It has great bones, as they say. I absolutely love mid-century design (especially glass interior walls) and would keep 80% of the original interior but strip it out and refurnish it the way it was intended to be, plus zhush it up a bit with some cool 70s pieces. A lot of 60s and 70s houses have a huge amount of space, light and well-configured rooms and are value for money, unlike most Victorian houses.

It'd be a crying shame if someone goes in, rips out the wood panelling and fucks the place over with plasterboard and a thousand shades of greige. But ... yeah, it'll be chilly and drafty and probably not well insulated, which would put me off. Plus the amount of exterior work, the location and the price tag!

No chance. It’s hideous!

I’m glad so many of you don’t like it. I love it and I’ll have it all to myself 😆

I've seen houses in this style that have been decorated to fit the era and they look brilliant. I love those stairs. I'd love a gander at the books too. There's an instagram dedicated to period (if the term applies to mid century) properties like this where the original decor is still in place and I LOVE IT. I've forgotten the @ obviously... If I find it I'll be back.

A heated outdoor pool and a swimming lake.
A fully equipped outhouse gym
Definitely some kind of side entrance utility boot room situation
A massive freezer
