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

Yes, I've just realised it's North Promenade, Lytham St.Annes. Does that mean It's in Fylde so doesn't come under Blackpool TC? Shame, because it's part of the history of that area and I doubt there are many of them left. .

It looks like a gangsters house around 1971/72, or a footballers from the same era.
You seen decor like that in porn films from that era also.
It would of at one time been right on trend though.
There was no account for taste in the 70s.
Bet we'll be saying the same about all the chrome, mirrors and high gloss in 50 years from now.

Omg, it looks like some (very) cut price playboy mansion.

I suspect the decorating was done by the demons summoned during some 1970s ouija board party and that large amounts of pampas grass used to grow outside.

Burn it!

kenandbarbie · 01/05/2020 18:25

Yes. Fylde Borough Council.

Stephie0x3 · 01/05/2020 18:25

Definitely haunted

PerkingFaintly · 01/05/2020 18:28

One for the Landmark Trust, do you think, Pliudev? So people get to stay there on holiday?

It could be amazing!

Mumma301 · 01/05/2020 18:29

Is this not a brothel 😂

Thehop · 01/05/2020 18:29

I used to live in at Anne’s, so I love it even though it’s the uglies house I think I‘Ve ever seen 😂

whostoletheeyeoutyourteddybear · 01/05/2020 18:31

Right.. So that is pretty messed up like. Then I went and looked at other houses in the same area and like wtf!! All of the houses are weird and ugly like that. Like I'd there an issue in that area or what! I've never seen so many messed up houses. Also looks like no one seems to care for their house.

kenandbarbie · 01/05/2020 18:34

It’s because there are a lot of rich old people.

CambsAlways · 01/05/2020 18:36

Yuk it’s revolting

Shockers · 01/05/2020 18:36

I haven’t read the whole thread, but I t’s not on the main road to Blackpool (Clifton Drive North); it’s round the corner on the promenade. Some people on that stretch have had the dunes in front of their houses removed with bulldozers from time to time! It’s on a row of very large, individually built houses and has never been a cafe or anything else. It’s fairly quiet down that end of the prom.

Petlover9 · 01/05/2020 18:36

Someone should call the Colour Police - even 1970’s houses were tones of brown and orange. What’s with all the concrete slabs? really horrendous

Shockers · 01/05/2020 18:37

The houses there get extremely weather beaten and need a lot of upkeep on the exterior.

TheBlueBottles · 01/05/2020 18:39

Why is there a bed in the garage? Grin

Cherryblossomsnow · 01/05/2020 18:42

This thread is really nasty. This is someone's home!

JonHammIsMyJamm · 01/05/2020 18:42

I agree in the Megan Draper thing, way back on page 1. It was obviously done completely in the 70’s/early 80’s with a few updates later (like the mosaic tiled wet room shower) as the occupant aged. At 4500sqft and a paved ‘garden’, that’ll cost a fair bit to redo.

Ratherberightthanhappy · 01/05/2020 18:43

They are all like that up there aren’t they?

Kelp23 · 01/05/2020 18:46

@JacobReesMogadishu. I live in Blackpool so hopefully can clear up some points for you.

  1. This house is not in Blackpool. It's in StAnnes. It's on the seafront. That is why the price is £600k. It will get knocked down in my opinion and rebuilt.
  2. Lytham is not next to an airport. I assume you are talking about BAE.
  3. The central tourist areas of Blackpool aren't great. Some other areas of Blackpool are lovely. We have an amazing beach and some excellent parks.
  4. I also watched the documentary you are taking about. It was absolute nonsense. Lots of it were made out to make Blackpool worse than it is. E.g. filming scenes in Blackpool that weren't actually Blackpool ( they were Fleetwood)

Don't believe everything you read/hear or see.

Kelp23 · 01/05/2020 18:47

This is the type of view they have.. I was walking there today

Whooo baby, look at this place on Rightmove!
PolloDePrimavera · 01/05/2020 18:48

@Svalberg um, not sure about that.

cms1972 · 01/05/2020 18:53

Looks like the perfect place for Donald and Melania to stay, next time they are visiting, um, Lytham St Annes.

nb - @Hmpher - you don't like the seaside ??

bemusedmoose · 01/05/2020 19:02

It is a portal back in time!!

Hells bells those carpets and the bathroom... 😲

And the chairs in the main bedroom... Set up like a backstage dressing room but no lights or mirrors.

And 2 pianos - clearly an entertainer.

I have sooo many nosey parker questions!!

And why is one bedroom modern?

Svalberg · 01/05/2020 19:04

@PolloDePrimavera not sure about what?! Wink
