Ben Fogles house... (purely nosey & invasive but still...)

[Polew]

To be shocked its Bizarrely... full & verry verry expensive

Rightmove listing

I agree,that's really quite odd.

I cannot tell you how much I want to clear that coffee table!! And I've just realised there are TWO of this awful blue fireplaces 😱

That is one helluva busy house

Bloody horrible

Bit minimalist for my taste really

As a rental, how would you keep inventory of damaged or stolen items?
even a single very wealthy person would struggle to not damage anything while being there.
The housekeeping needed to dust all that would be annoying.

Shit the bed. That would actually be stunning if it was emptied out a bit.

That article says it is astro turf. That's really shocked me, even more than the psychopathically colour-coded books!

I hate colour coded books - how do you find anything!?!?

I love colour coded books! I have my cook books organised by colour.

That is one very busy house though. I like eclectic but it’s a bit much.

Wow, I like it! It’d be fascinating for a poke around to look at all the interesting stuff.

Wow, I'm stunned and disappointed.

Never mind the astroturf, what about the FOUR dishwashers?

How much!!!! Sweet Jesus.

I love the garden apart from the plastic grass, pretty sure real grass would struggle to grow with the amount of shading from the trees, but even so.

Bit too cluttered inside for my liking but he does get around and clearly likes bringing back momentous of his travels.

Got a migraine just looking at it

That kitchen is disgusting

and the PRICE😳

Far too busy, but in a very boring way. I like a bit of maximalism but that house is full of uninteresting tat. Hate the blue tiled fireplaces and the mishmash kitchen.

How on earth can it be rented with all that stuff still in it? The pre letting inventory and checking out report would be an absolute nightmare.

It's rather strange.

I mostly love that but...

Those books are distracting.
The kitchen looks impossible to keep clean
Those green bathroom floor tiles look lethal and the metal bath makes me shiver, just looking at it.
That grass.

I love it! I think it’s different, full of things that probably are loved by the family. I imagine most houses in that price range are decorated by an interior designer, less cluttered yes, but very impersonal. I love the blue fireplaces and the green tiles on the bathroom floor.

I couldn't be bothered dusting all that stuff. Those upside down umbrellas are just asking to be filled up with dust!

I find it really easy. My fiction books are sorted by colour. I always remember what colour a book was. But tbh most of the time I don’t need to find a specific one, I just have a browse to see what I fancy reading. Non fiction aren’t.

Fake grass can burn paws. He should know better.

North Kensington? Didn't that used to be Earls Court? Renamed to make it more expensive maybe.

I couldn’t scroll through all the photos, all the clutter was freaking me out. And those awful fireplaces. And umbrellas hanging from the ceiling, why, just why? Who dusts all this crap.
I could live with the garden.

Something makes me think the books are decorative and not for reading...they are so carefully arranged.

I like it mainly. There are bits I'm not keen on - EATS, umbrellas, some of the decor - but it'd be unusual to like everything in a person's home.

I hope the grass is real though. I think it probably is and just a very flat lawn and newly mown.

HOW FKN MUCH??? Is that a typo? My brain cannot cope.

It's busy as hell but if you remove the shite I dare say it's lovely. I love the bathroom but the two light blue fireplaces are unlivable.

So it's a no from me, sorry Ben and Mrs Ben.
