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:

I’m sure that first one is styled on the Explorer’s hotel we once stayed in at EuroDisney!

This is a fascinating house but I wouldn't want to have a bath in there:

We’re around 10 miles away from this house in the West Midlands, in a former coal mining area, and even thinking back 28 years to when we bought our first house we had to have a coal mining survey done so that we didn’t end up in this situation.

Apart from the Decor which can be changed this house is a bargain price (imo)
Its huge and so is the garden .
I just realised its Zoopla but thought I would share due to said Decor

This one. It's like a 1980s time capsule. Scroll for the gym room!

The random tiles in the kitchen!

Show quote history

Apart from the hideous glass bannister/landing a lot of this amazing.
BUT. In such a large house, why is the TV on the slant? Like microwaves on the slant it screams no space. And that shower cubicle.

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

Omg that's my aunties old street before she moved!! Thought for a moment it was her home haha

RightOnTheEdge · 01/07/2022 00:24

I love the pirate House! It would be such a cool place for kids to live

CheeseandBeetrootSandwiches · 01/07/2022 00:25

The only one I've hated is the Edgehill one. It's beyond hope.

The Peterhead one needs a decent builder to upgrade it, that's all.

The one in Bangor has dangerous stairs. Otherwise I'd put up with it whilst I hot them sorted (and hired a decent interior designer)

All the others are also livable. The just need redecorating and repainting. And I would chuck out all the furniture.

Found this, a "doer upper" in Catford, about three miles from me. www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/124095467

There was one on here a good while ago on another thread, a house that was fifty shades of purple!
Everything from walls to floor coverings to furniture was purple, lilac, mauve etc.
It was mind boggling.

CheeseandBeetrootSandwiches · 01/07/2022 00:34

Found this near where my parents live www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/122963195

Getting swingers club vibes off the first one

LegInLegOut · 01/07/2022 00:45

@ArrrMeHearties That's the one. I'm surprised the garden wasn't full of lavender to complete the purple look 😂

It would of been the dyed purple cherry on top of the very purple cake 😂😂
