I'm confused by the floorplan but mostly, the bath.

I don’t like the brick they have used for the house, I know I can’t change that but it would put me off buying (not that I can affording)

It's a soulless box with no appeal and that bath is hideous

Totally agree. It looks like someone with no taste at all handed over wads of cash and a Next catalogue and asked someone else to buy a house for them and furnish it over the course of a couple of days. ie. there is no trace of the owner's style, character, history or background.

Reminds me of an airport lounge.

@pennycrayon45

It's very blue...
That was exactly my first thought Grin

These sort of baths have been used for Instagram style water births.

I'd be more concerned as to why a house that's for sale for almost £2million only has 10 photos, mostly of the garden.

I once stayed in an Airbnb in Budapest with a bath in the bedroom exactly like that. I thought it was lovely. I didn’t use but I would have if we had stayed for a bit longer.

I probably wouldn’t buy it for my own house but there’s nothing really wrong with it.

Why is there a utility, a kitchen then a family room with more kitchen, then a kitchen in the attic? How many kitchens do you need in a house that size?

Riverlee · 17/04/2022 19:17

Where are all the photographs? When I looked at it, I thought it was a lot of money for a house with only a kitchen/diner, and a couple of bedrooms. Then I looked at the house plans.

It’s a five bedroom house, with office, sitting room, large kitchen, plus dressing room and sitting room upstairs, plus another office. The estate agent who is selling this house hasn’t done it justice, or what they are not showing in the other rooms. What secrets are this family trying to hide?

They could have cleaned the sofa!

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2022 19:25

It's lovely, I'd probably have a new bath fitted though ( when I win the lottery !)

Lindy2 · 17/04/2022 19:43

I love the house. It looks like a granny annex on the ground floor.

The bath is somewhat unusual. If it's got a jacuzzi in it I imagine it might look quite cool from the side. I'd certainly have to keep the bubbles on full blast to cloud the view if I was in it! 😂

@SiobhanSharpe

I suppose it's just as well it's not raised above the floor too for a truly underwater view.....

@ureterr1blemuriel

I’ve never seen a bath like that in my life! 😬

It’s about 100 meters away from the M1 so good access to the road network!

That would make sense then. The downstairs open plan furnishings look like a relaunch of Newport Pagnell service station in the 1970’s.
IDontHaveAnOutingHobby · 17/04/2022 20:03

Its like a dog hydrotherapy tank

scottishnames · 17/04/2022 20:07

You couldn't pay me to live there.

Herejustforthisone · 17/04/2022 20:19

This has put this in my head.

JellyfishandShells · 17/04/2022 20:37

Strangely mean looking little windows on the front. Says recently built by owners and the layout is certainly not standard.

Absolutely. Boring decor, awful tiny windows. Horrible.
SleepWoof · 17/04/2022 21:04

And the little bed at the foot of the big bed, complete with pillow. For a dog?

The sofa looks like the covers went through the washing machine with a few kleenex tissues

That house is designed for 3 generations who don't like each other's cooking

housemaus · 17/04/2022 21:12

If you had the money to build your own house on a big plot, why would you make it look like an Army barracks!?

Perfectlystill · 17/04/2022 21:26

Hideous house but not keen on the county either

Or someone who likes Jane Eyre re-enactments. A big house for Jane and Mr Rochester, a servant's wing and a self-contained attic for the mad wife.
