Why is it on every dream home I see I dislike one thing?

This is one looks stunning and they’ve done a really good job.

But I think the extension - which makes for amazing views from the inside looking out - looks like they’ve converted a shipping container and bolted it on.

I see what you mean.

The pictures aren't showing for some reason.

So redo the exterior render on the extension? But that house looks like a shipping container anyway. FWIW if you like modern then this house is fab althoigh a flat roof would give me pause.

😂 it does.

But it’s gorgeous. The utility and pantry made me gasp!

AppleKatie · 28/08/2020 18:48

I see what you mean. Still I think I could put up with it 🤣

CormoranStrike · 28/08/2020 18:59

Yeah, I like more about it than I dislike, that’s for sure.

The pantry and kitchen are stunning.

OMG. The views, the pantry. I LOVE it.

Pombearbuffet · 28/08/2020 19:03

What’s going on with the zinc coated pillar in the kitchen island, that would annoy me more.

lalalalaloo · 28/08/2020 19:11

The pillar through the island is really really shit! The amount of money spent and no attempt to disguise what I assume is a supporting beam?

bananamonkey · 28/08/2020 19:14

I’ll have it if you don’t want, I could even live with the pillar Wink

Those views are amazing!

It’s lovely, and it’s next to impossible to find a home that’s perfect. Most buyers have to compromise somehow.

If you’re serious, and I wouldn’t blame as it’s absolutely gorgeous, then think about changing the ‘shipping container’ to a finish more in keeping.

Thecobwebsarewinning · 28/08/2020 20:10

If I bought it I’d probably try and disguise the ‘container‘ with trellis and climbing plants in troughs.
