Rightmove house in the media

[justasking111]

A house has been sneered at on twitter by a journalist so I went looking. In my opinion it's perfectly fine, take away the owners personal belongings its clean, tidy and neutral. I've seen some doozies on there this isn't one of them

"3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale in Thomas Drive, Prescot, L35" https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/144648836#/?channel=RES_BUY

Well clearly the owner has no taste - whether that's newsworthy is another matter.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were owned by a Gypsy or Traveller family. That is quite common decor in their community. The women chose the decor hence why it tends to be more feminine. They also keep their homes spotless, which that one is.

I meant the same table, not the same house!

😊

I saw the article and thought it was so rude and snobby. It’s clean and tidy and all the decorative bits would go with the owners.

the house I’m in now had decorative elements I hated - marble coffee table, fabric padded pelmets on all the curtains like it’s an old, big country house/National trust property (it’s a newbuild rectangle). But that’s all gone with the previous owners and we’ve made it our own.

I think the owner is a Gypsy. That's very much the style.

Definitely a traveller home.

Not my taste but that's fine. People need to be able to see past decor and furniture and imagine their own style when viewing homes.

all the decorative bits would go with the owners.

Indeed!

People are posting as if you'd be forced to buy it with all the contents!

A great house, it’s just furnishings which are not to taste.

1. it's a travellers house, hence the decor, all of which will be gone

2. do you understand how immaculate and pristinely that house will have been kept? Quite a savvy buy there will be zero chipped skirting or mould in the bathroom

The cooker probably won't have been used. I'm surprised there's no plastic covering on the settees.

Define taste.

It's pretty grim tbh. No garden either.

I'm not sure I need to.

It's just another way to get a dig into travellers I presume. The house is immaculate, just not to some people's taste. No need for the nastiness though.

This!

Yesterdays (unpleasant and unkind) thread about this house.

I mean, it's very 80s footballer pad, but you have to look past that

Dreadful photos. Close ups of fluffy cushions rather than of the room they are in. Idiotic estate agents

It’s fairy crazy interior design, but anyway, it’ll have helped them get a quick sale

I was thinking the same, the sneering is misogyny mixed with anti traveler racism (the big bows very feminine but immaculately tidy and clean house is what reminded me of traveler homes)

I saw this earlier and thought the same: what’s the big deal? Sure I wouldn’t choose that furniture for my home but the house looks immaculately clean, none of the actual decor is offensive- even the live laugh love stuff looks like it’s coming down? The kitchen isn’t what I’d choose but perfectly liveable.

Honestly I hope the current owners aren’t too upset by all this negative attention as it’s really unfair.

People are snobs that’s why.
The house is fine and while many houses will have decor people don’t like, people seem to be extra critical of decor of this type, and use horrible words like “chavvy”.

I don’t know why, given most peoples home are devoted according to some trend or other and will look bad in the future. Very few people have truly good and individual classic taste.

Not my taste, but as has been said, no need for cruelty.

It looks clean I know if I bought it I wouldn't be ripping up carpets, it's actually very neutral. Our house had wallpaper that was big mauve flowers, mauve carpet, that went first. Then the bright yellow hall. Otherwise it was neutral.
