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

I actually really love the bathroom!

Um, I like the red leather armchair. And it has walls and a roof; they're good things.

I feel quite emotional about this house too. There are clearly so many memories in every room, and a lot of very personal details left in the photos by the agents. I'm assuming the vendor is still living there, and wouldn't have taken kindly to the usual brutal estate agent photographer "tidy up", but the solitary chair by the Aga is so poignant and gives the impression that the house is just too much for them now.

I agree with PP: underneath there's a beautiful light mid-century time capsule with striking original features like that textured wall and the bathroom tiles. The frontage is a bit brutal, but with a sympathetic architect I'm sure you could blend it in better.

I rather like it. It's like time stood still.
I like it because it's just so damn different to all the cookie cutter houses.
It hideous but that makes it really rather wonderful.

Yes it was the chair by the aga that made me feel really sad - as another poster said so eloquently, you can imagine how their world has got smaller and smaller.

I'd pay £600k just to bulldoze it, burn the remains and bury it forever. Euch.

I could imagine it belonged to someone like Jim Bowen

Jim Bowen lived in a beautiful converted railway station.

I'm picturing Roy'Chubby'Brown in that house .

The rows of chairs in the bedroom, do they all sit together to do the make-up or it it one chair for hair , another for lipsticks .
There's a lot of wardrobe space too....

Holy shit😂

I'v been googling like mad but can't find anything to say it was originally a commercial property. I can't believe anyone would have built a residential property with those commercial features. Anyone who's local, any of your old relatives remember it from the 60s?

I think it's amazing and would happily live in Lytham St Annes - it's very quiet and lovely.

The floor in the giraffe room is bloody gorgeous.

It has a a aga though ..

An Aga*

I really like it. I would not live in it, but it brings back memories.

It really is something the NT should buy.

I would snap anybody’s hand off if they offered me a chance to live in Lytham St Anne’s. It’s lovely, and it’s not just a retirement area either.

I think it’s quite funny that posters who know the area have had to justify the poshness of Lytham St Anne’s to people who seem to believe that nowhere on the Lancashire coast, or in the county of Lancashire come to that, could possibly be a desirable place to live. Because the entire county is full of arcades, dark satanic mills, bingo halls and fish and chip shops, see.

The sneering is hilarious: ‘on the road to Blackpool’, ‘very overpriced for where it is’, etc. You can easily spend £1m on a house there, and if I had £1m to spend on a house, that’s where I’d spend it.

Oh wow!! It’s so awful I love it

How ugly on the outside but so much potential inside! The size of that first bedroom!! but no window to look out I’d hate that.

I LOVE IT

I think the carpets would not be so bad if there were neutral walls, and the wallpaper would not be so bad if there was a plain floor. It’s the clash of two very busy designs which is the killer.

@twentyviginti I’m @ you because this reply is quite a long way from your post so you might not see it.

This is the twitter post that seems to have had the most views and replies but others have tweeted a link too:

Who knows, with all the views, this could be someone’s dream purchase and the house will be sold very quickly.

I didn’t notice it was leasehold originally (well done all those who were more eagle eyed), which makes me think buying it to build an ‘infill’ development wouldn’t be possible.

Disagree completely with comments about smelling of cigarettes on here and Twitter - you don’t get 40 year old carpets that glow like neon if there are smokers in the house.

Then you’ll understand where I’m coming from. Bloody awful.

I like the bathroom too @Yellredder .

“I would snap anybody’s hand off if they offered me a chance to live in Lytham St Anne’s. It’s lovely, and it’s not just a retirement area either.”

We must be thinking of different Lythams and St. Annes.

Flat, boring, and the tide never comes in 😁

Cornwall, lovely, The Lakes, lovely, Snowdonia, lovely, Glencoe, lovely. Lytham and St. Annes, no.

The estate agent will be wondering why there are so many internet hits on this .

@Chillipeanuts The two girls’ houses where I was were actually pretty nice as far as UK boarding schools go. I never visited Dragon and Mitre Fleur De Lys didn’t have the best rep but I was quite happy with the standard of accommodation and the grounds. Certainly not bloody awful.

I don't think they will - they are probably telling their friends and family 'you've got to see this place!'.

It could be a selling point I suppose - there was recently a 'time capsule' house on the market where it was full of 60/70s furniture and decorations (all the really iconic stuff) and it was on the market as a full package. Maybe its too soon for this though.
