To state that this might just be the best house for sale on Rightmove?

I don't live there. But I sort of wish I knew whoever does...

WOW!

How lovely to see a house where the owners have decorated it in a style they obviously love. So refreshing compared to a sea of grey and tasteful.

Winegummybear - is it your house?

I am.afraid the windchimes will have to go. They would keep me awake !!

Oh goodness, that's ghastly! What's with the life size Virgin Mary in the bedroom?!

I think it's fabulous although I personally wouldn't want to live there.

Might be best to try to keep stereotypes and speculation of who the owners might be out of it though?

I posted it as I was utterly agog looking at it - it's certainly brought me joy looking at the pictures, whatever Marie Kondo would think.

I bet whoever lives there makes a nice cup of tea and wouldn't be stingy with the biscuits.

It’s a fantastic expression of the owners’ individuality. Bet all you mockers are wall to wall laminated floors and grey walls with houses that all look the same.

My eyes!
Can you imagine that with a hangover?
It's like someone got hold of the Laura Ashley catalogue in 1985 and just went "I'll have the lot".

...which is the surest way to make your house never sells. By all means express yourself, but surely someone has had the conversation with them about how to market a property?! People want to see what a house is like, not see photos of a tiger and the Virgin Mary.

I unironically like it. It's unapologetic and thats great.

Oh my word, where to start?! And I know it's the least of the house's worries, but those big hedges are so horribly oppressive.
What a job they'll have, packing up all that clutter!

It's not my style but it looks like a house that is loved by the owners. Despite there being far more stuff than I'd have it looks clean and tidy (always good signs for a well-maintained house). I love the garden.

The only things that would put me off buying that house are the lack of a proper bathroom and downstairs loo. The rest is purely cosmetic, anyone who can’t see past the decor has zero imagination or vision.

Well, I like beige.

Liking beige speaks volumes.

I would need a bloody map and compass to find my way round it. Possibly even the phone number of the local search party too.
How the fook can you relax in that house when you have a Virgin Mary gawping at you while you're having a shag and passers by gawping at you while you're having a shit??

Not that you would want a shag with the migraine that you would have.

It’s a fantastic expression of the owners’ individuality.

Yeah, but it’s still shit.

Why would you assume everyone else has grey walls and laminates? That’s so weird 😂

The Butler in the bathroom..

Anyone could see past the decor, but they’ll be looking at those photos and be calculating how much it would cost to renovate: ripping up carpets, painting/wallpaper costs, kitchen cabinets, bathroom fittings etc and the majority of people will just skip past because they don’t want to spend thousands of pounds and months getting it to how they want. It’s real estate 101 that you can’t expect to find a buyer who’s has the same lack of taste as you. It’s a textbook reality tv unsellable house.

Ann Maurice would have a field day in there...

So my renovation dates of 1965-1973 wasn’t far off.

I have white wall, oak flooring and chrome fittings
It has been going in my properties since the 80’s

I love it. It's like a giant dolls house

Omg! For the first time ever on one of these threads it's somewhere I know!!!! True to its name Rotton Park Road is bloody horrible! When I was a student I viewed a flat down there and it was unbelievable. Advertised as a studio flat it had a small shared toilet down an unlit, uncarpeted hallway and a shower cubical and oven next to each other
in the flat (room) just resting on top of the wrinkled old carped. Still makes me feel a bit strange thinking about it!

The house is unbelievable though, full commitment to the theme, its quite impressive really! It's all stuff though isn't it...would probably look fab stripped out.

The kitchen actually makes me feel quite stressed - all that stuff everywhere. Not sure why as my kitchen isn't super tidy. All that stuff makes me feel a bit weird and it must be a nightmare to clean.

Omfg the toilet roll holder man!!!
