What on Earth is that shell ??

What is that shell all about ??

Could that be called a rotunda in the kitchen?

I do have a tendency to catastrophise and I can imagine lying in the shell bath having a soak and then the lid clamps down shut and I can’t get out. What a watery way to go

I think my mum would love that house! Parts of my childhood home were styled in a similar way, although in a much cheaper way.

I can’t understand how if the fittings were put in in the seventies, it all still looks so new and shiny.

And are there three hobs in the kitchen?

I love the house actually, although I would want to redecorate a little.

Interesting that the TVs are all the old chunky style. And the trouser press. It's utterly hideous.

Wowsers - that's 5 white bathroom suites to shell out for.

That kitchen: my eyes. Having said that, it looks really well looked after and in good nick.

I'm a bit disappointed that with all those coloured bathroom suites, they didn't manage to squeeze in an avocado one.

I suspect the bathroom choices pre-date avocado. The raspberry ripple one is hideous.

That pink bathroom suite reminds me of a vulva.

Can imagine it now.

'Am just having a bath Mum'
'Which bath?'
'The fanny bath'

Wow. Even Liberace might have found the shell monstrosity complete with golden leaping dolphins and deep shag pile surround a bit much! Those bidets look like they’ve been thrown in at random

I actually quite like the retro decor but think a lot of the furniture looks cheap and nasty. So much naff orange pine.

I wonder what the original house was like before it was extended? I like to think they just built around it and you could peel off the outer shell and there it would be inside, perfectly intact

Three things:

1. it's awful
2. love how they've left their fags out
3. I absolutely adore the tree root coffee table

Is it just me, but are the pictures of the pool and garden in summer actual family photos, not ones taken by the estate agent?
The whole house made me feel a bit sad - it seems frozen in time - the décor, the oldfashioned tvs, the trouser press - like it once was full of life and joy (40 odd years ago) and is now empty and for sale.

I love the décor, it should be kept as a living museum of a time nearly forgotten. (nostalgic old trout)

It would make a fabulous film set for films about 70/80s nouveau riche.

Oh my. That's all rather special.

I'm a little bemused by the lovely large windows in the living room that appear to have large piles of stuff/furniture piled up against them on the outside. And the big bed pan next to the dining table - in case you can't quite make it to the pink bathroom mid fondue? And I'm also more than a little worried about being sucked up Augustus Gloop style by the enormous extractor thing in the kitchen.

Maybe the shell bath doubles as a sensory deprivation tanks
I like the kitchen.

I like the display cabinets in the living room.
It's very well maintained. Maybe they have a few homes so don't live there all the time.

All the bathrooms need doing.

I want to like the kitchen but that green is a tad too dark.

Shell thing is hideous.

As Dolly Parton would say 'it takes a lot of memory to look this cheap'

Oh that’s incredible

Worst taste ever award, for 2017 and the test of time.
The work and money it must have taken to get the house SO UGLY.
It's like a migraine.

The bathroom colours Pink, peach and brown...
The cheapo pine furniture looks so incredibly out of place. The garden is fabulous, though.

That house is a thing of wonder!
I bet they had some amazing Abigail's Party type evening dinners there.
It was the kitchen that had me goggling - those green gloss units! Christ on a bike.
The shell bath made me laugh.
