It looks very…clean. Not quite to my taste, but surprised it’s only £2000000 when compared to that horrible thing in London on a thread the other day.

@MissM2912

Lovely but why would you put in PVC windows in a period house at £2 million 🙈
All of the finishing are cheap including the bathrooms
BruceAndNosh · 05/09/2021 00:06

I'd have to spend an extra half million on ballgowns for sashaying down that staircase

CurlyhairedAssassin · 05/09/2021 00:13

Ooh no, you can’t see an intruder coming up the stairs when you’re on the upstairs balcony. I’d want a panic room and all sorts of security.Grin

Gorgeous, but sooo creepy

HeronLanyon · 05/09/2021 00:15

Hang on - only an acre of land and other than garage no outbuildings and pretty built up. Hmm bit naff/flash is my second view - really don’t like the staircases all painted white. Huge amount
Of softening landscaping needed and not enough outside for the money.

Thewiseoneincognito · 05/09/2021 00:20

Hahahaha 2 million for Rossendale 😂

it’s a basic pseudo riche northern village/town packed full of dodgy property developers who create these ghastly houses. Awful.

Councilworker · 05/09/2021 00:22

Bought it for under £1million in 2017. Spent money on weird light fittings and knocked down some internal walls and painted all the wood white.

Now on the market at double the price they paid. There's definitely not been that much of an increase in the market here and definitely not £1million in "improvements"

MissM2912 · 05/09/2021 00:27

I think it was nicer before in many ways.

Frazzledd · 05/09/2021 00:28

@Councilworker nice bit of background checking there, impressive!

HeronLanyon · 05/09/2021 00:32

Thanks for the before. I too prefer the before - they’ve ‘bleached it’.

Tooembarrassingtomention · 05/09/2021 00:33

They haven’t changed the bathroom fittings
It was much nicer before
It would cost a fortune to restore all that wood

Tooembarrassingtomention · 05/09/2021 00:34

It had an acre then, wonder if they have split the plot

myrtleWilson · 05/09/2021 00:34

I always think those expansive hallways are such dead space - who is going to sit in either of those two chairs facing the fireplace. We looked at a new build which had a similar overly large entrance hall/space and it just reminded me of an airport lounge

Unsure1983 · 05/09/2021 00:38

Too big.
Very pretty terrace. Could do with a roof.
Dislike the decor except black bathroom and green living room. Beige hell.

Chloemol · 05/09/2021 00:39

Nope not for me, no bathrooms on the second floor!

Unsure1983 · 05/09/2021 00:40

Agree infinitely better previosly except bathrooms.

Boredhimtodeath · 05/09/2021 00:40

I prefer the after style

HeronLanyon · 05/09/2021 00:43

A re then and now. Guessing land sold off previously. Would want 5-10 acres and good outbuildings.

PyongyangKipperbang · 05/09/2021 00:45

Beautiful house completely ruined with Insta Grey

Haven’t they just painted the baths?

There are lots of spare rooms in the basement to turn into panic rooms. You’d have to be pretty nifty on your feet though to get down there if you were on the top floor. Maybe a panic room on every floor is the answer!

The window on the staircase is stunning.

LavenderAskew · 05/09/2021 00:49

Don't know much about camera lens, but all the pictures things seem long and barrow, like they gave been stretched.

The yellow couch looks mad Long!

idontlikealdi · 05/09/2021 00:57

It's my house. Glad you like it.

AmelieLovesAutumn · 05/09/2021 00:58

@tunnocksreturns2019

I'm with you in the castle!!
