Please look at this house that came up on my Rightmove search today 😂

Only buy it if the sheep are included in the sale.

wowfudge · 18/07/2020 08:54

Only if they agree to leave the sheep and take all the fake plants with them.

Bluebird1234 · 18/07/2020 08:55

Wonder how much of the outside garden is plastic? But nice if you take all the plastic topiary away

thedaytodayyesterday · 18/07/2020 08:55

Why is the furniture all at jaunty angles? Also, topiary overload! But none of that comes with the house, which seems lovely 😊

AngusThermopyle · 18/07/2020 08:58

They certainly like the 'bring the outside in' style. 😂😂

Weenurse · 18/07/2020 08:58

That is staged within an inch of its life.
Good sized rooms, garden looks like a lot of work though.
I also like the sheep.

Alsohuman · 18/07/2020 08:59

Wow. That’s unusual.

Crumpets111 · 18/07/2020 09:00

If all the fake plants go then yes!

SchrodingersImmigrant · 18/07/2020 09:01

This is how much greenery I wanted inside.
But bastards keep dying.
I guess owners had a same problem😂

Bluntness100 · 18/07/2020 09:01

I quite like that as it’s so batshit. It’s like someone put a bit of topiary in, thought that looks nice then didn’t know when to stop,,,🤣

MariaDingbat · 18/07/2020 09:03

In fairness to them, the outside gardens are lovely.

FilthyforFirth · 18/07/2020 09:04

Who likes this much fake plants?!? Crazy. But the actual house looks very nice!

BurnIt · 18/07/2020 09:05

How do they even sit on the sofa with that many cushions! It's a lovely house though even with all the plants/dustcatchers

PrincessPain · 18/07/2020 09:09

I want the sheep too 😅

Justgivemesomepeace · 18/07/2020 09:11

Somewhere under that lot is a really lovely house! I also love the sheep.

BrieAndChilli · 18/07/2020 09:13

Underneath the plants the house is quite tastefully/neutrally decorated. The clutter will all go with them. It’s not like it’s an avocado bathroom, bright pink kitchen and different wallpaper on every wall.

Haretodaygonetomorrow · 18/07/2020 09:13

What’s going on with the window dressings? Is it just fabric draped along the top?

msbevvy · 18/07/2020 09:15

The room with the fewest fake plants is the one where they would look least out of place. The conservatory.

MistyGreenAndBlue · 18/07/2020 09:16

I like a bit of faux greenery myself but you know... KNOW WHEN TO STOP!
otherwise looks nice and well cared for.

Ditch the sheep. They'll be sickly living on fake grass Grin

Shedbuilder · 18/07/2020 09:16

Mystery solved. Always wondered who bought all that nasty plastic topiary/ fake plants tat from gift shops and now we know.

Fudgewhizz · 18/07/2020 09:17

That's either a lot of watering or a lot of dusting.

But yeah, buy it - Frodsham is nice!

Shedbuilder · 18/07/2020 09:18

Just noticed the sitting room, where you can't sit on the sofa or armchairs because they're so covered in cushions.

ElsieMc · 18/07/2020 09:21

Nothing unresolvable there op. Or you might prefer it to be Christmas everyday in the living room. I lived near someone who had plastic sheep in the front garden, and cows on the fake grass.

I don't really get all this faux flower stuff, it's everywhere at the moment in hair salons etc. I like topiary but the topiary at Levens Hall, Milnthorpe.

squanderedcore · 18/07/2020 09:22

I would wonder what defect the topiary is trying to distract me from...so I'd be looking for cracks in the chimney, subsidence, bad drains, a leak in the roof, appalling neighbours... #cynical

squanderedcore · 18/07/2020 09:23

Love Levens Hall topiary btw!
