Just been browsing rightmove, looks innocuous from the outside.

@equuscaballus it's the sun that have been reading Mumsnet!

You know how they say "styling" is the key to a successful sale? I think they'd have done better to "de-style" that one beforehand!

Bloody awful. I do wonder though if those stuffed animals are from some private collection that the owner has now "acquired".

Wollaton Hall in Notts has a few historical taxidermy pieces as part of the museum inside - but, while horrible, it's like the Natural History Museum in that respect. This house is just foul.

Just no. Yuck.

@Fanthorpe

After a little snoop the owner is connected with the film industry, not famous though.
After a slightly bigger snoop I don’t think the film connection is significant. There are several very anonymously named property companies in the list.

So a zebra died to make that rocking horse?
Sad

Painting in 4 - is that a machine gun? When ds was little one of his pals lived in a rented house and the paintings in the wall were not exactly child friendly - guns and people fleeing. Quite violent and horrible to look at. I’m amazed their kids didn’t have nightmares.

@SerenityNowwwww - did you see the Satan type model on the kitchen island? Page 5

EmpressoftheMundane · 19/07/2020 10:02

I wonder where they are moving to? Las Vegas? Disney World? Hollywood?

And what sort of commerce earned the dosh for all that tat?

SerenityNowwwww · 19/07/2020 10:15

Custard - I’ve seen things like that before (not sure where). I’d be scared it would come alive and murder me in my sleep. I’d need to put a Santa hat on it or something to take the edge off.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 19/07/2020 10:23

Is that model of Anubis?

I love the Stratford Place house , (no mention of parking but there seems to be an enclosed area )
Imagine being so close to Oxford St and the Underground ? Bliss

Divebar · 19/07/2020 10:26

It’s certainly individual- better than anything Kelly Hoppen could come up with.

Thesuzle · 19/07/2020 10:26

Jeez, this is what more money than taste buys you, ! A mirrored four poster bed arrangement, never ever seen that before

Close to oxford st bliss? No it’s not bliss it’s a bloody nightmare (especially on late night shopping days). We lived next to there for a while and it was managing location but always very busy and noisy. Parking is on the street (I don’t thing they have any garages there).
custardbear · 19/07/2020 10:57

Anubis is a dog god, that looks like a cloven hoof animal 😈

crankysaurus · 19/07/2020 11:00

It was already WTF and then I got to the zebra. WTFF.

SerenityNowwwww · 19/07/2020 11:32

Doesn’t everyone have a zebra?

crankysaurus · 19/07/2020 11:58

I think I can't count 18 dead animals, not including the ostrich feathers and possible zebra skin rugs. That's really grim and would put my right off buying it, irrespective of the awful taste otherwise.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 19/07/2020 12:33

Serenity that house has a photo of a parking area , I'd guess you have an allocated parking spot .

And each to their own - I'd love to live there and have no travel worries .

Those huge rural isolated houses leave me cold - I wouldn't want to be responsible to maintain , or be out in the garden a mile from the house wondering who was at the front door !
I lived my teen years in a quiet , country villagey type town, never again.

It's POA so bound to be £££

(They can take Satan with them when they go though Wink )

SatanicDesk · 19/07/2020 12:40

I see a lot of Timothy Oulton furniture in there! I like it - they’ve maybe got a couple too many animals in the hall though.
