@Chicchicchicchiclana Wow. That townhouse! It is perfect. Just a few mil over budget Blush

LycraLovingLass · 23/06/2020 23:32

Its very floral isnt it. I would gave to redecorate it all. Not sure if I love it or hate it to be honest. There is certainly a lot of it.

felineflutter · 23/06/2020 23:34

Lovely space but horrible decor, especially the fake ( I hope) antlers above the fireplace. Where are the books? V tasteless!

What's wrong with antlers? Don't deer shed them? It's not like a rhino horn.

felineflutter · 23/06/2020 23:35

But no not keen on the house. It is a bit ubiquitous and we have seen this look a million times now.

Louise91417 · 23/06/2020 23:37

Like the garden...no to the house...you would need a vomit bag at hand with that decorConfused

Defenbaker · 23/06/2020 23:38

Wow, that certainly has a lot going for it. Not keen on the kitchen, and some of the wallpaper choices are not to my taste, but the rooms are all massive, you'd never feel cramped there (envious). It seems more like a fabulous exclusive hotel than somebody's actual home. Talk about how the other half (more like 1%) live.

@Pellewsmate

Forget the house, I'll take the car.
Me too Grin

That wallpaper... I actually like the wallpaper - it's lovely, but the patterns are a bit oversized, it makes the interior almost feel like a doll's house in a way.

Looks like a great house to host a big party.

Itscoldouthere · 23/06/2020 23:44

Too much wallpaper....

alwayscrashinginthesamecar1 · 23/06/2020 23:44

I like colour and wallpaper (my kitchen is purple) but that is just too much! And the pool is far too small for that space, why on earth didn't they get a bigger one, I'm sure they could have afforded it. I like the Hammersmith house, though I don't think I'd pay that money to live in Hammersmith, on the Thames or not! Although IIRC there's a very nice pub nearby. Grin

File that under “money can’t buy you class”
Or taste.
Fuck me if I had £5m to spend on a house I would’t live in that

RB68 · 23/06/2020 23:48

I like the house but not all of the wall paper but thats easy to change. I would never know where to lounge on the sofa though there are so many

AreYouLocal2 · 23/06/2020 23:57

Big houses are nice, however the reality is you have more to clean.

Ludways · 23/06/2020 23:59

First thing I'd buy for that house is a wallpaper stripper.

TimeWastingButFun · 24/06/2020 00:00

It's not my taste but there are some lovely parts to it. Interesting wallpaper though! I hate indoor swimming pools, oddly. It was one of the dealbreakers of one house we looked at a few years ago. They're creepy...

Atthebottomofthegarden · 24/06/2020 00:07

I love Gertie’s Devon offering!

The one in the OP - I think I could live with some of the wallpapers, but most would have to go. I particularly like the blue and white one. It really has been interior designed to death. Very beautiful house though.

Paperthin · 24/06/2020 00:11

More seats than you can shake a stick at 😀

CtrlU · 24/06/2020 00:13

The decor is too much and clashes. But the house itself is lovely.

DameXanaduBramble · 24/06/2020 00:17

Laura Ashley explosion. Not to my taste and it hasn’t got a ‘Saturday feel Kitchen’ The standard every house dh and i look at must have one or it’s immediately dismissed.

MorrisZapp · 24/06/2020 00:19

That's the prettiest house I've ever seen on here. Love it, the wallpaper makes my heart sing!

LimitIsUp · 24/06/2020 01:14

The decor is hideous

Tillygetsit · 24/06/2020 01:35

Yikes that wallpaper!

LoseLooseLucy · 24/06/2020 01:51

It's decorated like a doll's house 😬

managedmis · 24/06/2020 01:57

Oh god no

NoShitHemlock · 24/06/2020 02:03

5 million quid to buy it, then another 5 million quid to fill the bugger with sofas.....

Wonder if DFS has a sale on Hmm
