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:

The first one (Felix Dennis house) the main bedroom and bathroom are quite disappointing.

Not Rightmove but this is a gem. www.news.com.au/finance/real-estate/adelaide-apartment-with-glass-bathroom-in-the-kitchen-listed-for-400-per-week/news-story/2c58a91ad0f38b37331f5c56252ee1e1?amp

More like something you’d expect to find in London than Adelaide, Australia!

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.

''THIS PROPERTY HAS A MINESHAFT

This property briefly comprises of an entrance porch, lounge diner, newly fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and an upstairs modern shower room.'

Presumably it's why it only 'briefly comprises of...' because it's soon going to disappear down the mineshaft!'

The marble house was listed on Boxing Day, presumably to catch all those 'I bloody hate all of you and wish I could go and live in an empty silent palace with zero Play Stations, puking cockapoos or in-laws' potential buyers. If Santa had brought them £2m in cash.

Monkeybutt1 · 01/07/2022 13:30

House in OP has been removed. It looks like Peter Pan's house!

Beautiful room with the swimming pool but I just think how impractical those rugs and sofas must be.

darisdet · 01/07/2022 13:39

That marble house is impressive @Monkeybutt1 but the softplay (!) would have to go.

emmathedilemma · 01/07/2022 13:51

oh come on, it's nothing that a coat of paint won't solve!! 😆 I'm slightly envious because that style of house sells for over £400k in need of modernisation near me

Oh but you would always be able to host your toddlers parties!

darisdet · 01/07/2022 13:56

The £95,000 house 😦 could look very nice all renovated!

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)

There was a blue plaque on the corner of the bar.

i thought the house was nice but absolutely stunning from the outside.

I wonder why they removed the listing.

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

See I love that (including the murder bath) but is that a picture of Tony Blair over the fireplace

listsandbudgets · 01/07/2022 14:25

This is beautiful but I certainly wouldn't want to be the cleaner It's so white and pristine every mark must show

Beautiful house though

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

www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/60878624/?search_identifier=a944d6093759784511fe9fc646d8a0ca

Bargain price but its in Boston! lol

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

One thing I love about looking at houses like this is how immaculate and well cared for everything is. I know it would have been spruced up for photos but someone clearly took huge pride in creating that home.

Blowthemandown · 01/07/2022 15:00

@TandyHop how dare you diss my house 🤬

(not really haha) 🤣

I love it, including the bath.

That's the most amazing place I've seen in, oh, like, ever!
