The only way to get £800k for this is to burn it to the ground and make a claim on the insurance.

I bet there are hidden cameras all over the place.

Dear Owner, you have poured so much love and personal taste into this home it is now extremely unappealing to most buyers. We see it as a money pit & headache to return it to a more conventional state.

Why are there so many bathrooms?!

BarbaraofSeville · 28/11/2022 08:42

Got bored after about 50 pictures, but I'm glad someone else thought the pedestal under the sink in picture 44 was a stack of supersized bog rolls.

I'd be quite concerned that the giant stone slab above the bath in pic 5 was going to fall or indeed be lowered by an unseen being to be trapped forever in a watery tomb.

For a £500 a day in today's money German trained craftsman, the finish of some of the wooden stuff is surprisingly poor, as per the close ups in pics 23 and 32.

ZeroFuchsGiven · 28/11/2022 08:42

Can anyone explain pic number 65? Is it a glass hearth or floating coffee table? I really cant work out wtf is going on.

Herejustforthisone · 28/11/2022 08:43

Who the fuck took those photos? They look like stills from footage recorded on a 1990s camcorder.

"This property is a testament to human genius creativity and a celebration to the incredible natural materials of divine mother earth,"

....so they used plastic grass outside Grin

Suffrajitsu · 28/11/2022 08:45

Sadly I don't think I would be allowed a viewing. I don't fit within their desired demographic of "unique and special individuals who appreciate creative celebration, God, culture oneness and uniqueness".

Eco sex cult guru does well and is moving up to a countryside mansion for a growing harem of green goddesses.

I don't think I've ever felt sorry for an estate agent before but I do sympathise with this one who has clearly washed their hands of the owner and just uploaded all 124 photos (I couldn't get to the end) and extravagant blurb.

To add to the estate agent's misery, their hopes will rise as anyone reading this thread who has time books a viewing to see the reality only to fall dramatically as there are no ensuing offers.

Well done priamfarrl for finding this! As other posters have said, why are the owners selling? I do hope they're not buying somewhere else to transform.

TinyChancer · 28/11/2022 08:49

I'd buy the dog. Is the dog for sale?

Moraxella · 28/11/2022 08:50

@TinyChancer i bet that poor dog has seen some things

Frequency · 28/11/2022 08:52

It might appeal as an air b n b type place for insta celebs who want interesting pics for their profile. Otherwise, it needs bulldozing.

My guess is it is owned by a reality/youtube/insta celeb.

You neglected to mention the volume of photographs on the site to sell this 'gem'.

Fucking hell!!!!!!!

If you need more than 25 photographs, you're entering the twilight zone!!!

Suffrajitsu · 28/11/2022 08:53

I like "This is, an incredible once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a property that could never be financially or logistically built again". They should have added "and fortunately no-one else is bonkers enough to try".

sashh · 28/11/2022 08:54

The dog looks happy

LookItsMeAgain · 28/11/2022 08:54

Photo #18 - what the actual???

Dear Owner, you have poured so much love and personal taste into this home it is now extremely unappealing to most buyers. We see it as a money pit & headache to return it to a more conventional state.

It's like Grand Designs meets that programme that Sarah Beeny used to do where they spend the whole development phase ignoring her advice to think about the target market for the property they were developing and to just go for a good quality neutral finish to appeal to a wide range of buyers who could add their own stamp.

They'd spend a fortune on niche furnishings and decorations, rope in a load of free labour from the friends but make a good profit, which due to rampant property inflation in the early 2000s, they would have made anyway if they'd have painted the whole property off white, and installed a kitchen, bathroom and laminate flooring from Ikea. Or indeed done nothing and hung onto it for a year or two.

Maybe the current owner knows that the wacky property and even more wacky description will cause the listing to go viral and once it's been seen by millions, there's bound to be someone amongst them who's planning to spend £800k on a very unique property in Bristol?

But just to be clear, picture 117 (just found the gallery option where you can scroll through quickly) of the shack that looks like the witch's cottage from Hansel and Gretel isn't the house that's for sale? Or is it?

SavouryFlavour · 28/11/2022 08:58

All of the photos look like they've been taken from

A. The corpse's view
B. The hidden cameras
C. The subsequent police report

And why start with a photo that seems to be of the ventilation pipe? Unless that's a clue to the reformed criminal as to where the stash is hidden.

VacancyAtNumber10AGAIN · 28/11/2022 08:58

i can literally picture the owner in my head
white linen clothes
shark tooth/wooden tribe pendant necklace
”found himself travelling”
constantly tells people how connected to nature/the universe he is
only consumes weed and psychedelics
has made a fortune by life coaching

splatfrog · 28/11/2022 09:01

There is a man in one of the pics, no one's mentioned it. Could he be the owner? He's in the distance on one of the country path pics.

Gastonia · 28/11/2022 09:01

If it's one of those DIY estate agents, I wonder whether it's someone who has put it on as a nasty joke type thing - perhaps someone who hired the place by the hour, and fell out big time with the owner.

VacancyAtNumber10AGAIN · 28/11/2022 09:03

I’m too invested in this house
I’ve found the owner 🤦‍♀️ hes a property developer and judging by the address on companies house it’s him that lives in the ground floor flat

SavouryFlavour · 28/11/2022 09:04

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.

BaddogGooddoggy · 28/11/2022 09:05

Lovely dog 💕. Impressive wood ⭐️. Utterly bonkers. Thanks OP, I enjoyed that!
