To wonder where you would put anything down in this house...?

[CheshireSplat]

... and to be very disappointed in the kitchen! What a let down.

House in the OP. Why is the kitchen so normal compared to the rest of the house

Priory Grove London house I actually quite like

I have a headache looking at that, I love boho which can be over the top but that is just pseudo Buckingham palace squeezed into a tiny house.

It’s Edwardian, the style I mean.

Sitting here surrounded by packing boxes for my imminent house move, I can stop thinking about the amount of work it's going to be to pack all that stuff up.

The kitchen, obviously. You would put things down in the kitchen. Until you ran out of kitchen, and then the kitchen would match the rest of the place!

@londonmummy1966 I’m getting very bad vibes from the priory grove house, not the front door or kitchen but every other picture - anyone else?

It's all the puppets...and the icons. Too many faces

The house itself is gorgeous. The decorating? It’s like old money decor meets an episode of Hoarders. Where is Marie Kondo when you need her? This ain’t sparking any joy here. lol.

P.S. is that a washing machine in the kitchen? Or a dishwasher? I’ve never seen a dishwasher like that. But I’m in the states so maybe it’s a UK thing?

is that a washing machine in the kitchen? Or a dishwasher?

The one with the porthole is a front loading wash machine which is standard in the U.K. the thin sliver of white on the edge is the obscured view of the dishwasher :)

I absolutely love it! But only to visit, I couldn’t live like that.

And,Myles, the kitchen really isn’t in keeping with the rest of the property. Quite jarring, actually.

Darbysmama, it is a washing machine. It is quite normal to have them in the kitchen in most of the world, especially in a flat, when there isn’t space for a laundry room.

I love both of the linked houses, although there is visible dust in the second! I couldn’t live with that much stuff but I would enjoy visiting. The kitchen in the house linked in the OP is rather jarringly pedestrian!

I'd hate to live with all that stuff, even if someone else was cleaning it.
The house & garden are great, tho, and the kitchen is okay with me.

A slight de-clutter and i think it's lovely!

What the hell is that pink thing in the corner of picture 6

The first house is a minders take on a Victorian parlour
. Lots of individual chairs and nick nacks.

I think it's a puppet of Punch.

I think it's beautiful, I absolutely love it!
Different to all the acres of plain grey that you usually see .
It's clearly kept very clean and dust free. Gorgeous!

Both sets of decor give me the heebie-jeebies.
I'd see through it, tho, if I was thinking of buying a property.

Garden is amazing but otherwise I’d pass. Imagine having more than two people in the house- you’d constantly be shuffling past each other.

That house is 2.5 miles from me.

Would make me dizzy.

Once the room sizes are good and all that awful furniture is gone, plus their garden which is in pots it would be fine.

Looking at those makes me feel like I'm on a rollercoaster...

Love the garden but the decor inside of the house makes me feel breathless (and I’m not a minimalist).

It’s fabulous- kitchen needs work though

Lovely to see a house decorated with personality rather than the dull boring “tasteful” minimalism that’s so prevalent nowadays

I thought that Estate Agents always suggest moving personal items and keeping the place as neutral as possible when selling? That place would give me the heeby-jeebies and I certainly am not the tidiest person in the world. Imagine having young kids or clumsy cats there? nightmare

I mean, it certainly isn’t the kind of home I could live in, but it’s kind of amazing in its own way. It does make it hard to see beyond the decor tho, for the potential buyer.
