What’s with the shoes??!
And why the steps to go to the toilet?

Because a king must ascend to his throne, obviously!

The bar across the stairs confuses me though

TeddyBeans · 13/02/2021 21:55

Nevermind, just worked out it's a corner staircase that's not in a corner 🤦‍♀️

Foggyday124 · 13/02/2021 21:58

Fancy!

That house typifies the absurdity of london prices. Ok it's substantial and has a lot of bedrooms but the inside is so very average. There was nothing of the remotest interest inside. £1.7m?! Insane.

Foggyday124 · 13/02/2021 22:10

Totally! For that price I would expect beautiful views over iconic monuments !

I think it's a mirror, but in photo 14 it looks like there is a toilet and a shadow toilet for the goth who needs a dark place to poop with their dark thoughts....

This

Also how many trainers does a person need?

DrunkBetch · 13/02/2021 23:28

That toilet is so bloody weird! I'm not sure I could bring myself to use it. I would feel like I was on display 😂

BunnyRuddington · 13/02/2021 23:34

I actually cannot believe that someone would pay such a high price for a semi.

Solo · 13/02/2021 23:52

Looking at the bedrooms, shoes, photographs, etc, I wouldn't mind betting that it belongs to a sports personality.

SaltyTootsieToes · 14/02/2021 00:09

The toilet wasn’t my main curiosity but rather wondering if it were some type of odd shoe store featuring men’s trainers. You know, a bit like the old Reigate Jack Wills shop.

I know what you mean! The cars in the driveway I know I'm stereotyping there

I wonder if that Chelsea scarf is a clue

Lockdownbear · 14/02/2021 00:39

The trainers, there's hardly a pair of dress shoes or boots it's all trainers.

Crazy money, but I think it could be a footballer's place. Its definitely like a game of 'through the keyhole' remember that?

Lockdownbear · 14/02/2021 00:44

Looking at the floor plan the toilet is over the bulkhead of the stairs on the attic floor.

uggmum · 14/02/2021 00:55

How can someone own so many pairs of trainers.

I am amazed by that

TheUnquestionedAnswer · 14/02/2021 00:56

Surprised they haven't blurred out the photos of the kids

It doesn't look like a house with young children in it. The bedrooms look like teenagers rooms. I'm guessing the kids don't look anything like what they used to.
Norabuzz · 14/02/2021 01:28

The price is ambitious but I know that area well. It's a great street and that's a lovely big garden for zone 2 London.

LadyEloise · 14/02/2021 02:07

That is some tap in the kitchen!!!

HouseyHouse21 · 14/02/2021 02:17

Yep, that's London prices for you. It's large but really 5 bedrooms with a box room that's too small to label on the floorplan. Also there's only one proper bathroom upstairs, I'd want another. And I don't care for the kitchen layout. I'll be interested to see how much it ends up going for...

MrsEricBana · 14/02/2021 02:29

What's with the trainer focused decor?

yearoftheplagues · 14/02/2021 02:37

With all those trainers I'd hazard a guess at it being Romesh ranganathan's house.

cerealgamechanger · 14/02/2021 02:43

Imagine the stench from all those trainers in the hot weather 🤮🤮🤮 also, no way will it achieve the price it's listed at- the area is terrible.

FossilisedFanny · 14/02/2021 02:49

There’s a photo in the hallway maybe of the people that live there

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 14/02/2021 02:59

That is quite the trainer collection. I’m guessing the doors in the bedrooms are built in closets? Or the owners are nudists with a shoe fetish, wtf do they keep their clothes??

I hope that’s an outdoor couch set with snow on it. Do like the wood floors mind.
