Totally lust after this house

[Northernlurker]

It was sold a couple of years ago but it needed work then. Now it's back. SO GORGEOUS! Anybody want to lend me about 2.2 million?

omg, Pipbin, well spotted re the furniture swapping.

Which makes me wonder what is wrong with the rest of the house if they are going to that much effort for one room?

The unicorn is special.

I love the first one. But the second one? wow!!! even better!

The outside is wonderful, the decor is just, blah, very put together and mismatch.

bigkids I love that bathroom - I want it yeah, yeah, the rest of the house is ok too

Give me a two up two down anyway...that's not a home

I want the library nook

I'm starting to develop a liking for tweed cushions now too. I'm going to have to buy some (which is the closest I'll get to any of those houses atm)

Kitchen is awful, what were they thinking? everything else is lovely.

I like Arts and Crafts but not sold on the interior of that house - I like the original features but the rest is not to my taste, particularly the purple kitchen, what were they thinking?

Love the Scottish house bigkids linked to though - if I had a spare 1.75m I'd be in there

I actually like the purple kitchen

Also at the 'mock style' remark. That's the whole arts and crafts movement knackered then.

Ha, I also live in YO24 and my house does not look like that. I love it... Reckon they'd swap for a knackered semi?

Eew. Is that artex on the ceiling? It's horrible and big and not homely at all.

No that's NOT artex. That's ' the elaborate plasterwork by George Bankart' and is a top class period feature.

A bit dark for me and I don't like the purple.

I like it Northern, when you are in residence I'd like Pimms and croquet on the lawn in the summer please, and then in the winter hot toddy in front of a roaring fire after a bracing walk!

You would HAVE to play Croquet wouldn't you? It's probably in the deeds or something.

I must be weird because I love the wood panelling, but it looks so draughty. We'd rattle around in it.

And the boys would still cover every inch of floor with lego.

And I do love a wedding cake ceiling, but not on quite such a large scale!

Yep, it screams Croquet on the lawn and those wicker Lloyd Loom (?) chairs.

The interior is awful but lovely from the outside.

"No that's NOT artex. That's ' the elaborate plasterwork by George Bankart' and is a top class period feature."

Well...He obviously wasn't very talented was he?

If you miss out - you could always play croquet at the National Trust house nearby - not quite the same as on one's own lawn but fun anyway.

Well...He obviously wasn't very talented was he?

Yeah because your standard artexer can do this:

I'm currently making my way through the Forsyte Saga box set. This house matches perfectly - love it!

I also dream of a garden like that.

Btw you can change the decor but is there an Edvard Munch scream emoticon for the person who said it was mock / they'd gut it?
