Nothing that a good coat of magnolia wouldn't sort out!

alltoomuchrightnow · 27/03/2021 18:11

Gorgeous
Really, really love this
So much better than all the soulless grey around (I work in soft furnishings by the way..)

Elmo230885 · 27/03/2021 18:12

Its in a nice area, it states Scunthorpe but it's actually not near Scunthorpe itself.

CuddlyDudley71 · 27/03/2021 18:16

Lavanderrose-Exactly my feeling when viewing the pics-actually quite visceral...claustraphobic, which is bizzare considering the size of it...

BlowDryRat · 27/03/2021 18:18

Is it just me or is one of the chandeliers actually inside the better area of the trampoline? You'd better watch where you bounce!

Some of the rooms look a bit empty but I love the quirky bits.

EggysMom · 27/03/2021 18:20

Perfect as a respite home for children with additional needs. Oh to win the lottery ...

CuthbertDibbleandGrubb · 27/03/2021 18:22

Just enough bedrooms for all of Boris Johnson's children!

Babygotblueyes · 27/03/2021 18:24

I love it but can you imagine trying to track down the kids!

It does look like an episode of casualty waiting to happen.

Allegedly.
Inthevirtualwaitingroom · 27/03/2021 18:26

it needs to be bought by someone who would continue to use it as intended.

DrCoconut · 27/03/2021 18:26

It's not really Scunthorpe though! Butterwick is where all the posh folk live 😂. £700,000 is very very expensive for housing round here. My house was recently valued at £65,000 for comparison. Though you do get 17 bedrooms Confused

BoJoHoNo · 27/03/2021 18:27

Not enough bedrooms for me and there's more turf indoors than out. The trampoline placement is sheer genius though, who needs stairs! Grin

BrilliantBetty · 27/03/2021 18:28

Well that trampoline area is an accident waiting to happen!

Lets hope they don't get a stag party.

If i win Tuesday's euromillions im having it. It looks like you could have a right laugh with the place.
RosaLuxemburgwasright · 27/03/2021 18:28

I really like it. If I was up for running a b&b or an Airbnb I'd think it was a great property in lovely surroundings. Some redecorating for sure but I love many parts of it. The big kitchen is gorgeous!

Youngatheart00 · 27/03/2021 18:28

I think it’s really, really creepy tbh!!! 😱

MadMadMadamMim · 27/03/2021 18:30

It's 8 miles out of Scunthorpe, for the snobby ones.

And Scunthorpe's alright.

I'd rather that than what you get for £700,000 in a shitty area of London...

Chooseausernamenow · 27/03/2021 18:31

Absolutely hideous. Looks like a carehome from the outside.

gingerninja99 · 27/03/2021 18:31

This was on a house tv program when they people bought it I'm sure! Guy and his family and he did the kids rooms, I remember him doing the train tracks on the floor

21BumbleBees · 27/03/2021 18:32

@JustAnotherBrick

Given that you only get a 3 bed semi round here for that price, I almost had a serious moment where I thought the two adult DC and partners, DH and I, for less than £250k each, could have 5 or 6 bedrooms for each couple. I don’t think we’d be in danger of getting under each other’s feet! You can barely get a flat round here for 250k.
With a little investment you could turn it into three decent sized self-contained apartments, keeping maybe a communal trampoline area. Your own private housing block!
Coffeepot72 · 27/03/2021 18:34

But would you ever want to live in Scunthorpe??!!

I quite like Scunny too and feel defensive when I see it getting slagged off. Its a small town with a good community feel and very friendly.

No, in a word.
