Just been browsing rightmove, looks innocuous from the outside.

I admit, if I had the money to buy the house OP found, I'd buy this instead

The rocking zebra in the girls bedroom is massive!
I feel like I’ve seen it on tv somewhere before

@GlendaBee

It is like this one near me: www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-71642478.html

Wonder if this is their city pad? 🤣

Judging by all the en-suites, that’s a b&b, isn’t it?
LivingDeadGirlUK · 18/07/2020 17:21

Is 'Through the keyhole' still a thing? Then need to bring it back at least once by the look of it, just so I can hear Lloyd whatshisface say rocking zebra.

The cars in the bubbles are worth more than the house, there is a ferrari, a blower Bentley and a monteverdi or a lamboghini

BilboBercow · 18/07/2020 17:28

I mean presumably they'd be taking the mad stuffed animal shit with them? Most of the non-removable decor is pretty normal

WingingItSince1973 · 18/07/2020 17:33

Just goes to show you can't buy taste 😬

VenusTiger · 18/07/2020 17:49

FFS! I'm an animal lover OP - wish I hadn't clicked on that wild-animal-death-zoo!

user327253 · 18/07/2020 18:03

I desperately want to have a go on the zebra rocking horse, not gonna lie. I bet whoever owns it throws amazing parties.

JacobReesMogadishu · 18/07/2020 18:29

Just showed Dd......she thought the feathers (¿) hanging down from the lights in the living room were dead 🦥 sloths! 😂

There should be a comedy act called Nigel Garage.

Get rid of the cars and the taxidermy and id live there Smile

Clawdy · 18/07/2020 18:38

Can we have a few clues about the owner without mentioning names??

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 18/07/2020 18:40

This thread will be deleted if people give clues to the owner's name.

The PP found it quite easily with a little search online. I think it's fair to say that the person isn't a well-known household name anyway.

Gotta be one of Rik Mayall's alter-egos!

Sure you haven't been reading the sun?

Looks like the Sun picked the thread up from here as the article quotes some of the posters on here.

Jillhaspeakyponies · 18/07/2020 19:30

Omg I just googled the zebra rocking horse £26k!

Is Dr Dolittle selling up? Or...er...Noah?Confused

Jillhaspeakyponies · 18/07/2020 19:32

The feather lights came from here as well I think

There are unicorns!

@Gingernaut

Each car gets its own bubble wrap bubble???
The cars according to dh are worth millions, he was more interested in that picture than anything else!

@TheThreeHeadedBeast
You can not begin to imagine how much pleasure your thread has given me and my family.
Please, please do nothing else this weekend, keep searching for these gems, and keep up your excellent work.Thank you Flowers

ListeningQuietly · 18/07/2020 21:24

My post about the owners income is still upthread.
His name can very easily be found.
He is English.
He just has a very very strange taste in home furnishing.

Viviennemary · 18/07/2020 21:31

The pink castle linked in the sun article is lovely only £1.5 m. A bargain. I want it.
