The skeleton had sold it to me. So wish I have 1.6 mil available so could put an offer on.
The decor is so worth keeping. Nothing like a bit of quirky essentricity.

libraryghost bloody hell. I’d keep the grounds (none of the hard stuff/fencing/gates/sheds and not the mossy tennis court) and the swimming pool. And transplant that away from that house. It as bad outside as in.

Libraryghost · 21/03/2021 18:03

@Wondermule they would need to pay me 5 million to live in that house. It’s just hideous. There must be a millionaire version of B&M shop where rich tatsteless people buy their shite.

Which reminds me, I need to ask DM to take a picture of the grand piano if the opportunity ever arises as I’ve never been able to get my head around how the fuck it stays up there.

Meh. I can't get excited. Not my taste, but not harming anyone.

However the dark piss stains around the bottom of the loo would put me off massively.

I love this house even more! I must have terrible taste Shock

MiddleClassMother · 21/03/2021 18:04

Creepy... I could happily do it up and live here, wouldn't even have to move that far!

Libraryghost · 21/03/2021 18:07

@HeronLanyon so deceiving from the outside but I am guessing that it has been been built on the cheap. It’s probably all filler and foam. That entrance though,.. it’s enough to make you want to rip your own eyes out.

BoJoHoNo · 21/03/2021 18:07

Once you take out the quirky trinkets, the bare bones of the house isn't actually all that gaudy. I'd definitely remove the carpet from the bathroom and the chandeliers. I don't think the kitchen is that nice but could live with it if I had to. It's a shame there's no real photos/detailed description of the gardens. If it has a decent amount of land it probably isn't that overpriced for the area (decent schools catchment). You're looking at 500k for bog standard detatched 4 bed with small garden in Alwoodley. There's definitely much nicer houses for much less money in Leeds though!

FrancesHaHa · 21/03/2021 18:07

The owners are clearly not dr who fans - I'd be scared those weeping angels would get me in the bath.

AliceMcK · 21/03/2021 18:07

It’s Del Boys house, even the dolls behind the bar 😂😂😂😂

Yapplepearora · 21/03/2021 18:09

@Libraryghost

That’s grim even without the horrendous decor. That building has the character of a stale piece of bread. And why does the kitchen look the same as my council house kitchen? Grin

HeronLanyon · 21/03/2021 18:10

library yes first photo I thought that looks like a wedding cake and then a false front or photo montage mock up. It just doesn’t have any heft about it - on top of being god awful ugly.

AndeanMountainCat · 21/03/2021 18:10

It’s got an orgasmstron!!!1!

AndeanMountainCat · 21/03/2021 18:10

Orgasmatron I mean.

My god. Lol. What a horror. It’s the neoclassical furnishings mixed with the cheap new build mansion interior. That tiny window in the kitchen. All those sofas spread around everywhere, like the tacky sofa section in DFS when the kids run off to to play on the recliners.

Yapplepearora · 21/03/2021 18:11

Actually, the kitchen that reminded me of my kitchen was the outhouse bungalow kitchen. The main one still looks shit though

ineedaholidaynow · 21/03/2021 18:11

What is it about houses with mannequins?

Yapplepearora · 21/03/2021 18:12

Here’s an interesting 6 million house near me

Not as horrendous as the others though

There’s lot of houses like this near where I am. All owned by ex-travellers who now own massive caravan parks.
