I think it's a sweet house and I can see it's been done by someone who knows what they're doing. I like it better than most of the bland, blank canvass houses, and I really like a couple of the rooms.....but I'm not sure I'd want to live there.

Not for me - but it definitely has bags of personality! I imagine the owner is a character!

Love it. ❤️

CoffeeAndCats3 · Yesterday 06:32

Both. But its too much - too many colours that are too loud and that clash.

For example, I like the office and the kitchen. But the hallway and bathroom are both horrendous.

Madcats · Yesterday 08:09

I hadn’t realised before, but the agent’s brochure/leaflet has a yellow bathroom, not a bright pink one and the courtyard doesn’t appear to be tiled, with orange walls.

Odd.

Surely somebody on MN lives near enough to Torquay to book a viewing?

The back yard is fabulous. The rest of it - no. It's just not a peaceful environment to live in.

MyGallbladderIsAFucker · Yesterday 09:17

Even if I had an unlimited amount of money I couldn't create this it would just look like a paint spillage. This has been done so well. I love it.

I'm not sure about the colours or the fake grass but I love the seclusion of it and the way it makes more rooms.

Yes, me too, but now it seems it's mostly done by AI. I'd love to know what it really looks like.

Love the pink bathroom, but the zebra print stairs would have to go. Otherwise I like it.

See this I like. Its too much for me to live in but I think its really cool. Its got colour, pattern, texture. And actual life like books.

The other house just looks like plastic and too matching.

This ^ I couldn't live in the artist's house, but appreciate it for it's integrity.

The house the OP posted is too 'try hard' for me - I mean, they're both somewhat contrived but imo the St. Marychurch one is like interior design by numbers with no actual flair or an 'evolved over years' feel.

I love colour - not dopamine decor, although I am a fan of Sophie Robinson - but more earthy colours than the bold, primary colours used in huge swathes in that house. So I hate the orange, the cerise pink...and the hallway is just terrible. I actually quite like the green of the kitchen though, despite it being a colour I'd never use in my home.

However, I don't believe in holding back if it's something you love and would never decorate with a future buyer in mind, so kudos to the homeowner for following their heart.

I'm sure if I posted up pics of my interiors they'd be hated by lots of posters, but our stuff has been collected over time because it means something to us and we love it. Whereas many of the decorative objects in that house look like they were bought en masse from somewhere like TK Maxx just for effect.

TurquoiseDreamCatcher · Yesterday 09:30

I like all of it apart from the hall

shiningstar2 · Yesterday 09:33

It is an excellent, creative example of its kind but I don't think it looks like it has enough storage in the bedrooms for me as a permanent home.
What a find it would be if I was looking to hire a holiday cottage and in just the right place to make this work as well. If who ever bought it had this as a plan they could certainly price it very high and I would love to stay in it winter or summer.

Newrecipefordinner · Yesterday 09:42

I can’t figure it out. There’s zebra carpeting on the stairs and then, in another photo taken upstairs, the stairs carpet is beige. In that photo too we see into a white/floral bathroom, very unlike the pink one in later photos. But there’s just one bathroom on the floorplan?

That’s all just at first glance. There are obviously lies being told here. Really weird.

SonK · Yesterday 09:56

Beautifully done - agree with a previous poster that particular aesthetic is very hard to achieve

chocolatestodgeandcustard · Yesterday 10:03

I think many of the ornaments are likely to have also been added by AI.

I don't think estate agents should be permitted to present AI altered images. We are used to seeing wide angle lenses making rooms look much larger than they really are. You can also tell when filters have been added to clean up walls etc.

But adding furniture, wall and carpet colours and ornaments that are AI generated should not be permitted.

You can achieve a great deal with AI.

Love it but some of the colours are a bit OTT

You need to question how much of it is real.

boredandgrand · Yesterday 10:17

I love it. I'm particularly taken with the bathroom.

chocolatestodgeandcustard · Yesterday 10:18

It would not surprise me if the property is empty of furniture.

mondaytosunday · Yesterday 10:19

I like it other than the dead salmon pink bedroom. The garden looks like bad AI though.

Slightyamusedandsilly · Yesterday 10:21

I love the colours. The patterns hurt my eyes a bit (although I could live with the zebra print). As do all the shelves and the clutter.

Outside is lush. Making a backyard look hot and Mediterranean is a good touch.

CharlotteStreetW1 · Yesterday 10:23

WallaceinAnderland · 13/10/2026 16:29

I quite like the floor in the kitchen/diner.

But, like the house in the OP (most of which I love), there's nothing that can't be undone with a gallon of Dulux.
