I live near this house and I have always wanted to see inside. Just wish it had a floor plan

It's also on a main road and not "in the heart of" anywhere

It's awful. It looks like it was made of Lego, with Legoman taking the terrible pictures!

Fahhgedaboutit · 28/09/2023 01:51

I don’t understand the bed/bath situation- is it just getting updated frequently? When you posted @catbla2957 you mentioned it has 8 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. Then @Luckydog7 said 11 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms but when I look at the listing it now says 11 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. Does it keep changing?? Why??

Fahhgedaboutit · 28/09/2023 01:52

Oh, the description says 11 beds 15 baths and the main bit says 11 beds 13 baths. That’s weird.

Ah Bewbush Castle.
Always wondered what lie beneath, my eyes will never recover!

In the Bristol one, photo 15 has a little Penny Farthing beside the window. You just KNOW that's going to start peddling around all by itself at midnight when you're in the house on your own don't you? 😨

My first thought was that it looks like it is made from Lego.

I think the excess of bathrooms is due to the 'annexes' in the garden

viques · 28/09/2023 02:45

I would prefer fewer bathrooms and larger rooms. Who wants to pay for live in someone else’s weird fantasy world?

Netaporter · 28/09/2023 03:56

ooh I love a good RM thread.

I’d love to see the conveyancing pack for this one. Never in a million years did any council approve plan to increase a footprint from a 4 bed to 11 bed 😂 Absolutely zero chance the work conforms to building regs either.

The EA looks like one of the American agency jobs where the ‘agent’ (who bears more than a passing resemblance to Peter Sutcliffe) does everything himself - hence the pictures that look like they were taken whilst on a rollercoaster. Absolutely no money changed hands with an actual photographer it would seem. Plus, no english EA would value this at anything like the asking. God loves a trier though, apparently.

Anyone else think The owner also looks like Lech Walesa’s doppelgänger?

LadyOfTheCanyon · 28/09/2023 04:23

The Bristol house is 100% haunted 👻

LadyOfTheCanyon · 28/09/2023 04:25

@Netaporter

Well Lech Walesa used to be an electrician, so maybe they're in the trades together!

HerRoyalNotness · 28/09/2023 04:28

It needs a bulldozer and start from scratch!

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the delightful Streetview yet...

The bedrooms are so small!

drspouse · 28/09/2023 06:12

I want to live in a castle now.

HandScreen · 28/09/2023 06:20

Ikeepmybumcheekshidden · 27/09/2023 22:23

I think that's owned by a family of 'travellers' (if that's the current pc term?)

Incorrect. And you're a racist.

piscofrisco · 28/09/2023 06:31

Those black bathrooms are quite something

catbla2957 · 28/09/2023 06:32

I seem to remember black bathrooms being quite on trend in the late 80s

Awful, boring, such a wasted opportunity.

Why are there any 2 pictures of the living space?

Cockmigrant · 28/09/2023 06:42

HirplesWithHaggis · 28/09/2023 01:06

I'm curious how you know?

They have a website with pictures of the rooms

F0Xintherain · 28/09/2023 06:44

I go past this most days! Always wondered what on earth was inside, it's awful from the outside. Wow! Isn't it awful 🤣
Tempted to go and view it

F0Xintherain · 28/09/2023 06:46

Why do the number of bedrooms and bathrooms change in the listing ?

And the worst thing is that when this abortion of a house is sold the current owner will be let loose on some other unsuspecting neighbourhood!

EyesOnThePies · 28/09/2023 06:51

MrsMoastyToasty · 27/09/2023 21:39

It’s leasehold… with a service charge of more than £16k a year! Odd.

mummabubs · 28/09/2023 06:53

I don't think I've ever seen such a contradictory property, both the actual building and the RM listing 😂😂

Agree, utterly terrible photos. Loads are repeated, random dude in the mirror, beds unmade.

Bedrooms look tiny, garden is literally a patch of land (although God knows what they'd have done to it given what they've done to the house!!)

This feels like a case of putting a really high price tag on the property because it's unique. But unique ain't necessarily a good thing!! 😂 I don't believe any agent took those photos, so I wonder if the vendors have specified the crazy price tag too...
