A couple of the pics say "AI Rendered photo" when you hover over them, but most of them don't.

If it's real, my money is on it being owned by a footballer...

Dreadful. Soulless, grey, too much space. No real personality and quire tacky decor. I hate the vastness of space as it feels too big, there is no real sense of being a cosy, homely environment.

I definitely wouldn't pay £5m for it!

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 23/02/2026 00:43

So much grey.
shame

tho I think I quite like the carpet on the stairs

Tiptopflipflop · 23/02/2026 00:44

All that grey marble makes me feel very cold and nervous about cracked heads.

HowBizxarre · 23/02/2026 00:45

Some of the furniture looks photoshopped in doesn't it

MarxistMags · 23/02/2026 01:05

And they couldn't even make the beds properly !

Elishiva · 23/02/2026 01:09

So grey I can’t tell one room from the others.
The green velvet circle thing reminds me of a tacky nightclub from 2004, but also looks superimposed.

When I saw the stair carpet I said to myself, “Oooh, I like that!”

It’s about the only thing though.

The scale between the two buildings doesn’t look right.

TheAutumnCrow · 23/02/2026 01:19

If you click on street view there’s only a different house with a building site opposite.

Lastofthesummerwines · 23/02/2026 01:19

It definitely doesn’t look real does it . It looks like a computerised dolls house , I think it’s AI generated .

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 23/02/2026 01:20

It’d hideous.

TheAutumnCrow · 23/02/2026 01:25

Why CGI something so hideous, though?

Elishiva · 23/02/2026 01:39

Photo 30 does say it’s ai rendered.
I couldn’t live in it.

‘Hey, AI, design me a footballer’s house that looks like a set design for Z-Lister Big Brother on an acre of tarmac next to the main road out of Ponteland. Don’t scrimp on the shiny grey shag pile.’

FranticFrankie · 23/02/2026 01:48

Did you see the price from 2023? 😲

MeghansToes · 23/02/2026 01:53

Definitely got the catalogue of bad taste and maxed out either from a real catalogue for wankers with more money than taste or the AI version. Crude money based prints too.

Muffinmam · 23/02/2026 01:56

That is absolutely awful!!

Crwysmam · 23/02/2026 01:57

It’s defo aimed at the professional footballers market. My late DAunt lived in Darras Hall she used to have several neighbours who played for Newcastle.

I supposed it’s just a quick jaunt in the bright red Lamborghinis down the A road and Ponteland Road to St James’s Park.

Oh, I thought I'd seen it before! This house must've had a thread on MN three years ago. It doesn't look like anyone lives there, but I reckon it's real. Maybe the occupants slipped on marble flooring and died of their injuries ... one by one, within a week of trying to move in.

I think they've had AI images of the exterior done, either because there's a massive roadworks out the front or they're privacy freaks. Darras Road on Street View has half a dozen properties greyed out with 'google fog' Confused

It's hideous inside and outside.

Greenfinch7 · 23/02/2026 03:46

Hideous

BruceAndNosh · 23/02/2026 03:56

The amount of tarmac outside could have filled all the potholes in my town!

Hideous….I’d be terrified climbing out of that bath with wet feet!

LindorDoubleChoc · 23/02/2026 05:24

56 photos and only 1 of the kitchen (a corner of it). Is there a garden? Is there a floor plan? Mind boggling.

scoobydeedoo · 23/02/2026 05:29

Darras Hall is where a lot of footballers live, trying to think who in the Newcastle team is responsible for this. I want to throw lots of colourful paint around to liven it up
