Is this what you’d consider to be a ‘middle class’ style house?

[Inburess]

or is it just run of the mill these days?

Ignoring the bland decor and weird grey room, it's a perfectly decent house and a lot more house than the majority of people are living in.

Consider whether the house suits your needs - family, budget and lifestyle - before you worry about what others might think. The decor, you can change, so focus on location and floor plan.

A settee belongs in a front room!

Teeny tiny garden too, for the size of the house. Most middle class people I know have land, some have acres of it. Not a postage stamp back garden.

.

Definitely not upper class, it has a WC not a lavatory.

Upper middle class for sure

What do you want people to think about you?

Ha. I don't think so. People desperate to appear MC wouldn't have that decor and hot tub. The aspiring MC abhors a hot tub.
Looks to me like the house of people with enough money to have their house the way they want it with the things they want in it, who couldn't give a monkeys about class.

I do not associate middle class with land owning.

More with Victorian semis or detacheds in the south-east with teal blue front parlours and too many pictures on the wall.

nooo, front room has a sofa, a lounge has a settee

It's in the middle of some gorgeous countryside. Many people would want to live there for that or simply for where their family is settled.

Be able to fit my run down little slum of a house in there about 6 times with room to spare. In fact you could buy around 4 or 5 houses on my street for that amount of money.

It does look a bit like a MN house, the sort you get on the kitchen threads, is that what you wanted OP

It wouldn't be band F here but G. Decent size plot.

Nice middle class home but it's a cramped plot. All that money on decor for a small garden, its a bit fur coat no keks

I tend to notice if people are enjoying their house rather than judging their class. Do they have a pizza oven / hobby herb garden / makeshift art studio / sports equipment / ongoing fun DIY / a Dutch tile collection / lived-in, messy or sociable spaces with books or board games and comfortable seating and little tables / a set of family bikes, or whatever

It’s not what I’d call middle class. It’s got good bones but the decor / interior design does not say middle class.

Also why is new money used negatively? It just means you actually worked for your wealth rather than acquired or inherited.

and to answer your question @Inburess , no its not a MC house. That would be a double fronted victorian or Georgian house with a good bit of land

Are you referring to the price of the house or the decor ?
It's well out of a lot of people's price ranges (myself included).

"Middle class" i think is a broad brush

Indeed. I’m so glad to be Irish, we don’t have this ridiculous obsession with class.

What the fuck is a middle class house? And why the fuck are people so obsessed with labelling themselves middle class? Can't you just live your life and like whatever you like rather than whatever you feel curated to like in order to appear sufficiently middle class?

I don't like the house. I'm not a fan of new build Barratt type houses and I don't like the layout or decor.

Agreed. Being ‘new money’ is nothing to be ashamed of. It means you’ve worked for your money instead of inheriting it from other people.

Can you easily get to a good city or enjoyable countryside or is it a Suburban Trap? I fear suburbs.

Where I live now is a tiny fraction of the space where I grew up, but both were in interesting cities and not far from nice walks.

no, it means you have no taste

Houses say nothing about you

This is the same size as mine. just 4 miles up the road, only we dont have gates
