Beautiful house - but interesting taste on the part of the vendors

Browsing local properties I saw this one Check out the rug(s)....and the wallpaper..........and the shoe cupboard and a few other things.

That house is straight out of my big fat gypsy wedding.....
Speechless

To be fair, it is immaculate. Hours of dusting..... Can you imagine a toddler in there

Northern, I thought the first house would be much worse, but it is fine in a boutique hotel way. Once the furniture comes out, the wallpaper would be much more jarring. But I assume it would be a simple cosmetic job to take it down and repaint or put a different wallpaper.

I would find the kitchen a bit more of a concern. There does not seem to be enough storage! Doesn't look like the previous owners cooked much.

I love it, I would LOVE that house!

I love both if the York houses. The Liverpool one reminds me if the faux-posh woman in Shirley valentine.

Blueshoes - if you look at the floorplan there is a 'pantry' off the kitchen so I think that must account for the majority of the storage. There is also a utility room. Personally I would have included pics of both of those! For the practically minded amongst us

Cunning - your dh is WRONG . In the recent flooding - the second worst in a 100 years, only about 50 properties have been flooded and most of them ALWAYS flood so are prepared. Both the houses linked are at the top of hills. The Priory Street one in particular could be flooded by an end of the world scenario but not otherwise. The flood defences in York are excellent now.

I'm just thinking how chuffed the estate agents will be with me - they'll be able to report tons of hits to their clients

The Crosby house - oh my word! Looks like a decent sie house but it's hard to tell. I would actually be reluctant to view it because it looks like if you move you'll knock something over. Do you reckon the agents told them to declutter

I want that second York house A LOT

I live in York. My teeny terrace does not look anything like either of those houses. I am

Dizzy's link is a sight to behold. Errh...wow!

I bet the owners of the Liverpool house think they've decluttered. It was probably even worse before.

The back garden actually looks like a garden centre. And the rest is like a gaudy nick-nack shop with sofas in it.

Love the second York house.

Lovely house.

oooh, I love that first one, but the kitchen looks odd. Like they have taken an important piece of furniture out.

Hmm. Were going for all white, but I think we need some colour. Must start a thread sometime for advice.

I think it's really nice. Apart from that wallpaper.

I love those houses and I love York. I prefer a detached house though, just in case you get awful neighbours.

The cow rug can go and not keen on the furniture; kitchen sofa, chair or the deep purple. But such a nice light house.

Not my taste, but looks in pristine conditions... I would have to buy a different kitchen though. Plus change the wall papers.

The house itself (outisde) is wonderful

Dizzy's house is incredible!!!

Someone - you can't see terribly well from the picture but it's actually an end terrace so you only have neighbours on one side. Also out the back and across the way is a yummy little medieval church.

Dizzys house picture 2

Love the other 2 houses though , just lovely

No 1 needs a valance sheet!

Ye gods, that house Dizzy linked to is something else!

I like it
