Somewhat unique property - www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/132074525#/?channel=RES_BUY

They're selling it as a doer-upper, but it would just feel wrong to paint over everything. It almost needs a museum or the National Trust or something to take it over and keep it as it is.

I wish the photos had been done with furniture still in place. I want to see the complete look!

April Fools Day is a month away yet 😂

That is gloriously bonkers!

NuffSaidSam · 05/03/2023 19:27

Why is it listed as a one bedroom and what would be the second bedroom is just called additional room'?!

Love the commitment to the look!

WhatsitWiggle · 05/03/2023 19:29

@NuffSaidSam it can't be sold as a 2 bed as you can't access that room without going through the bathroom

Is the additional room up that weird ladder contraption? I don’t think they are allowed to call it a bedroom if you can’t access it easily

I knew which house this would be when I saw the thread title Grin second thread on this charmer in the past few days!

Lockheart · 05/03/2023 19:39

Blimey. There's certainly a commitment to a theme isn't there.

I almost like it, I can understand why someone would want that sort of aesthetic. It is a bit sad as it was obviously a labour of love, even if it's a slightly too enthusiastic love...

FindingMeno · 05/03/2023 19:42

Parts of it I love!

catscatscurrantscurrants · 05/03/2023 20:31

It's not to everyone's taste, but I think it's wonderful. A labour of love for someone.

Highlyflavouredgravy · 05/03/2023 20:35

I would have absolutely no hesitation in covering the whole lot with white paint!

Helenahandkart · 05/03/2023 21:04

I note the washing machine plumbing. I wonder what their washing machine looked like.

WyldeSwan · 05/03/2023 21:24

There are so many soulless grey boxes about I love it when people have an eclectic or eccentric style and go all out with it, no matter how bizarre or objectively tacky! I'd never have the confidence. And I love how it shines through the love and pride they had in it too.

But no, I'd have absolutely no qualms painting it all white if I had to live there!

Ponderoveryonder · 05/03/2023 21:36

I’m sure I’ve seen this house on a documentary about unusual homes or something?
anyway I think it’s hideous and would have no problem painting it all into soulless box again 😂

Yellowdays · 05/03/2023 22:58

This property was linked last week too.

Take off and nuke it from orbit...

Third - at least 😂

isitaline97 · 05/03/2023 23:42

I love it 😂 I love all that oldie worldie stuff though.

RuddyLaura · 06/03/2023 00:05

Screaming brothel to me!

user143677434 · 06/03/2023 00:17

I love how the listing makes absolutely no reference to the decoration 😅

pickyourown · 06/03/2023 00:17

Ooh was looking through and then realised it’s 5 minutes from me!! Going to look for it on the school run 👀

Yes I thought that! Wonder how many takes it took without pissing himself 😂

NeverApologiseNeverExplain · 06/03/2023 00:49

What's going on in the driveway, what is that weird pier/platform thing all about?

It looks like the set of a panto.
