Another Rightmove one

[ReallyBloodyAnnoying]

We had those dining chairs when I was a kid in the 70s ❤️

MFI I would guess!

I haven't noticed nasty comments. Unless saying it reminds you of grandparents' houses is nasty. I think for most people it has brought back fond memories.

It’s beautifully maintained and I bet the garden was amazing!

What happened to Barometers, lots of houses used to have them?

It looks like a home. Lived in for many years probably by people who were proud of their own little house. It looks full of loneliness and doesn’t deserve to be mocked.

My MIL'S house has an original 1920's wall cupboard and a pulley airer. I imagine they will be ripped out by any new owner.

@NotExactlyHappyToHelp

I didn’t take the tone of this thread as mocking. I thought it was more a nice nostalgia kind of thing. Maybe I’m wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is how I read this thread too. And that living room carpet is glorious, I love it.

OP, ignore the grumps.

Yes she has a barometer in the house too.

No one is mocking, absolutely no one.

@Looksabitbig

We're laughing at other people's houses now, especially ones where the owner is likely to have died?

Nope, we're definitely not. Have you read a single post on this thread?!?!

My mum has a barometer and I have flying birds. They were my Grans and are pheasants.
I'm baffled by some of these posts some people need to fuck off and be offended somewhere else, this thread isn't mocking in any way.

My Grandparents had one in the porch, next to the tomato plants, I used to love tapping it to see if it would move

it feels reassuringly comfortable....a proper grandparent home

@Chloemol can you say which comments are nasty? Anyone being nasty about this I can imagine would be classed as 'not in the spirit and MNHQ will delete but I can't see any myself.

I hope that whoever owned the house had a lovely life in it and whoever is selling it has lovely memories from the house.

It’s so weird that so many posters are offended by this thread. I haven’t read a single post which is negative about the house. Lots of positive ones.
I love the house and the sitting room carpet is amazing! I wish carpets like that were still available. I’ve just recently moved into a house which had belonged to same person for many many decades. We are keeping as much of the original stuff as possible

@Hen2018

Oh, I see it is supposed to be funny. I’ve just spent 3 months clearing my relations’s house out after her death.

The houses of older people aren’t always full of modern things. Let’s take the piss out of a clean, tidy and quite pleasant house.

@Hen2018 so sorry for your loss 💐

Those photos are so nostalgic of happy times at my Grandparents’ house. I feel almost emotional seeing some of those things.

@AdditionalCharacter

Houses like this make me feel quite sad that they lived with such old furniture/carpets. Makes me wonder if they chose to live like that or if they couldn't afford to upgrade.

Modern trendy items are not inherently superior to old ones. The home is clean and none of its fittings look dilapidated or disfunctional. If everyone kept stuff till it wore out we wouldn't be facing an environmental crisis. I can guarantee you that today's modern upgrade is tomorrow's sad relic of a dying fad. I like the vintage look anyway.

I love this house and if I bought it I wouldn’t really change it. It’s got such a good vibe, it’s so well loved.

Lovely bungalow, really like this! I wish I could check out the china in the cabinet - I'd wager it'll all be made in Stoke-on-Trent and be beautiful and hard-wearing.

What a horrible thread 💔

I felt sad looking at this.

Lighten up people! The op didn't make fun of the house at all. A heart emoji about the chairs - what's mean about that?

What's wrong with "old" furniture? Most of mine is antique! I'm sure they were perfectly happy with their decor, and would laugh at you being "sad" about it. The house looks loved and clean and tidy to me. You sound judgemental and shallow.

There are some fabulous pieces in the house, and it looks unbelievably well maintained. It would be wonderful if it was bought by someone with a passion of the era who would retain the kitchen etc while also bringing it up to date and adding their own style.

You missed this one then.... Houses like this make me feel quite sad that they lived with such old furniture/carpets. Makes me wonder if they chose to live like that or if they couldn't afford to upgrade.
