I lived the shoe bath

I actually quite like the house. Yes bits are rather quirky but most of that is furniture, easily removed or a bit of a talking point

I love it! Shame about the location though.

its right next to a castle, it’s amazing location, you could pretend you’re living in medieval times and dress like you’re in game of thrones and not a single person would bat an eyelid. I think I like the location as much as the house 🤣

Apart from the bathrooms, the kitchen and the unfinished garage, I think it's really lovely.

Or the font for a handbasin. I'm not religious at all but I'd feel a bit weird going to the loo then washing my hands in the font.

How did I miss that?!

It does seem somewhat sacrilegious

Toddlerteaplease · 05/01/2025 22:49

@Lwrenn ah. I just saw it was on the high street.

Do I see double-height ceilings?

Envy. I want somewhere with double-height ceilings to hang a trapeze.

Back in the 90s I had one of those random nights out in Brighton, where I lived. I ended up back at a flat of some friends of friends. The main living space was double height and had a swing in the middle.

Love it! Wouldn’t want to live in it but it’d make a fine rental for a murder mystery weekend 😁

Ha! I love the area but I don't like the decor in the house at all.

The kitchen is very Piet Mondrian style!

I hate that. Far too try hard. And the bath is just weird.

That is a hell of a jump, but it sounds like it was essentially a shell in 2017 and has been completely gutted and renovated in that time period. I don't know the local market though; it's still conceivably overpriced.

My son did the lime rendering on the outside of this house after the inside had been gutted and renovated . Lime is quite the thing 'round these here parts , and it's not cheap !

Silvers11 · 05/01/2025 23:00

It's a bit quirky, but a lot of it could be removed/is just furniture. The Kitchen and the Shoe bath seem out of place with the rest of the decor. Though, which I find very odd. The basic shape of the house looks fine. A HUGE jump in price though. Guess it must have been a shell back in 2017 though!

Oreyt · 05/01/2025 23:03

What a mush mash of styles.

Maybe the wife did some rooms and the husband the other 😂

LetThereBeLove · 05/01/2025 23:13

Love it!

Flux1 · 05/01/2025 23:14

The shower up the stairs in the bedroom behind what looks like a pulpit? 😳

FrangipaniBlue · 05/01/2025 23:18

What is the long white thing on the wall to the right in photo 18?

It looks like a weird sink but there's another sink on the back wall I think?

Then I thought urinal..... but too high up?

TheBluntTurtle · 05/01/2025 23:23

Where did they get the shoe bath?! And can you slide down it?!!

FadedGreenGrey · 05/01/2025 23:33

It’s rather wonderful.

It would be lovely to have the money to decorate nicely and have nice furniture.

Perhaps I wouldn’t be as quirky, or as stylish, just anything new would be lovely ☺️

You have to have proof of funds to view it. And narrow vehicles only!

Printedword · 05/01/2025 23:39

Reverse bay window Mondrian kitchen. Pulpit over the bed, shoe bath, weird white floor. Interesting though

HPandthelastwish · 05/01/2025 23:40

I just did a search on House Prices 'Castle Street, Conwy' and the photos are exactly the same apart from the beds have mattresses so have they just waited a few years and whacked £700k on???

VivienneDelacroix · 05/01/2025 23:40

The shoe bag is hideous! Plus, my children would try to slide down the arch and would cause a tidal wave of bath water, as well as probably break their coccyx.

HPandthelastwish · 05/01/2025 23:42

The shoe bath looks like its £17k alone Shoe bath article

HereForTheAnimals · 06/01/2025 00:04

Sasskitty · 05/01/2025 22:15

185 to 875? 🤔

I totally agree with you, but I bet that shoe bath cast £300k. Only slightly joking with that price because I don't know how much a shoe shaped bath costs 🤣. Off to Google

Growlybear83 · 06/01/2025 00:04

I don't like the bath but I think the rest of the house is gorgeous.

Craftymam · 06/01/2025 00:07

That is probably the maddest most immaculately renovated property I have seen. How they merged ancient and modern there is mental.
