I think this may be one of the most boring houses I've ever seen

here

The house itself is nice I think, a boring but big garden, good basic outline - but the décor..........attack of the 'shove flowery wallpaper up and that will be interesting' combined with THE BIG LETTERS everywhere, a very disappointing kitchen and even some twigs and shit randomly in a vase.

Weird that painting everything magnolia and removing the owners belongings would actually make this a more interesting house!

It's not my style but it's pretty inoffensive when you ignore the matching wallpaper and bed linin

I'd buy it!

PixieGio · 24/02/2016 20:12

Ugh I'd have to do pretty much everything ok... especially that pink and black kitchen Hmm

PixieGio · 24/02/2016 20:12

Everything again not ok!

IShouldBeSoLurky · 24/02/2016 20:12

They've put the letter A in the BATH sign the wrong way round. I can't tell you how much that upsets me.

Bearbehind · 24/02/2016 20:12
Hmm

What a truly bizarre thing to post.

It's fine. Maybe not to everyone's taste but I wouldn't call it 'boring'

Do you not like the vendors or something?

flanjabelle · 24/02/2016 20:13

I like it!! I don't think it's boring at all.

cheapandcheerful · 24/02/2016 20:13

I'd buy it in a shot Blush

Floggingmolly · 24/02/2016 20:15

It's big! You get a lot of bang for your buck up North...

CarcerDun · 24/02/2016 20:15

There is something wrong with the outside shots. The weather in the sky, and the light, is summer, but the house and pavements are Autumn/winter. I can't work it out, have they photoshopped it?

TheHumanSatsuma · 24/02/2016 20:16

I like it. The basics are good. Just needs re decorating-and a new kitchen!

Buckinbronco · 24/02/2016 20:17

Really? I don't think it's any more or less boring than most houses. Boring Is a strange word to use. It's a bit cheap looking though

WidowWadman · 24/02/2016 20:17

York isn't cheap, but 550k for a 4 bed where it is seem steep.

SwedishEdith · 24/02/2016 20:19

God, yes, the sky is weird.

I've seen way worse than that for unimaginative houses. Not my taste but pretty easy to fix quite a lot of it.

snowymountaintops · 24/02/2016 20:19

I always wonder if the owners' of these linked houses ever see their homes up on a forum like this?

It's not boring, just a bit garish. Nothing that a few cans of cream and grey paint wouldn't fix Grin!

tictactoad · 24/02/2016 20:20

Not seeing a problem with it. Looks fine to me.

Quite tidy though. Has it been 'staged'?

Longdistance · 24/02/2016 20:20

There's nothing wrong with the house itself that a lick of paint, and change of wallpaper won't do.

frikadela01 · 24/02/2016 20:21

I was expecting the entire house to be beige. I don't see what's boring about it. Obviously it's not going to be to everyones taste. What a strange post.

Northernlurker · 24/02/2016 20:22

Grin No don't know the vendors.

I'd buy it too, just found it weird when I looked at it how much it grated on me.

Especially the BATH sign Grin

Good god I've seen a lot worse.
Absolutely nothing wrong with it!

BackforGood · 24/02/2016 20:23

I can't see what you are objecting to either Confused

Looks lovely to me - wish I could afford a house with that kind of space.

bibbitybobbityyhat · 24/02/2016 20:24

I would say cliched rather than boring. And will date is already dated very rapidly.

Otherwise I would say lovely house, disappointing garden. Who needs a double garage plus space for 2 cars on the drive?

cashewnutty · 24/02/2016 20:25

The sky is definitely photoshopped. Look at the clouds in pictures 3 & 11. Different aspects, identical clouds!

Sparklycat · 24/02/2016 20:26

It's not boring at all, a lovely house. Is this some kind of reverse thing where you are the owner and secretly want compliments?

Wondermoomin · 24/02/2016 20:28

Well this is rather bitchy, putting up a link to photos of someone's home just to criticise it... Hmm

There's nothing wrong with it, it's similar to lots of houses up and down the country, why pick on this one... Confused

BennyTheBall · 24/02/2016 20:29

Well, the decor is unspeakably naff but it could be easily resolved.
