Just noseying on Rightmove - how did any of this get past building regs? I thought the lack of handrail on the stairs was bad enough until I saw the landing!

Crikey… that made my legs go funny! I hate heights tho! Feedback will be interesting I’m sure!

That carpet probably cost a pretty penny but by God is it hideous!

As for the landing, that makes me shudder the thought of children or someone unsteady on their feet.

HarryBlackberry1 · 01/10/2023 21:51

Yikes! Imagine sleepwalking. What could possibly go wrong.

PenelopeTheShroudWeaver · 01/10/2023 21:52

I have never sleepwalked in my life but this house has just unlocked a new fear

CirceIsMyHomegirl · 01/10/2023 21:53

All of the carpets in that house should be illegal.

Dramatic · 01/10/2023 21:54

Jesus that's a death trap! Imagine having kids in that house 😬

WTAF?

FacebookGroupDrama · 01/10/2023 21:55

Oh god it's like bad vivid dreams

Inertia · 01/10/2023 21:55

It reminded me of a scaled-down version of all those open walkways in the Death Star.

I thought that was in some way ‘illegal’- I don’t think they’ll actually be able to sell it as it is.

That’s giving me a headache! I almost looks like an optical illusion.

User0000009 · 01/10/2023 21:57

It looks like an old folks home

Inertia · 01/10/2023 21:58

Do the estate agents have to get viewers to sign some kind of injury indemnity/waiver, like when you take your kids trampolining?

Picture 23 really tipped me over the edge!

PinkiOcelot · 01/10/2023 21:58

That carpet is vile. All those swags and tie backs are vile too. They might have money but lack taste.

those stairs and landing are stuff of nightmares!

AThickLayerOfLard · 01/10/2023 21:59

Terrifying!
I thought the stairs were bad enough but the upstairs landing made me feel queasy.

WinkyisbackontheButterBeer · 01/10/2023 22:00

Oohh. The thought of walking up there made my bits go funny.

IfYouDontAsk · 01/10/2023 22:01

Thanks OP, I actually feel a bit sick now Grin

NoNoHellaNoNoHellaNoNo · 01/10/2023 22:02

Bowden though, lovely area.

SkaneTos · 01/10/2023 22:02

Is that legal? Looks really dangerous!

That’s exactly what I thought @User0000009

FrangipaniBlue · 01/10/2023 22:03

Decor is hideous but weirdly I love the house! It's very quirky.....

donkra · 01/10/2023 22:03

Man, if that isn't living proof of money not buying taste I don't know what is.

Elderflower14 · 01/10/2023 22:04

As a VERY clumsy dyspraxic who struggles with stairs and balance that house would be my worst nightmare
