Missed opportunity... What do you think of this house?

I'm getting serious house envy!

I house that we viewed over two years ago, has just come back onto the market. All done up. And it looks amazing!!! Made me wish we'd bought it instead of our house. It is really that great or does anyone fancy ripping into it to tell me all things wrong with it?

It is beautifully styled and looks simply stunning, but it's the bricks and mortar you're buying at the end of the day not the contents!

Spam88 · 18/10/2017 15:06

I actually don’t like it. I think the exterior is quite ugly and I hate the kitchen/diner/lounge. It lacks any cosiness whatsoever. The garden looks ok with a bit of work.

That bathroom wallpaper is an assault on the eyes.

Bubblebubblepop · 18/10/2017 15:08

I love it. It's beautiful

I'm sure your house is too though OP Smile

And it has two something or other systems. What are they? And does it matter if I don't even have one in my house?

It has two Megaflow systems... They are pressurised hot water systems, so it means there is a proper system to provide enough hot water for that many bathrooms, and they are on separate loops, so you can run all 4 showers at once and get proper pressure from them all, or turn one loop off if you aren't using those bathrooms and therefore not have to pay to heat water you don't need to use

Megaflow systems are brilliant, because you don't get the noise of a shower pump, and they are very energy efficient

Love it, sorry. Only thing I can say is the outside look of the house isn't to my taste, but that's a stretch! Totally way out of my budget.
The house is beautifully dressed which adds to its appeal, very aspirational.

sinceyouask · 18/10/2017 15:17

One of those bathrooms is foul
I hate the chandeliers
The garden is meh

SilverSpot · 18/10/2017 15:24

Is that laminate flooring?????

SilverSpot · 18/10/2017 15:25

Love the layout.
Love the fireplaces.

Don't really like the kitchen, most of the bathrooms or the light fittings.

SilverSpot · 18/10/2017 15:26

Don't like the window between the family room and the garage. Why? Just plaster that up!

SilverSpot · 18/10/2017 15:27

Don't like that there isn't a shower in the 'family' bathrrom

RosyPony · 18/10/2017 15:29

Where's the garden?
House IS lovely but it looks like it's on the road and it's on a tiny plot.

ExConstance · 18/10/2017 15:30

The kitchen units are horrible - very chi chi.

Landed · 18/10/2017 15:30

All the money and the tiles over the porch look dodgy! Garden too closed in too neighbours hearing every cough. It is lovely on the front if you ignore how close it is to the little fencing though!

BeTheHokeyMan · 18/10/2017 15:32

Its a bit footballers wives isn't it Confused

MissDuke · 18/10/2017 15:32

It is gorgeous, beautiful home! Personally, the kitchen isn't to my taste. Also not keen on the chandeliers or the marble bathroom tiles and the awful paper in the other bathroom. I love the exterior though, looks like a lovely street.

Could you have afforded to do all that? If not, you aren't missing out!

Landed · 18/10/2017 15:33

Oh no just re looked, megaflow systems give me house envy!

PurpleTraitor · 18/10/2017 15:33

It's fifty shades of grey Grin

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 18/10/2017 15:36

Lovely house, but it's all greyed out !
Loving the funky bathroom.

SilverSpot · 18/10/2017 15:37

megaflow systems give me house envy!

I would love one!

whoopwhoop21 · 18/10/2017 15:41

I really like the decor, very much my taste, love the wallpaper! The outside is not as amazing & I would want to redo the kitchen back bit, can't see any sliding doors.

LillyLollyLandy · 18/10/2017 15:51

I don’t like it. It’s a bit like they’ve picked every trend they could find on Instagram and shoved it into one house. It doesn’t feel very cohesive.

Does that help?

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 18/10/2017 15:52

Is that a sex swing in the gymWink

sparechange · 18/10/2017 15:56

silver
There is, it is the other side of the wall to the walk in wardrobe...

EskiVodkaCranberry · 18/10/2017 15:58

It’s too grey! It will date really badly!

You did well to escape it!

bakingaddict · 18/10/2017 16:00

The kitchen is really odd. It seems quite small but the kitchen island is huge. Looks all out of proportion. Liked the bedroom and living room but hated that bathroom
