Lordy! come and look at this very unusual London house

[Mintyy]

It is fugly (I feel sorry for it!) but intriguing and makes a change ... Also, the EA pictures are unspeakably bad. And yet the house has a certain something

here

It's nasty and strange. And "Spurgeon Road": I know we can't all live on Honeysuckle Lane, but God, some road names are so unappealing.

That house has No Soul. And I completely agree it seems set up for a brothel... I was thinking sex party house for sure.

I like it .

Not that I have been in one - but it looks like a swingers house to me. The room in page 20 has massive mirrors and sunken bank, along with bar etc.

Its is quirky and need decor sorting.

Did we spot Pampa's grass there? Off to check.

Lweji you read my mind and beat me to it!

I know that road - it's really quite nice and I can't imagine what all the grilles are about. I quite like some parts of the house, but way too many spotlights and too much beige for me.

The one in Kentish Town is truly hideous, though.

The security grilles would worry me .I though Upper Norwood was OK? And theres a lot of corridor/hallway
The outside wouldnt bother me but I've lived in a nondescript box for 27 years (its nice inside!)

I really like it

I rather like the OP's house. But the one in Kentish Town is revolting.

this is fugly

It's not ugly. It's just in need of soft furnishing and love . I like it.

both those homes with the low slope roof are typical of the 70's. both need updating but have potential. more a matter of the price of the house and the price of the update....is it worth it?? the bars on all the windows indicated a much more serious problem :(

I like the first one. You would need to put in globe-like white chairs, have a white fluffy cat and invite Austin Powers round, but I do like it. Apart from the grills.

Perhaps the bars on the windows indicate some other sort of criminal activity going on there? .

I absolutely love 60s houses - they are in such short supply in London though.

i quite like the first one. It's too beige, but at least it makes a change. Bars on the windows, spa and reception - yup, definitely something dodgy there.

You'd need to work with it, bond villain armchairs and 70s leather corner sofas. It would be a car crash with tasteful grey walls and stripey stairs, or whatever the latest thing is now.

It's completely grim. Yuk.

It could have been great but it's been done up on the cheap by someone who has sourced all their finishes from Travis Perkins. A real missed opportunity. I know that area slightly and it seems a bit toppy in terms of price.

Upper Norwood IS ok, which means either the owners are strange/paranoid or they have some heavy neighbours. Or they're drug dealers.

The Essex house is hideously decorated but lots of potential - that hallway is fantastic!

Would you mind not linking to my house

Oh which one is yours?

I hope it isn't the Kentish Town one.

Tell us you're joking, sugar.

Why is the loo seat up in one photo, down in the next?! Has the photographer been for a poo halfway through?!

Wind-up merchant!
