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?

For £7.5m I'd expect a cryo chamber thrown in

An eel house??

Is it possibly a lift? Like this:

It says in the description ....

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.

Im guessing this is the steam room, with adjoining kitchen.

Looks like one of those public lavatories that are like a tardis but scary because you feel, if you go in, you'll never be able to get out.

TremblingFanjo · 09/07/2019 12:10

Yeah but it's not so much an adjoining kitchen as in the fucking kitchen, is it Grin

LillithsFamiliar · 09/07/2019 12:14

summerof the potato farm is impressive but if I was the owner I'd be raging that Savills had put their watermark all over the photos! It's difficult to see past the giant Savills. They don't usually do that.

whatswrongwithmyarm · 09/07/2019 12:15

The photos I have seen I loved.....and then they just stop! Where the fuck are all the photos?! There are more photos usually of just 2 bed flats! Makes me think the rest of the house must be really shite.

whatswrongwithmyarm · 09/07/2019 12:17

I couldn't focus on anything on the potato farm other than the word 'savills' 😂

NotGenerationAlpha · 09/07/2019 12:18

I live near winchester and I don't think I dare to call the agents to arrange a viewing. I just don't look right for this house Grin

user1471523870 · 09/07/2019 12:19

It looks like a shower but my bet goes to a wine fridge!

DuMondeB · 09/07/2019 12:21

Those coin op toilets with the flip up floor, Rachel?

Those were terrifying!

Those toilets used to terrify me, I always thought I'd get squashed by them when I was a child no chance of that now

bobstersmum · 09/07/2019 12:40

Isn't it a stand up sunbed?

Madcats · 09/07/2019 12:44

I have to say that potato farm place is absolutely gorgeous!

The Waldorf Hilton decided to put some strange glass pods in their bedrooms in place of proper bathrooms with walls about 12 years ago. It wasn't a good idea.

That steam room in OP looks plain weird, but I do love the pool.

Girlundercover · 09/07/2019 12:47

A stand up body dryer?

If you spend that much on your house you probably don’t want the faff of towels.

AnneKipanki · 09/07/2019 12:48

I think it is the treatment room with the steam room etc as do previous posters

DuMondeB · 09/07/2019 12:53

I like the idea of the body dryer, but why would you want it in your kitchen? 😃

BlueSkiesLies · 09/07/2019 12:56

"treatment room" on the floor plan so I am going with steam room.

EileenAlanna · 09/07/2019 15:49

The big black thing has doors in each of the narrow ends & it's divided in two inside. I'm thinking big cupboards/room divider to stop you getting splashed with hot grease from the sausages cooking on the stove as you emerge from the cryogenic chamber/inter-dimentional portal that they got from 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Steam Room with adjoining kitchen is one of the weirdest combos I've heard of in a long time. Is it a thing among super rich people? And it looks like only one person can stand up in it? Please can someone go and view it?

Knitwit99 · 09/07/2019 15:58

Oh I see it's under offer. I've missed my chance.

omione · 09/07/2019 16:22

Lift ?

Itssosunny · 09/07/2019 16:28

If not a body drier then a spaghetti drier! Very long spaghettiGrin

Slacksandblouse · 09/07/2019 16:28

It says it has a steam room with an adjoining kitchen. That’s your steam room - the silver thing.
