Absolutely dreadful. Not one thing I like about it, except maybe the views. The rest is just bizarre.

I've been to far more stylish swingers clubs.

Me too. 😂

You’re all too easily charmed by the dog, which the owner definitely uses to get chatting with lone female dog walkers near the creepy tunnel

Wonder who owns the grounds lease. Who you have to go by to make changes to the flat??

Also found the listing on companies house. If you ever need to do detective work that's the place to start. There's several people who are part of the company. All living in the block of flats

Every new fact ups the eww factor. Even seemingly innocuous ones. A house so eww, it's eews everything in its orbit.

It HAS to be a brothel. How can a house look that brothel and NOT be a brothel?

Err when it's not a brothel.More probably an eco godhead sensual exploration space where you can connect to the tantric universe through a sex portal.

I'm going to print that out, laminate it and stock it on my fridge.

Also, why the shot of the tiny study with two desktop screens but one main office chair, then the two small desks with chairs next to it? Either the owner is an international crime overlord who furnishes the business side of his lair from IKEA, or Austin Powers is homeschooling his kids.

🤣

I’m picturing the vendor as being like Jacques from Night Night.

THIS! SPOT-ON!

Upfartooearly · 28/11/2022 20:54

Perhaps the owner is Brian from Hull?

Bit sad to see the kid's drawings and photos on the mantel in pic 61. Since there's only one bedroom, where did the kids sleep?

The pictures make it look like a lodge in the midst of a lovely wooded area, whereas it's actually just a regular house on a normal suburban street:

Google Street View

In Google streetview, you can see pix from previous years, so you can see the house under construction in ... 2012, I think it was.

Leftittothelastminute · 29/11/2022 05:06

I'm in the Bristol area and would normally offer to book a viewing to have a nosey around but I'm scared I'd never make it out alive!!! You can guarantee that the estate agents won't be the ones doing the viewing!!!

How can you see the older views @CanadianJohn

CorporateBull · 29/11/2022 08:40

I can’t see any stains on the sheet but am amused to see the bed is styled with bedside reading of National Geographic featuring an atomic bomb. What could be more relaxing?

It's taken me a while to get my head around this.
Mainly, this is the upstairs flat in a house that is split into two flats, but the house has a garage to the side and the garage belongs to this the top flat.
The element of the property on the ground floor is just the front door and passageway to the stairs up to the main flat, plus the garage. The owner is offering that if desired the garage will be converted into an ensuite bedroom if the purchaser so wishes (does one need planning permission for that? Garage conversions like this are often really badly insulated) so the floorplan shows both the "garage" and "bedroom" options for this bit.
The main flat is on the first floor. It consists of a large bedroom with 2 en-suites and two dressing-areas, plus a lounge, kitchen and tiny dining room (which could optionally be used as a further bedroom if you didn't need a dining room). The large bedroom could optionally be split into two smaller bedrooms each with their own bathroom, so this is illustrated in the floorplan again as a potential different layout.
Above the lounge and kitchen is a glass-pannelled mezzanine walkway giving access to two little loft-spaces under the eaves at the front and back, which are called respectively a "snug" and a "library" - these are small single-bedroom size rooms but don't meet building-regs standards for being called bedrooms because their "fire escape" route is too complicated and can't be fire-protected, so they can't be described or sold as bedrooms.

For comparisson, very nearby there is this 4 bedroom house on the market for only £600,000 and the decor is much less awful. www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/128472803

Yeah I thought it seemed to be implying for all that money you only get the tiny flat but I think a lot of the photos are of the main house perhaps? It’s very hard to decipher

Anyways if we are correct, what a complete and utter rip off

Arewethereyet22 · 29/11/2022 10:05

My god that was enjoyable. The poor estate agent though.

WinterLobelia · 29/11/2022 10:22

I still cannot get through the whole 'owners words' description. I have to peel away to rest my eyes.

I did love the emphasis on the magnificent oak and how the house is lovingly crafted around it. In other words they wanted to chop it down but it had a preservation order on it.

Actual psychologist here. Nor did I. Don't remember ever covering that in training. And I've never ever had the urge to say "Well Mr Smith, it does seem as though your depression is getting worse. Have you thought about introducing more green into your life? It's THE colour for 2022, you know."

That is exactly the vibe it's giving off. Ageing hippy with wispy beard and receding long hair, wearing tie dye, or a goatskin waistcoat with nothing underneath and talking about his amazing out of body, Ayurvedic, sensual experiences in the foothills of the Himalayas in the eighties.

Ay, you see, to me, that sounds at least authentic (not attractive, but authentic Grin). This house feels more forced than that.

I still see a slightly bitter (it's the green), intensely humourless Ben Kingsley figure who is convinced that he's God's gift to the sensual arts (dry heave), who thinks that his yooneek combination of design skills, cosmic sensuality and some other shit means that this brothel house occupies it's own place of meaningful beauty outside societal norms JUST LIKE HE DOES.
