to wonder what on earth these home owners were thinking

[brizzledrizzle]

We're looking for a new house at the moment...

Love this house but look at pictures 18 and 19 - what on earth ?!

Erm that kitchen was designed by an excellent and renowned designer 😡

And it is a steam room, we took inspiration from a wonderful holiday we enjoyed very much

Bit rude to post about my house like this

That isn't somebody's home, that is a home which has been done up by a developer to a certain specification for a specific market: Middle Eastern buyers. If you have a look at the most expensive properties in London on Savill's and Knight Frank they all look the same and they all have a cinema room like that. Can see why a self contained house for the same market would logically have a hammam.

Doesn't matter a jot that it's not to our tastes. None of us could afford it. Nobody cares whether we like it or not.

Off topic. There is a Victorian Hammam which operates as a women's spa in my city and it's lurvely.

Why is there a bedroom directly off the kitchen, but the dining room is on a different floor? Although it does look like there might be a dumb waiter behind the hideous wooden doors in the kitchen. Wonder what is behind the glass door in the kitchen?

The bedroom will probably be for a member/s of staff.

I could imagine walking in there drunk and actually throwing up from dizziness! What a beautiful house though!!!

That room is hideous but knowing where that house is it'll be well into millions

Knowing where that house is I know that although it has views across the Avon Gorge it also has views of the A4, one of the busiest roads into Bristol.

Gosh I do wonder what type of fabulous home all the posters on here are living in. 😱

I think its a beautiful property, and although some isn't to my taste, it's still a beautiful property with fantastic views.

It's clearly a steam room so wouldn't bother me that much.... Not that i could afford it anyway!

With all those different sized tiles, my eyes wouldn't be able to focus and I'd go blind in that room.

Is that a train track under the glass counter thing, in the kitchen?

I feel like the steam room would be less intense in person, when the tiles don’t translate to a 2D image well but I think when you can actually move around it it wouldn’t be so bad. It is really quite extraordinary though!

I can't see the issue with the kitchen. Ripping those tiles out might be fun.

I also know where that is. Agree that anyone who can afford it can also afford to change the dodgy bits.

The kitchen is by far the worst thing in that house. Nasty.

I want a room of Alain! It'd have a brown chair and William Morris curtains.

I don't get the shock? It's a sauna isn't it? My guess in the separate building that was pictured. I thought the cinema room was a giant picture of someone in a cave at first though . A cool cinema room though. Is it in your budget OP?

Right so who’s going to apply to find out the cost?

My guess is £2.5mil. The London downswing will be hitting Bristol hard soon (if not already).

What’s so terrible about the kitchen?

You can normally work out the cost by where it appears on rightmove.

Ah! Thanks Pick so somewhere between £3-4mil.

Nah, I’ll pass this time

18 is a steam room

It was up for sale for £1.6 million in 2003, minus a building plot (at least one plot was sold for £500k last year).
