Does anyone else just want to empty out half of all of the contents to see what the rooms are actually like?

It reminds me of my first job in the late 80s in an interior design place, all those swags and tails!!

I know, I haven't seen swags & tails like that for years abs I've never seen them used on the walls before...Halloween Shock

Well you ain’t buying their stuff, past that beautiful location,

That's true abs we've bought homes in the past with the most terrible decoration and furniture because we could see the rooms were lovely, this one is on another level though Halloween Smile

It's a beautiful house.
How odd to see it done up like a dogs dinner in such a stiff old fashioned traditional way.
Get it all out and appreciate the light and views!

BruceAndNosh · 26/10/2021 22:00

Distant views are lovely, but just in front they overlook a camp site and caravan park.
But there's a nice house in there. Somewhere.
Not sure where they actually do any meal preparation since every work surface seems to have a candelabra on it.

The views are amazing, you'd never tire of sitting in the sitting room.

The kitchen looks like a cement wedding cake.

I think it’s funny how most rooms have the one single lamp in the ceiling and the living rooms have like 18 downlights each.

TSSDNCOP · 26/10/2021 22:04

What's the word on coastal erosion around those parts?

Heruka · 26/10/2021 22:04

Dreadful taste in drapes but what a beautiful home.

Holothane · 26/10/2021 22:06

I can see it’s beauty declutter the rooms stunning views love the world atlas on one wall.

No erosion on this side of the river, in fact the beach gets bigger here each year. On the opposite side of the river in fairbourne, well you wouldn't be getting a "forever home" let's say.

Money certainly doesn’t buy good taste!

Certainly doesn't in this case Grin

Wow the views! 😍

What a house.
The decor is not too distracting for me actually. It meets all of my criteria, except it needs to be leeeeetle bit closer to Birmingham

There's a train from Birmingham if that helps? Not sure it would be commutable though...Smile

Its not my taste (at all) but I thought it was going to be way more cluttered

We obviously have different tolerances for clutter, that amount would give me hives Grin

The towels is pic #29 made me laugh for some reason. Gorgeous house.

teaandakitkattodunk · 26/10/2021 23:17

What is the box outside in picture 8?

The bedrooms for example are not over-filled IMO (its just that most of what is in them is not to my taste)

I have relatives that are borderline hoarders - this actually would be quite minimalist compared to their houses!!🤣

EastWestWhosBest · 26/10/2021 23:22

Not to my taste but all the decor seems to be matching and well looked after.
Those curtains must have cost a fortune.

Ellmau · 27/10/2021 00:16

It's a bit busy, especially with all the glassware in the kitchen, but nothing like owning your own taste, and those sea views are amazing.

groovergirl · 27/10/2021 01:52

There are elements of the decor that I really like, such as that groovy red rug that looks straight out of an Austin Powers movie.
Anyway, I'm sick of minimalism. It's so virtuous and dull. As Iris Apfel likes to say, "More is more and less is a bore!"
