Please, I need someone to come and marvel at this house. It could be fabulous. Instead, it is absolutely bloody fantastical...

I am awed.

It's like someone ate the contents of Laura Ashley and Dunelm Mill and then vomited them all over a house!

I gotta agree the house is certainly "lived in". Nothing that a skip and dark glasses wouldn't cure.

Weird layout, imho.

Two sets of stairs from the ground floor; maybe one is for the maid. Six bedrooms, but only two bathrooms, both on the first floor. No loo on the ground floor or on the 2nd floor.

umm I quite like the kitchen and the first pale blue and cream room..then saw the rest of it!!

Love the house, but would need to gut it and make bedroom 6 another bathroom.

This cheers me up and takes my mind off house woe - it's so splendidly awful!

the funny thing is after all the fabric and cushions and shite in the house, the yard is bleak and minimalist and paved. Odd combination. There is actually a lovely house under all the frills and twee crap though.

It has a lovely warm feeling though. And very clean despite the clutter.

I imagine that if I were to visit this house Ma Larkin would meet me at the door with a freshly baked cake .I would love to be a member of the family who sits downs all together in the cosy living room with lots of sofas to chose from. I think it probably looks worse in photos than in real life given the amount of furniture etc.

Once you're past the shite, it's a nice house.

Second that odd disparity between the fuss of the house and the bleak garden, if one can call it that. We spent two years on the garden before turning to the house, bar evicting the bloody awful vertical blinds asap.
Time well spent.

The cluttered one is a bit scary (I hate cleaning and omg it must take ages to clean around all that lot). But not nearly as scary as the beige one which is just hideous!

Toomuchtea that's like living in a blancmange, DH's dream. He gets twitchy at the thought of colour, luckily after 8 years with me he trusts my judgement otherwise I would be living in a very similar house.

Thank god I don't have to clean it - soooo much "stuff". Nightmare, but underneath it looks like a fantastic big house.
