This house makes my brain feel weird!

I don't care if it is worth £8mil, it's horrendously ugly and pretentious. I'm not wrong am I?

Wot no aga 😱

No no no, you're all wrong. What you clearly want is a house with an indoor beach made with 40 tonnes of under-floor heated sand.

Good God @parkview94.

That house looks surprisingly like my local Thai takeaway.

Can you imagine all the hoovering you'd have to do as the sand treads through the house! Also, are those pod things beds?! Seems a fairly high likelihood you'd roll out and smash on the floor below.

That one's all right Infinite! A little bit pretentious, and too monochrome, but not 'Whaaaatttt?!' At least it's a uniform style throughout.

OMGFG at the Thai style one and the Wimbledon one, they are HIDEOUS!!

The house in the OP would be ok redecorated

I would love a house like that!!

It's probably owned by a drug dealer or a football player. I really didn't see what the problem was until the first bedroom picture came up. The whole things is a bit WTF? It's like someone took a lovely arts and crafts house and put a man cave in it.

The Thai one looks a bit like an upmarket brothel.

*Not that I would know first hand what those sook like

Not seeing the issue here, beautiful house, and I'm sure if you can afford the price tag you can redecorate as you please. Calling it horrendously ugly and pretentious is weird.

I'm guessing you're envious. If so why spend your time looking at houses you'll never be able to afford them starting threads to be insulting about them, it can't possibly make you feel better/superior to the owners?

Let's have a gander at your house then,,,

I love it. Could be gorgeous with a few tweaks and personalised. Imagine having the Thames at the end of your garden!

I don't think it's envy. It is possibly a kind of snobbery. I mean, I laughed when I saw Stephen Ireland's house, because I just thought his taste was hilariously bad. Pics here, apologies for Sun link

Why do I find this funny? Because a middle class part of me (I'm working class by background) has put taste in a different bracket from income. It's not just footballers, either - I judge the taste of some of the designers who work with the alpha wealthy, too. I hate the work of people like Kelly Hoppen, and would unthinkingly use the word "vulgar" about it. There is something democratic about it as an attitude (wealth isn't everything, money can't buy taste) but something unpleasant and snobby too, because it does uphold one distinct standard of taste as "correct".

I use to live near this house. It always thought it was beautiful.

Its so interesting to see whats behind closed doors. Its not to my taste, I don't think the mix of modern and old is done well, but its a lovely home. The location of this house is stunning and I would buy it for that alone! Unfortunately out of my price range by a few mil!

Maybe it is snobbery whisky owl, or inverted snobbery, but let's be honest, there is a whole difference in a home that's out there in terms of design ie a fushia pink bedroom and the house in the op, which is fairly neutral.

I'm also bemused by these threads when the house is nothing outrageous. It does make you wonder what the ops house is like when she positions her self as the harbinger of good taste.

I just don't get what you'd do in all of that space. Why do the rooms need to be so ridiculously huge? I would honestly hate to live in a place that big.

I lived in a mansion as a child. I loved the space. I loved swanning around the garden, sitting at the grand piano, draping myself over furniture, hiding in hidden rooms and dancing down corridors.

As an adult, I think in terms of maintaining a property and a mansion of that size would seem like an utter burden to me now. I’m happy to live in a house.
