Wow, this house could be amazing....

Browsing Rightmove and I came across this-

I wasn't expecting that interior but oh, if I win the lottery I so would

It could be amazing with a lot of work and modern furniture. I like the rocking horse 🐎

It's a snapshot of the 60s. I like that the owners kept it as it is rather than constantly keep up with trends and throw away furniture etc as they went along. Good on them.

I like it, and I like the furniture*.

I’d only consider the house if they left all the book shelves.

*Hangs head in shame at my appalling interior design taste.

I did the full tour the kitchen is clean, functional. It's an interesting tour

I think I'd buy the furniture and open a kitsch hotel for sporting guests.

And the books 😂

Will cost an absolute bomb to get that anywhere near my dream home.

It looks like it should be a school to me rather than a home.

Wouldn't want to pay the heating bill on that place, or have to clean the windows either.

I love it. All that wood, such a huge garden, mature trees. I just took a quick look at the tour and the kitchen seems absolutely tiny, but there's so much space that could no doubt be remedied.

There are loads of people putting mid century furniture into Victorian houses. They don’t get criticised!

This one’s just the other way round.

I'm with you @stripeyreds0cks That could look incredible. The layout is exactly what I've been looking for (ample living space and downstairs bedrooms and studios for my dds) and not over £1 mil! Where I am that would be about £3 mil.

I did too. Didn't make it any better, the kitchen looks like it's in an institution. The metal edging of the cabinets reminded me very much of what Ben did to the flat kitchen on Interior Design Masters last week!

Someone may have already replied but a pool near me rents out the pool space to baby swim classes. Also has a annexe they air bnb and have pool slots for.

So separate hanging areas will be desirable if renting out the pool

Oh, I love that. It's classic mid-century, and so many original features. I love all the bookcases and the big windows and the wood.

Fair enough. I'd have thought they could change in a bedroom too, but I suppose if space really isn't an issue, you may as well stick a changing room or two in!

I'm with you!

The wood looks like cheap 1970s MDF, even if it isn't.

Horrible.

It is lovely.
I think I'd have to get rid of the yellow bathroom , but with six others to choose from I could live with that !

That could be amazing for the right family. I'm not sure about Markinch though. I always thought it was a bit run down, but saw some beautiful houses last time I went by on the train. I think that was Markinch anyway.

I'd love to know about the owners.

I'll grant the location is incredible but I'm shuddering at all that orange wood 😬

'Needs modernising' would be my way of looking at it.

I would use bedroom 7 for myself, knock through the changing room and be able to leap out of bed and run naked straight into the pool in the morning. 🤣

There is a lot of potential in it, but that means a lot of work too

DH and I looked at a house not dissimiliar to that a couple of years ago, and completely fell in love with it - the family who'd built it back in the 60s were selling, reluctantly, and much of it was still as it had been. The only red flag was that the construction was 'non-traditional', so a lot of concrete, and that might have caused problems with the mortgage company...

Wood like that isn't usually quite as orange in real life - it doesn't photograph well IME.

Exactly the price of that teak vintage ercol and parker knoll stuff is through the roof.

It's lovely inside! I love the panelling, the staircase, etc. Also like the yellow bathroom. I'd swap the sofas out for sure, but the bones are exactly to my taste.

It looks like a twilight home at the moment.

The only thing I like about it is the 5 acres of land.

I would knock it down and build a new house.
