Want to see a terrible renovation??

[petitdonkey]

Okay, so there will be some people who love it but I can only imagine how much was spent creating this and, in my opinion, it's a monstrosity!!

Such a shame... Canterbury

Awful. I can see what they were aiming for but it's awful. The big tiles on the kitchen floor don't look right with that kitchen, the curved breakfast bar doesn't look right with the style kitchen, all of the wooden flooring looks naff.. year it's awful. A big shame because could have been beautiful.

Re the personal taste.
I think a very trendy couple designed and built it, chose all the expensive and quirky items then fell out over the right colour of toilet paper and split up

Is that a floating piano in the library?

That fire thing is bloody awful isn’t it! And that doorway

Beautiful building with a completely tasteless interior.

The fire looks like lips and fire for teeth. I liked the rooms upstairs that had the large windows. The staircase was pretty, but I wouldn't want it as the main staircase. If it is how would you get furniture upstairs. Also the upstairs is very under developed.
Just disappointing.

elastic I agree with you on the kitchen floor tiles- they look so cheap and nasty...

That is a huge price tag for the area too!

I’m afraid it smacks of ‘no class’ for a property like this. I agree with you. The rooms do not flow..

Massive price tag for the area. I live near the fordwich one, it's right next to a pub car park. A pub with a Michelin star, but still!

It's like someone was carrying a dozen different mood boards, tripped up and scattered all the photos then thought 'fuck it, no one will notice' as they handed the plans over to the builders.

Or the architect was on serious glue.

I love it

I'm in the "love it" camp! Apart from the lip-fire thing, I think it's ace. Love all the light, space and curves. I don't really like the pale grey/white look myself but it's currently very popular. The world would be a boring place if we were all alike

Or the architect was on serious glue.

Some of it works, the rest of it - strewth!

Yuck - wibbly wobbly doors, dark oppressive bathroom and those lips! Parts of it are good though

Reccy - I thought the price for the Fordwich one is unattainable too... just thought it was an interesting comparison as I know which one id choose if I had to! (and I would love to live in the city centre)

Love the Forsanetti fish. The rest of it is grim. Wtaf is the piano doing hanging sadly out of the wall? With all that space buy a fucking grand!

I think the price for the other one in Fordwich is bang on actually (my neighbours house in Hampshire in a semi rural location between Southampton and Salisbury is on for £2.5M and is not as appealing as the Fordwich one)

I wouldn't say no to either, love the stairs in the 1 at one and the garden in the 2nd.

I especially love the dramatic bathrooms! Both are lovely though in my opinion.

It's like something from the sims

Love the fish walls but not so much the rest

Fordwich is nice but it is surrounded by Sturry and Hersden which are quite rough. The A28 goes right past the town which is always bumper to bumper, and there's a very large traveller site up the road. I wouldn't pay that price to live in that area, however nice the house is! Nice walk to the red lion in Stodmarsh from there though
Nice to "meet" a fellow east kent member petit!

I am really surprised they could do this renovation as it is a grade 2 listed building. When we renovated our grade 2 house we had to keep the egg and dart cornicing and pay someone to come and model and make the missing sections at great cost. They wouldn't let us put a door between two rooms so I had to put the kitchen elsewhere. Yet this house hardly seems to have been constrained by the grade 2 listing. Odd.

What's with the missing skirting in pic 8 with the fox wall?
