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?

Me either!!

@sheworemellowyellow

It's tucked away and it's not that built up around it.
Very unlikely to get planning permission for another property so hopefully it will remain as one property on the site.

@Fizbosshoes I don't know, it's amazing what you can do with sticky back plastic!!

Love it! I’d keep the bathrooms - except the v tiles they aren’t very 60s

@catandcoffee I was thinking more 'pool
psrty!'

OMG I love it. Sign me up.

The only appealing things about that house is the gardens.

Very old and very expensive looking for its time.
It’s nice to see, and I’m pleased people aren’t ridiculing someone else’s house.

Strangely this is how i feel about it😊

I think it's awesome. Fabulous sized rooms too and generally well thought out. It would be £1.5m in Surrey.

I’ve now seen the video and I’m even more in love with it. That blue bathroom is crying out for a fashion photoshoot.

I like a 1970s house, but some of that is a bit too 1970s for me. The cupboards round the beds are the worst feature for me. It could be great with some refurb. Interesting to hear that coloured bathroom suits are coming back.

Apologies for the insta-speak, but it looks to me like that was someone’s ‘forever home’ and they’ve been ‘living their best life’ in it😊. So well preserved and in a lovely spot.
I hope it goes to someone who spends their days wafting through it joyfully, occasionally sitting down to an episode of Dallas or The Good Life after dishing up a slab of Black Forest gateau on those brown rimmed plates we all had.
Thanks to the posters who made me miss my Sindy bedroom furniture!

It's amazing - and I wouldn't change a thing

I agree, I love most of it. I would get rid of a couple of bits like the horrible bathroom windows. Not sure about the bedroom wardrobes either with the twee mouldings.

It looks so well-maintained! To the point of looking almost like a second home, barely lived in.

No, I love the stone bits! They look like the type of interior design that every smaller house was trying to copy and do themselves cheaply and badly, in the late 60s and 70s. This looks like it was well done, like it shouldn't be touched as it's proper interior design for that period.

Ex Dwr y Felin pupil here - hello!

If you can promise me it's got soft water (those bathrooms would be hell to clean where I live ) then I'm in.

I think it’s an absolute gem of a house! I would have to remove all the pelmets, as I can’t abide them, and the kitchen and bedroom cupboards need a more 70s look (maybe wood in the bedrooms?) but aside from a few decor tweaks, I don’t think I would fundamentally change it. It would be like restoring a work of art!

The water here is very soft! 😁

You can buy pink, because I see it in the window of a local bathroom shop.

The problem with the burgundy and dark blue baths is that even in a soft water area the water leaves a greyish mark, so you have to buff them to a shine after every use.

Flashbacks to my grandparents' house. Same era, much smaller, but same type of decor. I swear they had the same wardrobes over the bed as well. Nostalgia.

Suppose it depends on your size 😂

I love it, it has been lovingly cared for.

The decor reminds me of projects in a magazine my dad collected in the 70s, Marshall Cavendish Golden Homes.
