Rightmove listing - what is this thing in the kitchen?

94 replies

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 09/07/2019 10:42

Idly scoping out rightmove for property porn and found this one: www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-80077217.html

Can anyone identify what the things are in pic 7 of the kitchen?

I assume the black thing is the back of some kind of storage unit, but what is the silver thing that looks like a personal cryogenic chamber?

And why is it all wedged in the corner of what seems to be a fairly spacious kitchen on the floorplan?

Is it a shower?
I was going to say lift but the ceiling looks intact.
You might be right with cryogenic chamber.

Weirdly, that silver spaceship appears to have hinges and a full-length silver tubular handle.

It's a door, maybe?

Is it something to do with the Mill?

TremblingFanjo · 09/07/2019 10:53

Is it the steam room in the separate Mill House guest cottage?

FudgeBrownie2019 · 09/07/2019 10:53

You know how when old mill houses are renovated and the old parts of the building are incorporated? A restaurant near here has some kind of giant water wheel right in the middle of one of the function rooms as it used to be a water mill. It's lovely and quirky.

A weird looking fridge? Grin

BendyLikeBeckham · 09/07/2019 10:54

shower?

tanning pod?

upright space coffin for Dracula?

Livedandlearned · 09/07/2019 10:54

A massive boiler?

SoupDragon · 09/07/2019 10:55

I think it's a portal to another dimension.

AngeloMysterioso · 09/07/2019 10:55

Tanning booth?

Sweetooth92 · 09/07/2019 10:55

Could it be a wine cabinet type thing 🤔

Hadalifeonce · 09/07/2019 10:56

fridge?

babysharkah · 09/07/2019 10:57

Really fancy wine chiller? Could the mill wheel be in the brown thing?

Bloody lovely house though.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 09/07/2019 10:58

I think that’s the pool house kitchen so I’m going with stand up tanning booth

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 09/07/2019 10:58

I am guessing it must open on the other side, as this side is angled towards the black thing, which would make it awkward to open any door otherworldly portal

But there are little lights all round the base to jazz it up on all sides, so...?

Not many pictures considering it’s 7.5mil house.

SoupDragon · 09/07/2019 11:01

Is it the steam room in the separate Mill House guest cottage?

I agree. This photo is of the cottage, not the main house.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 09/07/2019 11:01

Oh yes, I see the pic mentions the Mill House, and this is the bit on the MH floor plan.

Why on earth would you cover the old mill wheel like that though? Surely a glass case would be more in keeping that than monstrosity.

Still doesn't reveal what the silver thing is though, apart from right in the way.

I've spent far too long looking at various pictures and floorplans.

That picture doesn't match any floorplan as far as I can see.

SoupDragon · 09/07/2019 11:03

It's here

Not many bedrooms either! I'd want at least one per million.

MindyStClair · 09/07/2019 11:03

I’d guess a wine chiller, or if it’s the ‘pool kitchen’ maybe an isolation tank thing!

progestermoan · 09/07/2019 11:05

I would not like to live that close to a river 😳

MILHouse · 09/07/2019 11:05

In the description it mentions a steam room with adjoining kitchen. I think the silver thing must be a weird steam chamber or something.

Deanetta · 09/07/2019 11:07

I think it's the steam room:

'On the ground floor there is a double-height gymnasium/studio with Bang& Olufson audio system and air conditioning and a bespoke treatment room with a steam room and adjoining kitchen.'
