Unusual house, look at the bathrooms!

[FloopyZebra]

This is like a trip back in time, it's amazing!
Would you rip out the bathrooms or keep them as a feature?

I love the bathrooms .

I’m with @CharliesAngles - definite Shining vibes here. Shudder.

Awful, shudders I rip the lot out and have the whole house completely redesigned.

I have said this before on threads about homes for sale but I will say it again - don’t call someone’s home they love (maybe only moved out of due to illness or loss) hideous etc. It’s really rude!

What's it like round there, Occitane?

I'm looking to head in that direction soon.

OMG this gives me flashbacks to vivid dreams

It's ten minutes away from Pontrhydyfen Viaduct and the Richard Burton Trail which is a beautiful area for walking.

I love it! Reminds me of the Mount Rushmore house in North by Northwest. Lifelong dream.

Amazing and architecturally significant. I would leave it all in (but spruce it up) and make it a cool 70s house. Get some more 70s artefacts and design pieces. Go with it.

Absolutely love it, what a great house!

I absolutely love it. Wouldn't change a thing!

I love it!

I'd see remodeling in my future. But I love the size of the rooms.

So much space!
Ive always wanted a coloured suite but they’re surprisingly hard to get. More pastelly but I’d live with burgundy and navy!

I was about to say the same, I grew up in Skewen, Derry y Felin school just down the road

Oh my goodness, this is making me feel all nostalgic for my childhood home.

The master bathroom's bath is identical to one my parents had, as are the master bedroom's built in wardrobes and dressing table, all of which was already in situ when my parents bought their house in the late 80s. Weirdly, the brown cabinets in the utility room are identical to the ones our utility room which my parents didn't remove either.

While the decor is not my taste, I love the interior. Strip it back and it's the perfect mid-century base to show off my very lovely Danish furniture.

I love the shape and size of all the rooms but the decor is ugly as hell.

It doesn't need a tonne of work. You could live there without changing anything. The idea that interiors always have to be swanky and up to date is so unnecessary, and why a lot people impoverish themselves. If a house is in good condition and liveable, why the rush and the need to modernise everything? Why does everything have to be new and shiny? Modern interiors also date really quickly anyway. All these grey floor boards and black window panes are going to look so passe in just a few years.

It’s bloody hideous. Sorry.

Indeed, @guvguv . Plus I think this is far more interesting and colourful than the current battleship grey trend.

I actually bloody love it

That’s an architect designed home. Very early 1980’s (at a guess) with almost all original features intact, which is amazing. Some mid-century aficionados would treasure those original features and would style it to look like something out a design magazine. Original features are not just inglenook fireplaces and leaded glass, but oxblood whirlpool baths with matching bidets.

Deffo something about it. Rooms look huge. I like it.

It looks so cared for - I’m getting a warm feeling from it.

I would keep some of the coloured suites - I think you could make it look really cool and retro

I’m sorry, the whole thing is hideous and needs to be torn down, exorcised, and start from scratch. The grounds and drive are the only redeeming features.
