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

I thought it was a converted car sales office at first glance from the external photo.

I bet the people who owned it were out there.

I love it! So completely bonkers and stylised.

bowtieandheels · 01/05/2020 03:25

And the moulded wall in the TV room is incredible, I want!!

Gingerkittykat · 01/05/2020 16:37

Lythan St Annes is just along the coast from Blackpool and is much more genteel.

It still seems hideously overpriced though.

nyu82 · 01/05/2020 17:33

Oooh , my eyes..... can never unsee that - but it does make my place look good !!

rachaelclaire1 · 01/05/2020 17:37

Confused just needs knocking down

FelicisNox · 01/05/2020 17:38

Good grief! You would have to gut it and start from scratch!

The whole house looks like it's made from cardboard anyway.

ToPlanZ · 01/05/2020 17:43

Well that's a bit special isn't it!

Chocolate50 · 01/05/2020 17:48

why is there a bed in the garage?!

like7 · 01/05/2020 17:48

Thanks op! Think it's strangest home I've ever seen. Amazing carpets, the deer and giraffe and tv/arm chair in the kitchen. But burst out laughing when I got to the bed in the garage!! I wonder who sleeps there? Thanks for cheering me up!

Lytham is lovely, this house isn’t

NannyOggsWhiskyStash · 01/05/2020 17:53

The Tiger King would fit right in rarrrr

Happygirl79 · 01/05/2020 17:54

Leasehold

kenandbarbie · 01/05/2020 17:55

I drove past it every day for 20 years. It’s not on the main road to Blackpool for everyone saying it is. It’s on the promenade. The main road to Blackpool is Clifton Drive, which is one road in parallel to this road. It’s in St Anne’s not Lytham. Both are much nicer than Blackpool. It will have gorgeous sea views dunes or not. All the houses there technically own a bit of beach but in practice it’s public land.

plum100 · 01/05/2020 17:58

Absolutely love it!!!! So different !

Sudoku88 · 01/05/2020 17:59

God almighty, some people got seriously bad taste! Don’t know about property prices in that area but 600k sounds a bit steep. You’d have to knock the whole thing down and rebuild.

Pliudev · 01/05/2020 18:00

It's not in Lytham though is it? I thought at first it was South Shore but the address says North. Blackpool town council should slap a preservation order on this. Then open it to the public. They've spent millions in trying to appeal to a different type of tourist and missed the point that Blackpool should celebrate its brashness and it's authentically retro establishments and market it accordingly. As to who owned it, surely there's a clue in the baby grand and the small organ. I'd bet on someone who played the end of the pier in its heyday. There was a brilliant programme about Blackpool in its pomp on tv the other night.

Svalberg · 01/05/2020 18:02

Lots of houses in the north-west are leasehold, £5 per year (fixed) and leases of several hundred years. And the owners of the leases changed in the late 90s for many of the houses that I know of.

flyingspaghettimonster · 01/05/2020 18:03

There is no redeeming feature. They ahouod tear it down an put up something less painfully ugly

kenandbarbie · 01/05/2020 18:03

Oh my god it’s not in Blackpool for the millionth time, or lytham. ITS IN ST ANNES.

Melm22 · 01/05/2020 18:11

Tbf I am not thinking where is the sex dungeon, I am thinking more of where did they put the bodies?! Confused

SamSoSer · 01/05/2020 18:12

It’s probably the ugliest home I’ve ever seen and way to close to Blackpool. This would be my room in hell

ilovemygirls · 01/05/2020 18:14

It looks just like a B&B we stopped in once - in Weston Super Mare!!!

kenandbarbie · 01/05/2020 18:16

I would love it. Total redo in mid century style. The sunsets there are better than anywhere in the world.

Jeeperscreepers69 · 01/05/2020 18:18

Wow 👀 i feel a party or two has been thrown here at bungalow blackpool.
