequus · 08/10/2018 00:11

I'd buy that in heartbeat if I had enough. It'd make an awesome swingers party house. Couldn't you just see loads of wobbly middle aged naked people in face masks in that house?

Itchyknees · 08/10/2018 00:12

Oh my word it’s FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!

I’m thinking if the catholic gay men I know, and how if they see this they will break in and never ever leave!

TruelyTruelyScrumptious · 08/10/2018 00:13

It is a beautiful house, some of their furniture is OTT but the house structure is amazing.

Lucylugs · 08/10/2018 00:14

I think the actual house is stunning it's just the decor is hideous!!

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 08/10/2018 00:14

"Do you know, this used to be a church?"

"No! I'd never have guessed!! Fabulous conversion!"

HerRoyalNotness · 08/10/2018 00:16

Oh it would be ok once they removed all their belongings

MyKingdomForBrie · 08/10/2018 00:17

It looks like a nice house under the rather eccentric decor.

Hyppolyta · 08/10/2018 00:19

I love that house.

The crucifix over the beds are a bit much admittedly, but at least it isnt all white!

Redglitter · 08/10/2018 00:20

The decor & furnishings are awful. The actual building is amazing. It'll definitely sell

tigercub50 · 08/10/2018 00:20

Blimey! It could be amazing. Certainly very different without the current owners’ stuff in, although it would be hard to picture that. You could hire it out for a film set. Curious to know what the price is

CazzieCatsRock · 08/10/2018 00:22

I absolutely LOVE it!! Wow!!

ineedtostopbeingsolazy · 08/10/2018 00:22

Its an amazing house. They'll take their stuff and furniture away and you'll be left with slightly strange decor but nothing s bit of decorating wouldn't fix.

DreamALittleDreamOf · 08/10/2018 00:22

Surely they would take all their tat and shit with them. Gut it and redecorate and it would be stunning.

DreamALittleDreamOf · 08/10/2018 00:24

Is that a real tiger skin Shock Angry

Tailfeather · 08/10/2018 00:25

Looks terrifying. I couldn't spend a night there on my own.

ToadOfSadness · 08/10/2018 00:26

At least it has character unlike the bland empty wall-less grey boxes that everyone seems to want these days.

I would buy it if I could, but without the poor dead tiger (and some of the other stuff, but would live in it as it is if I could just own it.

wafflyversatile · 08/10/2018 00:26

Id love it! It even keep a couple of the rooms as they are. Maybe. For a little while.

My only criticism is it looks outside like it should have more inside.

StrangeAndUnpleasant · 08/10/2018 00:27

Is that a real tiger skin?? Fucking hideous decor but I think it would be beautiful with a bit of redecorating. Location looks amazing too.

KickAssAngel · 08/10/2018 00:38

I love it, and also think that once a lot of it has been taken away, what's left will be great.

BUT - the kitchen has no natural light. I think I'd find that hard to live with.

Rebecca36 · 08/10/2018 00:40

Wow! Right out of Hammer horror!

I know the area actually (not seen that house), it's quite a run down sort of area, lots of unemployed people and cheap b&bs. I think it would be a good idea for some poor and homeless people to squat in that house.

HappenedForAReisling · 08/10/2018 00:42

Fabulous! Grin

But....ESTATE AGENTS; STOP FUCKING TWEAKING/PHOTOSHOPPING/FILTERING FUCKING HOUSE PHOTOS!
I want to know what a property looks like, not how well you can use filters Angry

CanadianJohn · 08/10/2018 00:42

I would have loved the house 50 years ago, but these days I want simplicity and clean lines. Would someone care to contact the agent, see how much they are asking for it.

ReanimatedSGB · 08/10/2018 00:43

I love it too. I'd be quite sad if the previous owners took away all their awesome furniture.

PyongyangKipperbang · 08/10/2018 00:43

I love it! OK so the choice of decor is.....questionable, but the house itself is incredible.
