I know we like a nose around other peoples houses. Might need sunglasses for this one.

Two million for a terraced house with no dedicated parking? No way.

Only if the artist will pop round and paint it all various shades of magnolia..

And I am an artist and this shit pisses me off. This is undoubtedly wonderful fun for her to do and if you like it, great but what the actual very fuck makes her paintings worth 2K and mine worth £200?

grumps off to paint a flower that actually looks like a fucking flower

I like cheery and would like some of it but would need a calming hall and a few other rooms. I think I’d get a headache with the whole house being like that!!!

I see there is at least one child's bedroom and it occurs to me that the house is so very full of an extremely vivid personalty, shall we say. I wonder how much personal space is it leaving for the child?

I love it! Really over priced but I wish I was brave enough to do that to my house! Life is too grey and boring as it is...

I love it, but not the price

What rancid smell? We go there loads )only live 30 min away) never noticed a rancid smell.

But that house id prob with about £400k at most. The area is struggling for housing we don’t need another house taken off the market as someone’s “art installation”!!!! At least if was open to the public it would bring in money to the local economy!

A good agent

The funniest thing about the artist is the puff for an exhibition she had in Edinburgh :

'with a unique mix of fearlessness and trust an artist set off for a tiny Scottish island''

What? The island was Tiree, small yes but a holiday destination for hundreds of windsurfers and birdwatchers every year.What exactly did she think she might be afraid of? My own children learned to windsurf there aged about 8. (That was quite brave) She went for a holiday. More fool anyone who believes any of her self important nonsense.

I mean I like the character but I wouldn't live in it.

It's clearly being sold as a piece of art rather than a house. Almost anyone buying that as a house is likely to repaint in quite short order. But are you allowed to?

It will be very interesting to see what it sells for and whether the new owner actually lives in it.

Edit: given that it's being sold with furniture and artwork, I wonder if they're hoping someone will turn it into a museum?

I actually really like it! And it's not usually my taste at all - I'm a neutrals girl normally. But this I love. Would happily live there. And if the novelty wears of a grand of off-white paint will be a drop in the ocean of 2mil.

So? People have art installations consisting of a can of baked beans sitting in the middle of the room, and this kind of crap sells for thousands too!

I guess if you repainted you’d lose £1.5m from the sale value - quickest depreciation in history.

Yes, it's wonderful. I would happily live there and add to the decoration. I have decoupaged ceilings in my house and use lots of colour as well as vintage/antique furniture and light fittings. I have a chamber of horrors, too - though this was my late DH's creation and I am not that keen on severed heads.
Thought you were going to show something with fake marble floors and awful light fittings.

Highly acclaimed, prominent, influential British contemporary artist? For real? Before I read that bit I though it was a hobby artist having a bit of a moment. It makes an absolute mockery of art, that amateurish work like this is acclaimed and really talented artists are left on the side line.

All I can say is if I had £2m I'd not spend it on that, and I certainly wouldn't be up for paying mansion tax on it.

Jesus Christ…. There’s eccentric and then there’s THIS…. You paying for location nothing else in this case. Awful

Simply that someone is willing to pay her £2,000.00 for a painting, I guess. Essentially, it's always that, isn't it?

You’ve got to admire the self belief of someone who thinks that her personal taste in interior decoration is worth £1.5 million!

To me, the “unique” decoration has devalued the house and I’d be looking to offer less than it was sold for last time, because correcting all that lot would be expensive.

I'm not going to pretend I would live in it, because I wouldn't, BUT it does have Charleston and Natalie Lete vibes, both of which I quite like in small doses (say a notebook or a lampshade!

But no-one will buy it for 2 mill because no-one is going to want a house around the mansion tax threshold now.

It's awful. Just because you like, doesn't make it good.

My Grandmother has a similar sized house, same layout in the North, 20 years ago, sold for less than 100K 😂😂
The price is astronomical!
Some of the painting is lovely, it’s just a bit too much everywhere.

Some areas can be, Brixham isn’t usually THAT expensive so it must be purely because of the art 😬

I quite like the panelling in the bathroom.

Could I pay for just that??😂

It seems like the artist paid £525k for 11 Nelson Road in 2022.

It now needs full redecoration in a flat market so she's asking about £1,505,000 too much.

I come a family of artists and imo her paintings are shit.
