How beautiful is this house

It's basically a lovely house, it just needs to have the interior made a bit more attractive and stylish with a good colour palette and richer furnishings. It's a bit strange to have a swimming pool in that neck of the woods, but maybe they're tough!
I see they're hoping to make over £1m profit.

@Naptimenow own it? I've never denied a thing. I don't like their taste. I pointed out in my very first post that I was being slightly tic in my manner of expression rather than sneery but hey ho. I'm glad you're crying with laughter over it all.

This would be more my style of £1M + house, though I'd have no use for the equestrian facilities.

Gorgeous but... the location 😨 and the cleaning 😱

The location is lovely! I know that part of the world very well. It's beautiful. Ramsbottom is nearby for nice shops and restaurants. Manchester not far away for all the culture.

If i was considering downsizing I might look at it

Agree it's not that far from manchester, rammy or bury. Even west yorks at a push. Awful blingy grey decor, also an attempt at farrow and ball (? Hague blue) in the kitchen I think ? No soul, unoriginal, bland and like someone's been looking at insta too much. It's as if they've just trawled the decor pages of the lidl free mag, Dunelm or the Range, at a push Next

I think some of these comments are pretty awful tbh. We’ve had threads commenting on £100k houses which rip apart the taste in decor and they’re often pulled apart / deleted as “not in the spirit”

Why is it ok for rich people to have their tastes pulled apart on a public forum? This is someone’s house and while the grey look isn’t to my taste, it’s their taste and certainly lots of peoples taste. So there is a market for it.

I think if this was a £100k house everyone would be saying how awful it is that someone’s house is put on a forum and then the decor critiqued.

@ShowOfHands for someone with such strong opinions you really don’t like to be questioned do you?😂

Gotta say - hard to fault that. Tasteful without being too bland and stylised, lovely rooms. I like a little more colour, but at least it's not all grey.

Fitters put in a coral-coloured carpet in daughter's room this week and commented it was a lovely change to be fitting one that wasn't grey!

It was the same with beige and terracotta - every dog has its day!

It’s nothing to do with money...there are plenty of rich people whose tastes I admire and whose decor is right up my street! Just happens that this isn’t.

I’m not going to apologise for that.

O it's lovely - and a great place to play Cluedo too. Not sure about the big bath in the garden but that landing with that window! I'd learn to do cartwheels just so I could cartwheel across it every morning.

Did anyone see the house that was incredibly nearly £2 million posted on a thread yesterday?! I know which I'd choose.

I know this house. Its a strange location, surrounded by bog standard houses. Beautiful though.

Mehhh .. inside and out.

@BonnesVacances

I know Helmshore and they did well to take the photos on a sunny day. And yes it's a beautiful house.

100%

Stunning! It's worth the same as my parents' semi in Muswell Hill!! UK property prices are BATSHIT.

@CinnamonJellyBeans

How is it so cheap? What is Rossendale like? I literally cannot imagine anywhere so bad that a house of that size and style would cost so little.

Helmshore is the best location in Rossendale. Its a funny little village, in the valleys, rains all the time. Its a mix of new comers and people whos familys have lived there for generations, can be very insular.

Interior is underwhelming

It's awful, no character, cold and bland. All fur coat and no knickers.

I genuinely don't understand comments like these. No character really? Are you just looking at the furniture? What are you expecting? I get the comments about lack of land and the pool/spa, lack of loos on the second floor but lack of character - is that a piss take?

I've not heard of Muswell Hill so I've just looked it up on Zoopla and there are 1 bed flats that are £100k more expensive than my house (5 bed detached) 🤯 I don't understand why there is such a huge jump in princes between the North and South!

*prices, not princes 🤦‍♀️

@Naptimenow honestly just not my taste, not that hard to understand surely. Mind my idea of heaven would be a cabin in the woods somewhere.

I think all of the ‘cold bland no character’ stuff is pretty surface. At heart it’s a great house which has been ‘tarted up’ inappropriately. I looked at it imagining it full of my own stuff and wood restored and loo installed and hot tub removed. I think it’s a handsome house. (Still needs more land and outbuildings for my real ‘needs’.
