I found this property on the Rightmove Android app and wanted you to see it: www.rightmove.co.uk/s6p/63574254

Check out this stunner. Starts off pretty special, heavy on the wood but wait til picture 11 and 12. Was not expecting that. Also check out the floorplan. Upstairs is rather unusual but now I might say I'm quite tempted to fiddle around with the floorplan in my own home to incorporate a room in like that upstairs!!!

Oh, op i do hope this is not your house, if so apologies Blush

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 10/07/2019 15:32

Oh its horrible

The kitchen and the bedroom in particular

Mammajay · 10/07/2019 15:32

Can't get the link to work.

I can't believe the estate agent can get away with saying this is in a peaceful tree lined street. I grew up around here. It's smack-bang in the middle of Hackney's gang-ridden murder mile!

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 10/07/2019 15:35

I am actually rendered speechless.

Another one for Miss Haversham...

All I want is the back story and pics of the owners!!

Ticklingcheese · 10/07/2019 15:37

I was wondering, if the owners are the ones with the mn thread about a grave in the backyard?

Toddlerteaplease · 10/07/2019 15:42

Bar upstairs, bathroom downstairs? Weird!

IncrediblySadToo · 10/07/2019 15:43

Its bloody hideous I’m not sure which is the worst room but good new is it’s nothing a match couldn’t sort out

But then
You’d be left with a plot of land in a really awful area. A few trees don’t make up for the crime!

Pipandmum · 10/07/2019 15:49

A nearby house sold for £1.1m a couple years ago so the area can’t be that bad.

Betty777 · 10/07/2019 15:51

I like that the agent's description is so bland, trying to pretend the house is normal Grin

Moondancer73 · 10/07/2019 15:53

Good lord 😂
I've never seen anything like that before!

Bobbyflay · 10/07/2019 15:54

If I had £800k, I’d buy it. It’s my life’s ambition to live in a crazy house but not one I’ve created.

BarryBarryTaylor · 10/07/2019 16:00

Wow that’s a 10minute walk from my house. How bizarre, it’s really weird when you know a house so well from the outside, I wouldn’t have expected the inside to be like that at all!

It’s hipster central now, just off chatsworth road surrounded by organic coffee shops and posh sourdough bakeries. Not to mention the outstanding primary schools. It’s a really desirable area

IlluminatiParty · 10/07/2019 16:03

How did they squeeze a PUB into that house? Also WHY? Actually no, that makes perfect sense. Awful taste but great execution, as they say on Reddit...

BarryBarryTaylor · 10/07/2019 16:04

All the good local pubs have been turned into clothes outlets and furniture shops Grin so I guess that explains the two bars

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 10/07/2019 16:05

Also, seems like a loooong walk to the bathroom if you were in the bar or one of the upstairs bedrooms.
Can't quite forgive the cladding at the back either.

NeverSayFreelance · 10/07/2019 16:07

Dear god. This is like when Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen was let loose in Changing Rooms.

Eliza9919 · 10/07/2019 16:19

Not far from murder mile.

Not surprised.

flapjackfairy · 10/07/2019 16:23

The link won't work on my tablet ,
I NEED TO SEE THIS !!!

LurksnoLonger · 10/07/2019 17:01

Must have been a brothel?? Four bedrooms, no lounge, a bar and a mirrored wall type thing in the bathroom...

RubaiyatOfAnyone · 10/07/2019 17:05

Humph. The estate agent has taken down this listing. Now i'll never see the glory.

JellyfishAndShells · 10/07/2019 17:08

Wowzer !

Local pub(s) being gutted for refit as yet another vegan cafe so interiors rescued and repurposed ?

MumApr18 · 10/07/2019 18:51

Holy sh*t, house prices in London are insane!! You could get something that size for a quarter of the price elsewhere!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 10/07/2019 19:00

The solitary loo with mismatch tiles behind. Why only one loo. So many are bedrooms. If walls could talk.
