“Currently unmortgageable in its current condition”

If I had the money and skills I'd grab it.

Its a great building. If I had the money and the time/ability I'd snap it up.

It’s in a good area though it is an absolute gem if you have the money and the skills to do it up.

I dunno, I love a fixer upper but the amount of leaks and damp in that place is unreal. And it's listed, so presumably it's harder to just crack on and fix stuff.

I'd take it for 100k 😂

I’d love to do I myself, but don’t have a spare £175K+ to make it mortgageable though. Sigh.

DH says he’d buy it if we could afford it.

I’m not normally a ‘woo’ person, but I’m feeling a bit creeped out by the house, and I don’t know why? We’ve renovated 2 houses ourselves, so it’s not the condition per se...

Aww, I feel a bit sad looking at it. Definitely seems an older person was struggling on there with no central heating and all the damp.

Love a Rightmove thread keep them coming

I almost started one about the hideous interior design in Ryan Giggs' gaffe but thought I'd get stick from the holier than thou types

How are people getting the link? Can't see it.

fuckinell I can smell it through the pictures

Oooo it gave me the shivers. I don’t like it. I think it’s haunted

Exactly patch work!!!

I thought an older person and neglect but look at the colour of the family room. It's quite modern. It feels more like someone younger but not coping.

Poor house. I think it could be a lovely family home. It might take more than doodle's extra £175k to do it, though.

I think it needs £100k spending on it to bring it up to proper scratch, so you want £275k free and clear, less if you do a lot yourself. I could do it, but I couldn’t cope with the drop in temperature from the south east and the increased rain.

I keep seeing amazing properties in Scotland, but it’s just too bloody cold!

Is the second pic the kitchen? I can’t figure it out

Sorry fourth pic

I have no idea of prices but I reckon it needs

• The roof over the bay sorting out
• The ceiling in the living room making good
• Double glazed windows, and they'll have to be sash ones to keep the look of the listed house
• Rewiring
• Possibly re-plumbing, depending on the age of the pipes
• Central heating
• The conservatory off the half-landing demolishing and taking away
• The kitchen walls plastering
• A new kitchen
• A new bathroom
• All the damp damage making good, which may include a new roof and/or replastering
• Possibly a second bathroom in what's currently the smallest bedroom
• New flooring throughout
• Painting inside and out
• New curtains, which won't be cheap given the size of those windows
• The gardens, front and back, fettling

It's certainly A Project but I really think it could be gorgeous. It doesn't feel creepy at all to me, just unloved.

Jingle, yes, the fourth pic is the kitchen. There's a little caption in right side of the dark bar at the bottom of each photo.

It makes me sad. I just imagine a lonely 80 odd year old man living there alone in his former family home. Not coping at all since his wife died 20 years ago and he hadn't the money or the sense to manage and maintain that big house. It's awful really if that's the case! See it so so often in my job. There is even still his shower gel and flannel in the bathroom 😥

I knew it would be this house when I read the thread title. I was looking at it the other day and pondering could we do it up!!!

Then I read the home report and sentences like "can see daylight through the roof" sort of put me off!!

Every single box was a grade 3 (immediate action) so I reckon it could swallow £200k easy.

It's a lovely road though - we like that area - and someone will have a lovely house at the end of it.

I bet it'll end up soulless flats.

That's exactly the kind of house I'd love. It's a great house, could be absolutely beautiful. A bit big for me (and far away) but wow.

what a wonderful place i hope whoever buys it keeps the original features would be a shame if it was changed into flats

I wonder what the story behind this is. It must have been neglected for a very long tine to get into that state, but clearly it’s been recently lived in.
