Just been browsing rightmove, looks innocuous from the outside.

I like quirk and kitsch so there's a lot of aspects of that I would happily embrace...there's way too much of everything though.

Wow, the video tour is shocking.

If you look at the historical house prices you can see pictures of what it looked like when it was sold in 2015 for 3,225,000

Maybe someone won the lottery. And now follows what seems like the inevitable divorce.

RowboatsinDisguise · 18/07/2020 12:37

Why is the kitchen so small?!

ginghamtablecloths · 18/07/2020 12:37

Oh dear.

anon444877 · 18/07/2020 12:38

I suppose if you’re that rich you have staff to cook, is a lovely kitchen a middle class dream?

custardbear · 18/07/2020 12:40

I thought the light shades were giant tarantulas too!

I'm
Wondering if the owner is one of those arseholes you see ok Facebook, proud they've just killed wild animals?

CurtainWitcher · 18/07/2020 12:40

Kill a kangaroo and put a bottle of champagne in her pouch.
What an utter arsehole the owner is.

Wecandothis99 · 18/07/2020 12:42

Ah I hope the owner doesn't see this thread. How cruel

CarrieMoonbeams · 18/07/2020 12:42

I absolutely love it! Apart from the taxidermy, which is very sad (if it's real), but every room had so much interesting stuff to look at that I couldn't stop smiling! I'd love to have a proper wander round there.

Fanthorpe · 18/07/2020 12:43

Hertingfordbury sounds like a made up place name.
I think those lights are ostrich feathers?

The definition of each to their own!

Fanthorpe · 18/07/2020 12:44

That unicorn is 100% real

Puzzledandpissedoff · 18/07/2020 12:45

Just watched the video - I don't know what the elephant with the vivid blue ears is about, but I've seen things like that in nightmares

Loving the tiger though ...

Why is the kitchen so small?!
Maybe it's just for show.
TreacherousPissFlap · 18/07/2020 12:45

@IPityThePontipines

What a cracker. Starts off reasonably, but by photo four has completely gone off the rails.
Posts like this set a high bar. In this case however, completely justified Grin

We are house hunting at the moment and DH and I have a saved list. I’ve just added this one.......... be interesting to see his comment. I have put on the saved notes that I’ve kept it for the interiors as it’s stunning. I’ve kept a few over budget for the interiors or garden ideas. He will think I’ve lost the plot. Again.

MintyCedric · 18/07/2020 12:46

I'm a bit mystified that anyone would spend so much money on the house and content but keep that kitchen and all the similar wood (effect?) units elsewhere.

They're nice enough but don't really work with the rest of the aesthetic.

elliejjtiny · 18/07/2020 12:46

It brings the phrase "each to their own" to a whole new level.

Mummyoflittledragon · 18/07/2020 12:50

I take it this person is a trophy hunter. I want to know if the person in the motorbike is real and one of the owner’s spoils.

OhCaptain · 18/07/2020 12:54

That has to be a footballer's house!

Fanthorpe · 18/07/2020 12:56

I don’t think the person is married, but I think they’ve got a child that stays. Someone connected with motorsport? They don’t eat at home much.

Like a child’s idea of a great place to live, with imaginary friends everywhere.

TheRealHousewife · 18/07/2020 12:57

That one broke MunsNet @TheThreeHeadedBeast ... I looked at listing & video but unable to find the tarantulas hung from the ceiling.

Can’t go back yet for another look as my eyeballs are rinsing in the sink 👀

SmudgeButt · 18/07/2020 12:57

Not very pc but is the owner a gay taxidermist?

custardbear · 18/07/2020 13:00

What is that to the left of the front door, end of pathway? Have they killed and stuffed a person too 😬
