The house is beautiful... The colours inside a questionable! I like the kitchen though...

Bunbaker · 20/08/2014 08:40

The interior is a bit too white, but I don't find it off putting. I like pastel colours and understated decor anyway. Light and airy all the way for me.

The outside is very pretty.

She's come a long way since The Darling Buds

I like it though.

Shall we have a whip-round?

Middleagedmotheroftwo · 20/08/2014 08:55

She's come an even longer way since she lived in Skewen!

The house isn't particularly ostentatious, and not all that bit, considering though I don't suppose it's their only house

burnishedsilver · 20/08/2014 09:06

It looks lived in. I like that.
I have to admit her stylist is better than her decorater.

tobiasfunke · 20/08/2014 09:10

Oh my that is a beautiful house.I agree the decor is rubbish. A sea of greige.

Bunbaker · 20/08/2014 09:11

Apart from the aubergine room I don't understand what is so awful about the decor. I don't like loud, intrusive decor.

SwedishEdith · 20/08/2014 10:19

I don't like it. Location is fantastic but the house would be a No from me I keep seeing MD pounding away on that treadmill

wowfudge · 20/08/2014 10:21

I think it's gorgeous - looks and feels like a home.

TheGoop · 20/08/2014 10:25

I like that she appears to have a room full of Ikea Sofas!

It just looks like the furniture is plonked in the middle of those big rooms.

Surely that's just one of the guest houses? Not their main house ?!?! It's way too small and overlooked to be their main home !!!!

Crutchlow35 · 20/08/2014 18:56

Oh, the outside looks like the house from the 90's remake of miracle on 34th street.

Crutchlow35 · 20/08/2014 18:58

I love it inside.

Capitola · 20/08/2014 20:05

Lovely house, hideous decor.

Bunbaker · 20/08/2014 21:05

Why is the decor so hideous, apart from the aubergine coloured room?

Is it too bland for you?

juneybean · 20/08/2014 21:06

Est. Mortgage:
$31,124/mo

....jesus

Holidayfun · 20/08/2014 21:10

Love it, decor isn't quite to my taste but don't understand what's hideous about it?

JillJ72 · 20/08/2014 23:43

Generator for the hole property..... erm......

LondonGirl83 · 21/08/2014 08:19

MiddleAgedMother the house is 6,600 sft. It's very big. Given it also on 6 acres it's not likely to be overlooked at all.

Seems like a nice house with pretty neutral decor. Like others, don't understand those saying it's 'hideous'

audrey01 · 22/08/2014 19:24

I also like the house, simple decor but nicely done.
Having said that, I wonder when celebrities' houses are up for sale, aren't these all staged up by interior designers to make them somewhat neutral decor-wise?
I find it difficult to believe celebrities would leave their stuff in plain view for everyone to have a good look through...
