No contest.

Someone who just started playing The Sims and doesn't have any expansion packs.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 26/01/2020 00:38

I've not even looked through the pics yet but 3.3 MIL for a semi (that isn't even a semi as the garages link)?????

Boggled.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 26/01/2020 00:44

you can get a castle for that round my way

Andylion · 26/01/2020 00:48

As a friend of mine used to say, that house it ostentasteless.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 26/01/2020 00:58

Well the mortgage would only be £10,500 a month....

I did chuckle at the sad, lonely IKEA Kallax stuck in the corner of pic 10. Looked so out of place amongst the rest of the hideous old furniture.

Wow! It is such a strange mixture. It does look a bit 1970s successful criminal but then the little office looks so out of place.

All that's missing is a mural featuring Wayne Rooney as a cherub.

That really made me laugh BruceandNosh Grin

The first few photos weren’t too bad, then it started to go downhill! For the size of the house there aren’t that many photos either

fatoneatthegym · 26/01/2020 01:26

It's just an asking price. Doesn't mean it'll sell for that much.

PattiPrice · 26/01/2020 01:31

The bathrooms are hideous but the space in the house and the light are wonderful.

It looks like it was refurbished but without builders being present. It really needs to have walls knocked down to make a big bright kitchen. The bathroom in photo five and the wardrobes are particularly awful and the same marble/marble effect pillars throughout the house are dreadful. It looks such a mix of tastes. I think someone from the Middle East who tried to recreate their home in the UK.

Longdistance · 26/01/2020 01:34

It looks very Grecian in style. A stab in the dark with that one.

GreatestShowUnicorn · 26/01/2020 02:06

It can't decide what it is! You jump from the bathrooms (enough said) to the bedroom with everything in plastic containers.

9 bed detached house in the Lake District, for £500k less than the 3bed semi with stagnant pool.

BiarritzCrackers · 26/01/2020 02:58

Dear me, that is just awful.

It's quite hard to spend that much around my way, but this is the nearest, which I rather like. I'd have to learn to ride, though.

mindutopia · 26/01/2020 07:53

Definitely moderately sized Arab or Asian family. The interior is exactly like well to do (but not that well traveled) family homes in India.

ClinkyMonkey · 26/01/2020 08:04

Never mind who lives there, what sort of person would hand over 3.3 million, or even think 'I wonder if they'd knock a few grand off the asking price'?

Nottobesniffedat · 26/01/2020 10:08

King Gary?

GreatestShowUnicorn · 26/01/2020 10:15

streuth that first one is migraine city awful and why take a picture of the pool if its empty and yukky nope not for me

Gogolego · 26/01/2020 12:32

More money than taste springs to mind

It's the pink marble columns. The wardrobes and stuff are easier to deal with because you can rip it out and get something new and neutral put it in. But the marble is more structural than that

AmazingGreats · 26/01/2020 12:53

A blind gangster living with his girlfriend who has multiple personality disorder and his Grandma who's a cocaine fiend?

I mean that's the only possible answer, surely?

BruceAndNosh · 26/01/2020 12:53

@nettie434 It wasn't a joke!
The Trafford Centre shopping mall really does have little murals everywhere and there is one section where all the Cherubs are Man United players!

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 26/01/2020 13:47

Someone from certain nationalities who like that sort of decor!

I’ve seen some incredibly expensive (to me) utter monstrosities in Harrods - and they wouldn’t stock them if nobody was going to buy them.

When we lived in the Middle East there was a style of decor known as ‘Louis Faroukh’ - no prizes for guessing.
Still, each to his/her own....
