I know this comes up a lot but I'm in the middle of searching for a new house and finding it so boring. Please cheer me up with any crazy rightmove finds to break up the scrolling through beige pictures... Nothing has ever beaten this one for me:

WOW! Imagine the constant smell of chlorine!

ChickenGotLegs · 30/06/2022 13:03

Money can't buy taste!

Is that a real person hanging from the ceiling, I can't quite decide 😄

Thelnebriati · 30/06/2022 13:13

We should have all chipped in to buy that and run it as a Mumsnet spa.

Apparently it has an 'ozone system' so no chlorine.

By 'Rightmove Gems' you mean 'lets all sit here and laugh at other peoples taste/furnioture/decor' no?

I always find these threads distasteful. Maybe if the people who start them posted their homes first...

Misstes · 30/06/2022 13:20

A bit to much wood for me but apart from that is great. Imagine being a kid with the pirate bed and a pirate in the rafters. Amazing!

Oh come now. Life is too short to feel guilty about giggling at a life-size pirate swinging from the ceiling, a cannon, and a four-poster bed flanked by semi-nude statues.

I think there is a typo on the price of this one…

I would happily live there, complete with the pirate.

Disappointingly it's been removed but you get the idea! www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/124400402#/?channel=RES_BUY

That is an absolute bargain

emmathedilemma · 30/06/2022 13:44

The amount of different marble effects in this one would drive me mad. Not to mention the french doors in the kitchen looking straight out onto the side of the garage! www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/120584081#/?channel=RES_BUY

Did you not pick up on the union jack theme? Maybe the whole Rangers FC thing doesn't mean much if you're not from the central belt of Scotland! I'm surprised there isn't a flute out somewhere!

The Rangers FC means nothing to me - I just thought it was all a bit "Britain First"!

Monthly repayments £1.8 million. 😂

I wonder what price it’s supposed to be? It needs a hell of a lot of work.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 30/06/2022 14:10

That was Felix Dennis' (the publisher) house. He died in 2014.

There are loads of pictures of it on the Internet (the agent has removed the rightmove link)

Even if you removed a zero its still outrageous - £450k for a run down terrace in Folkestone?! Have you ever been to Folkestone? OMFG

Slippery.

I want that house with the pool & the pirate. How cool 😎

Wonder if Jack the Pirate is included in the sale?

Inthefirepit · 30/06/2022 14:31

I fucking love this house!!!

Which of you bought this one? I gather I'm too late.

There's so much marble it's basically a fancy ice rink.

coffeecupsandfairylights · 30/06/2022 17:59

The house in the OP is amazing! I would live there in a heartbeat Grin
