Looks impossible to clean, I'm not the cleanest person but it made me feel sneezy.

Handsnotwands · 02/03/2023 11:01

it's so confusing. and chunky.

That living / dining room looks like a mediterranean restaurant. I wanted to love it, but didn't. No need for a throne room all things considered.

My kids would love it though, and expect it to come with the suit of armour.

Love it, but the dining room carpet looks wrong....wonder if they'll knock the price down for that 😝🤨

Rainbowshit · 02/03/2023 11:02

Ugh. Money really cannot buy taste.

BeStrongLittleRodney · 02/03/2023 11:03

I’m one of the haters

starfishmummy · 02/03/2023 11:04

Oh good grief!!

I feel exactly the same about it as I do about marmite!! Yeuk!!

MyriadOfTravels · 02/03/2023 11:04

It is indeed … particular

I like quirky stuff but that’s not my style

If Alan Partridge and Nigel Farage ran a taverna with 2.5 stars on Tripadvisor

Described by Rightmove as 'period'. Which period?! And I bet they have a mosquito problem in the summer.

Yesthatismychildsigh · 02/03/2023 11:09

To quote the lovely Dolly Parton ‘It takes a lot of money to look this tacky’. Actually I think she said trashy but that’s not quite the correct word in the U.K.

I’ve seen this on a tv program. The guy was so proud of his home.

Showersugar · 02/03/2023 11:11

Far too decorative and fussy for my tastes (those ceilings!), but you can tell this has been a real labour of love for the sellers - I hope they are successful in finding buyers who will treasure it as much as they have.

It's like it doesn't know which architectural style it wanted to be, so had a go at everything.
There are s couple of beautiful parts, but it's not for me overall.

Grin I couldn't live there but wow, what a find! Why couldn't it be used for location filming? Parking issues?

Calphurnia88 · 02/03/2023 11:17

Would love to have a mini break there but not live permanently!

Ultravox · 02/03/2023 11:18

OP - are you Tony Soprano?

WhisperingAutistic · 02/03/2023 11:24

I love it! So quirky and different.

MarshaBradyo · 02/03/2023 11:25

It’s a bit Escher

Crazy. I take it it was built recently

Coxspurplepippin · 02/03/2023 11:27

Claustrophobic and I'd be worried bits of pillar and plinth were going to drop on my head.

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 02/03/2023 11:28

God it's bonkers! Wouldn't want to live there but would quite enjoy a few days there.

Dreamstate · 02/03/2023 11:29

I like the exposed brick walls, I find the mouldings on the ceiling too much. The staircase is too much. Its a bit too much! If you stripped some of it back a bit it could be incredibly beautiful.

TheFireflies · 02/03/2023 11:31

I am a big fan of maximalism, of eccentric and I like a bit of exposed brickwork.

However I do not like this!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 02/03/2023 11:31

Love it!

Toddlerteaplease · 02/03/2023 11:36

That is hideous!
