I don't like the decor, but the building itself is really quirky!

Also, the video tour is quite something and should definitely be viewed with sound on.

So the only personal possessions are the shirts, caps and guitars. And the odd fire extinguisher.
Who lives in a house like this?
It looks like it is unoccupied (as too stark and depressing!) apart from a single bloke staying there to keep an eye on the place in return for very reduced rent.

I have the same kettle Grin
I agree, all that shiny stuff would really stress me out as well.

Open the pod bay doors, please, HAL.

What a joyless existence

kitkat71 · 06/04/2021 18:49

I totally could not imagine living in it, it really is the stuff of nightmares and the toilet/shower situation are so many levels of wrong!

I'm assuming it was either designed for a submariner, or to look like a submarine - neither create the relaxing home environment I dream of.

It looks like a prison and there is no natural light anywhere!! Horrible!

Crikey. American Psycho's weekend home!

This is the second RM listing I've seen with those metal toilets and basins - gives me is 1980's British Rail train toilet vibes. All that's missing is the tracing paper toilet roll......

"Ooh, you can't buy that it's not white or silver!"

@Merryoldgoat

It looks like a murderer’s house.
This.

Not sure I want a house I can hose down

Bettysnow · 06/04/2021 18:50

Ugh woeful. Reminds me of a morgue or some sort of weird creepy place straight from a nightmare!lol

SarahBellam · 06/04/2021 18:51

Wonder who owns it. Know any up and coming singers/bands from Gateshead? You’d need to be a pretty serious player to have that many guitars.

kitkat71 · 06/04/2021 18:53

@TestingTestingWonTooFree the stairs to nowhere seem to take you to a couple of sleeping pods, but I might be wrong.

Also, for clarification I quite like the building itself, and there seem to be some interesting original features, like the cast iron columns, but no way on this earth would I think that the interior design is to my taste!

It's very 'submarine', and whilst I like the quirky windows/doors etc, not sure about the clinical look throughout. Rather too hard and stark looking for my liking, unless of course it has a lovely big garden, in which case I'll forgive pretty much anything if it's affordable.

IHateCoronavirus · 06/04/2021 18:56

It just looks so airless, I imagine it smells of camphor.

takingmytimeonmyride · 06/04/2021 19:00

It's like a horror film in an asylum. The toilets! The bedrooms/padded cells with mirrors for the staff to check on you. The white everywhere.

Loved the music video though.

DoingItMyself · 06/04/2021 19:00

Looks like room after room without windows.
Great place for a clean-freak.

toomanyplants · 06/04/2021 19:01

Bizarre, like a spaceship for aliens who need no toilet privacy

Aquamarine1029 · 06/04/2021 19:01

I assume countless organs have been harvested in that kitchen.

SweetAsANutt · 06/04/2021 19:03

No, the toilets look like prison or public toilets.

Arrowheart · 06/04/2021 19:04

Its fabulous!

speakout · 06/04/2021 19:05

Like a horror movie- living inside a dental surgery!!

Hahaha! Dread to think what or who is lurking behind the door with the key lock on it 😱 💀 ⚰️ 🪚🪓🔪💉
BewareTheBeardedDragon · 06/04/2021 19:05

Wow, there's literally nothing I like about that house. The kitchen, the toilet, the vinyl, the spiral stairs, the stupidly shaped doors. It looks like it would a death trap as soon as you've had a drink or if you want to go between rooms when you're half asleep - or potentially just if you meet the owner. I suppose at least bloodstains would show up on the white so that gives some level of reassurance but with all the stainless steel who knows. I cannot comprehend how anyone could ever have actually sat down and thought 'gosh don't you just love a public toilet stainless steel bowl with no seat - Wouldnt you just love to use one every single day' ConfusedConfusedEnvyConfusedConfused
