It's a no from me.
Far too fussy and right under the Heathrow flight path.

3.2 million to have neighbours kids' screaming over the hedge 10 feet away, in their massive paddling pool? No ta!

cittigirl · 02/03/2023 16:52

No, not for me

countvoncount · 02/03/2023 17:24

Absolutely love it
I'd swan around with a martini all day in this house

Batmannequin · 02/03/2023 17:55

I love marmite. However, there is nothing to love about the decor in this house.

Wasn’t that on Hugh Dennis Huge Homes which was on all4??
if I remember the owner was in his 80s and quite eccentric

I knew I'd seen it before on tv but couldn't remember what programme or what channel.

BubziOwl · 02/03/2023 21:09

It's bonkers and quite awful - but I absolutely love it Grin

ConkerBonkers · 02/03/2023 21:19

It is extremely close to the Thames, I wouldn't want to drop 3 million in a house that was a flood risk.

TattiePants · 02/03/2023 21:20

The outside space is nice but I’m struggling to find anything I like about the house.

EspeciallyDedicated · 02/03/2023 21:24

I wouldn’t live there if you paid me, there’s not a single room that I like.

Badger1970 · 02/03/2023 21:25

Fuck me, that's appalling. I work in interiors and every room offends me.

Love love love the garden/outside though.

TicTac80 · 02/03/2023 21:27

I don't understand whether it is trying to be a medieval castle or a Mediterranean villa. I love some parts of it, but hate other parts. I'd be worried about dusting, maintaining the features in the gardens/patios and the bloody bugs/mosquitos in the summer due to the water features!!

Suzi888 · 02/03/2023 21:28

That’s …. horrid. I don’t like the outside either…. 😳 with that price tag I’ll never need to worry 😂

TheGirlWhoLived · 02/03/2023 21:37

What an interesting house!! I wouldn’t like to live there… the thrones facing each other by the fire is a bit weird… love the bridge over the river to get to it. It’s almost how I imagine Bilbo’s duplex in the Hobbit

MistyGreenAndBlue · 02/03/2023 21:57

I've seen this one before
DH found it and we spent an enjoyable 20 minutes or so making fun of it
So... yeah 😂

Ohnanawhatsyourname · 02/03/2023 22:13

The ceilings are so low, and not in a cosy way, with walls seemingly jutting out at angles? It’s very claustrophobic!

And the aerial view shows it’s a relatively small plot of land, everything shoved in.

Are the walls and features at funny angles? It’s like looking through a kaleidoscope, but of beige and white columns and stairs.

Nice to see something different though!

Ohnanawhatsyourname · 02/03/2023 22:14

Somehow it’s like the house version of those little castles you see in fish tanks

Jellykat · 02/03/2023 22:17

Yuk (but i love Marmite)

Jooliusreezer · 03/03/2023 07:12

All that money and neighbours are inches from you at every turn.

Also that place is flood-tastic.

megletthesecond · 03/03/2023 07:17

Horrible and gloomy. Except the white dining room which I do like.

reluctantbrit · 03/03/2023 07:29

I think whoever can pay the purchase price has money enough to sort out redecorating.

I like the outside, some of the rooms and the general feel. But some rooms are designed for nightmares.

redspottedmug · 03/03/2023 07:30

All the 'features' are out of property on - I thought the photos had been stretched sideways!

Flood zone

No river frontage. Absolutely hemmed in on all sides

Dust magnet

The price Shock

I do like the courtyard / folly though.

Grumpafrump · 03/03/2023 07:58

I haven’t RTFT, but it’s not my cup of tea. Fake old and OTT faux-Italian opulence. 🤢

TheIsleOfTheLost · 03/03/2023 07:59

The lack of garden puts me off. What is there is interesting, but at that price I would want land.

EnjoythemoneyJane · 03/03/2023 08:13

Completely bonkers and utterly hideous in every way. But I love the eccentricity of it and how hard they’ve committed to the general nuttiness and bad taste - it’s great seeing houses that people have done up purely for their own enjoyment versus the usual blah neutrals.

The sad thing is they’ll probably be a bit bewildered as to why no one’s biting their arm off for it, but they’ll struggle to find that one person who thinks it’s fabulous and also has 3 million quid hanging around in spare change. The price tag is definitely in keeping with the fairytale theme.
