Photo 38... also, watch the video - you’re welcome Grin

Why am I picturing the owner as an old bloke in far too tight jeans, converse and a v bright floral print shirt, who thinks he can still get away with passing as 40?

@pheasantsinlove there may be more exotic uses, but in this case it's just the steps up to the cupboard beds. Cute enclosed beds, a bit like a bunk bed/den.

Glad I don't have to change the sheets though. Nightmare.

The first 15 or so photos are so devoid of colour I thought they'd took the photos in black and white. Whoever said it looks like a 1960's sci-fi set was spot on.

inappropriateraspberry · 07/04/2021 08:18

They used the wrong music - should have been 2001 Space Odyssey/Strauss.
Also it looks like a mash up of Star Wars, Logan's Run and Dr Who. Imagine cleaning all that stainless steel!
The agent needs less photos and a shorter video, I got bored with both half way through.

AlwaysLatte · 07/04/2021 08:32

As musicians I'm surprised they have their guitars in a room with no soft surfaces as at all. Such a bouncy sound! Also, drop a teaspoon anywhere and the whole household will know about it!

Trixie78 · 07/04/2021 08:35

What a souless house, your money goes a long way in that area though!

Pottedpalm · 07/04/2021 08:37

So cold and soulless; I couldn’t live there. And the stainless steel toilet .. ugh! Like an abbatoir.

Ladybigbeach · 07/04/2021 08:42

No natural light whatsoever- I couldn’t last a day!

starfishmummy · 07/04/2021 08:50

Thise steos uo to the en suite - I'd be falling up or down them. And was there a door or are you sitting on the loo in full view of anyone in the bed??

ElinoristhenewEnid · 07/04/2021 08:58

Did I see 2 toilets side by side in one room?

GCAcademic · 07/04/2021 08:58

@SweetAsANutt

This house actually scares me.
Same here. I’ve never been actually creeped out by a house in this way before. If I’d been on a date with someone and ended up going back to this place with them, I’d be terrified,
ElinoristhenewEnid · 07/04/2021 09:00

Just relooked at picture 31 - one is a bidet!

RaiseTheBeastie · 07/04/2021 09:08

OMG the video 😂😂😂

Thanks op, that's cheered me right up this morning 🤣

sbhydrogen · 07/04/2021 09:12

I think pic 38 is so you can put on your walking boots and climb over a small hill so you know if they fit. Like in a branch of Cotwolds.

ChessieFL · 07/04/2021 09:30

Good grief. Where is all the colour?! It’s actually a shock to get to the picture with the coloured sofa as everything else is so colourless. The video is a treat - that music!

You could only live there if you could afford regular cleaners, otherwise you would spend your whole life wiping down that stainless steel.

NoseOfJericho · 07/04/2021 09:39

This is the third thread with this house on. Hopefully it will sell quickly and we can be free of the hideous thing.

CentBoppers · 07/04/2021 10:01

@Pollypudding

The thread you have linked to is very weird and confusing but isn't about this house is it?

Where is the moat, and the footpath?

Jocasta2018 · 07/04/2021 10:10

Well they've obviously spent a ton of money but it's not to my taste... As a PP previously said, it's a prison/submarine.
I'd be interested to see how long it's on the market for.
I did like how the cinema room also contains the gym equipment - your family can veg out whilst watching you slog away...

That was me 👍

Oh @NoseOfJericho I’m so sorry I’ve absolutely ruined your day to the extent that you needed to comment/moan. Just scroll past...

@DadAManger I really feel you owe us more of an explanation of this installation you talk of!

I agree with the sci- Fi comments, I also thought OMG the fingerprints at first but then I moved towards thinking it looks like to perfect place to commit murder or something from the hunger games...

I do beg your pardon, I mistook this place as a discussion forum.
However, if it had been clear in the title that it was about the house that has now been the subject of 4 or 5 threads, I would have scrolled past, but it wasn't clear until I had opened it.

altiara · 08/04/2021 00:41

It’s for medal ceremonies!

Will save the video for tomorrow in case it’s scary.

dancinfeet · 08/04/2021 00:45

I thought that the kitchen looked like it was more for carrying out autopsies than cooking in, far too clinical. And then that very very ordinary street view from the roof was so strange after all that indoor weirdness. (Off to look again, to check out the mounting block)

dancinfeet · 08/04/2021 00:47

And the steel toilets remind me of british rail station toilets, circa 1983

It looks like an ideal house for a serial killer. Lots of wipe down and waterproof surfaces.
