So many questions-like where’s the sex dungeon, why so many chairs in the bedroom?

WowGrin I could imagine it belonged to someone like Jim Bowen or Roy Barraclough. A proper old school Blackpool entertainer.

The carpets! 🤮

MsInsomniac · 30/04/2020 01:31

Is that a bed in the garage? And is there an armchair blocking the kitchen with a big tv 2 feet away?! Amazing. Shame it’s dunes and not sea you can see though.

Ellmau · 30/04/2020 01:33

Even the estate agent has to admit the outside is awful.

As for the interior, well, I suppose you have to respect the owners for decorating cording to their own tastes with no heed for fashion, taste or colour coordination.

On promenade, but no mention of sea views, does that mean on a busy main road?

ofwarren · 30/04/2020 01:35

That area is promenade but the dunes are huge so no sea view unfortunately.

ofwarren · 30/04/2020 01:36

And yes, busy main road. The main road into blackpool in fact

ElizabethMainwaring · 30/04/2020 01:36

Ha ha! The bed in the garage! What a wonderful finale! (I quite like the carpets, strangely)

Winnietheshit · 30/04/2020 01:42

There’s such a lot to unpick there. And it’s like a time capsule.

tobee · 30/04/2020 01:46

The main bedroom (?) with the long dressing table seems to have 3 chairs. Looks more like a dressing room for a trio of the chorus when there's only a double bed. 🤔

tobee · 30/04/2020 01:47

And the closed blue curtains in the living room. You can imagine them gliding open to view the body Shock

Nancydrawn · 30/04/2020 01:48

With about £80k of renovation it could be kind of great. Not my scene, but you could go totally California-faux-midcentury-modern. Biggest problem is the ceilings.

JamMakingWannaBe · 30/04/2020 01:48

They apparently own the beach too!? 🏖

tobee · 30/04/2020 01:49

Maybe the giraffe uses the beach to top up his tan. 🦒

SamMarie37 · 30/04/2020 01:50

So many questions 😂 How many people must live there for all the random sofas, tv's & beds? 😂

Holothane · 30/04/2020 01:51

Those mirrors would go for a start, get better carpets in the ceiling would have to be done to get rid of the brown.

JustStayHome · 30/04/2020 01:51

Christ.

That's awful !

If you had the money, why the hell would anyone buy that, in that area, for that price....

SamMarie37 · 30/04/2020 01:51

& no one was bothered to put the toilet seat down before taking pics!

TimeWastingButFun · 30/04/2020 01:53

Horrific! And just think, someone actually went out, chose and paid for those carpets!! No obvious way to make it better either, as even with good decor it’s a horrible house. Good luck with that, as my teen would say...

Aquamarine1029 · 30/04/2020 01:57

MY EYES!!

480Widdio · 30/04/2020 02:00

Why are there four chairs in front of the dressing table in one of the bedrooms!

They own the beach!

It’s horrid,can almost smell it from here.

BendyLikeBeckham · 30/04/2020 02:07

we had carpets like those in the 70s/80s. I don't think the decor has changed since it was built around that time. And its obviously inhabited by elderlies stuck in a time warp.

It is a bedspread covering a little coupe car in the garage not a bed!

I think the owners are perhaps ancient rockers or entertainers. I counted at least 2 pianos. A quick Google suggests Roy Walker or Bobby Ball!!

The garden is a concrete wasteland. Sad.

allfurcoatnoknickers · 30/04/2020 02:08

@Nancydrawn I agree. The interior design is awful, but if you gutted it you could really play up the Mid-Century Modern Vibe and go full Megan Draper in California. I love a very period house though, no matter what period.

Nancydrawn · 30/04/2020 02:16

Yeah, I was going to say like £15k and then I saw the drop ceilings which...need some work. You'd also have to get rid of the Aga, which is a phrase I rarely use, but that thing needs either an actually modern stove or a mod-squad range.

Nancydrawn · 30/04/2020 02:17

But yes totally Megan Draper.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 30/04/2020 02:17

My fucking eyes!

It will be bought cheaper than asking price then knocked down to build another hotel type building.

I would keep the giraffe though. I also have the bedding with the bears on but that is 2019 Asda winter collection, which makes it stand out like a sore thumb in that houseGrin
