It's fun. Some bits I really like though most of I don't. I'd buy the house and then change a lot of things - especially the decor - which would then ruin it by making it more ordinary. So, on the whole, I'll leave it but take some inspiration from it.

Gardens nice

That's not a house, it's a bunker!

Bella2020 · 19/05/2020 13:53

Needs totally gutting inside, but I'd buy it fir the outside space alone!

Thisisshit4567 · 19/05/2020 13:53

It's got real 'scene of a terrible crime' vibes, if that's your thing, go for it!

DarkUnicorn · 19/05/2020 13:57

Wow, it’s errr unique haha. Lots of potential, what’s the area like? Are you local to it?

AnneKipanki · 19/05/2020 13:57

Interesting.

earthyfire · 19/05/2020 13:59

The rooms look like recreations from various movies. I couldn't live there.

Jointhecircus · 19/05/2020 14:00

Well it’s pretty weird, but if you’re used to UK property prices it’s absolute bargain, especially with that garden, so it’s hard to judge really!

TomBradysLeftKneecap · 19/05/2020 14:01

No thanks. You couldn’t pay me to live in Pittsburgh.

UnfinishedSymphon · 19/05/2020 14:01

OMG! That's the fuggliest house I've ever seen, you're joking ...aren't you?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 19/05/2020 14:03

It's like a Tardis (only good point)
But inside - Deck of the Starship Enterprise meets Hallowe'en house of horror meets Jumanji meets hrrible hotel room.
The kitchen is like a submarine galley.
My cats would love the sand pit .

Its a "No" from me

CovidicusRex · 19/05/2020 14:04

I don’t get it. Is there sone kind of in joke I’m missing?

PhoneLock · 19/05/2020 14:05

When were the pictures taken? 1972?

Truthpact · 19/05/2020 14:06

Ew...

Smartcasual · 19/05/2020 14:07

The serial killer says he's moving out on Tues then it's all yours.

Owned by a witch? Look like an altar on top of the purple cloth.

BeenHereForAges · 19/05/2020 14:08

That whole house is very fucking confusing.

YinMnBlue · 19/05/2020 14:11

That's hilarious!

And the bedroom is so...naffly ordinary.

I picture some sort of Big Bang Theory reject young man having created his fantasy home.

ChocolateChipMuffin2016 · 19/05/2020 14:12

I need a floor plan, I cannot work it out. It hurts my head

SoupDragon · 19/05/2020 14:13

Completely bonkers! I love it 😂

I am particularly fond of the spaceship section and what appears to be an indoor beach,

Far better than boring old greige (although not to everyone's taste!!)

KingOfDogShite · 19/05/2020 14:13

Are you harvesting clicks or what? It’s a ticking monstrosity.

RantyAnty · 19/05/2020 14:18

What a dump.

I imagine it's all up to building code and would pass an inspection. Confused

WidowTwonky · 19/05/2020 14:18

The gardens not huge

To really want this house
WitchQueenofDarkness · 19/05/2020 14:21

I rather like it and a great price compared with around here

Going to look awful though once it's empty so will unfortunately need a complete redecorate which would be a shame.
