This house is bonkers

This house just came up for sale not too far from me. It is so bonkers I think I like it. I can't decide if the copper mirrored sitting room with the cut through window and multicoloured lights is my favourite or the bed stuffed into the gable.

bonkers house

I'm trying the clicky link, I'll do it again if it doesn't work.

It's not really bonkers, it just needs updating. The panelling is very 1970's.

It looks like a nice house.

It's a lovely house but terrible location, who would live on a 4 way junction if they had a choice?

RedElephants · 29/10/2019 10:29

Assuming the present owner will be taking all furniture etc, you would decorate to your own taste.

I like the size of the rooms, I would buy it.

The HDR photography makes it look more bonkers than it is. It's not really that bad.

Stunning property. Not my definition of bonkers.

PurpleFrames · 29/10/2019 11:45

Wow it's huge!
Fantastic for the pric imo

JoJoSM2 · 29/10/2019 11:48

The map in the loo made me chuckle Grin

DrBendix · 29/10/2019 11:51

I love it

I love the panelling and the copper mirrors. I absolutely adore 1970s interior design. I'm genuinely sad that someone's obviously going to come in and rip all of this out Sad

Even without the 1970s vibe, the house is stunning.

TricklBOO · 29/10/2019 11:52

It's not remotely bonkers. Is it your house and you're upping the viewings? Grin

misspiggy19 · 29/10/2019 11:56

What’s with the ceilings? Wallpaper on the ceilings?

IWorkAtTheCheescakeFactory · 29/10/2019 11:57

Ooh I want it!! Those rooms are huge!

AdobeWanKenobi · 29/10/2019 14:01

WTF ALL those sockets?! Confused

AnotherEmma · 29/10/2019 14:04

Adobe I was scrolling through the photos thinking huh? Perfectly normal and dare I say nice house... but WTF is with all the random plugs, lights and other electrical fittings?!

AdobeWanKenobi · 29/10/2019 14:08

I'm assuming they have their own substation for that lot. Still, never struggle for a spot to plug in the hoover would you? 😂

FooOOOOoooofffffff · 29/10/2019 14:18

Wow, you all don't think it's bonkers? Come now, the giant mirror in the pine panelled loo? The gold textured wallpaper in the master bedroom with the starry ceiling? The multiple floral patterns on every soft furnishing plus the mini persian rugs on every surface?

@AdobeWanKenobi is that your house? It's lovely but there are a rather large amount of lights and electrical sockets in it. I bet you can see it from space at night.Wink

Oh my god! I just noticed that behind the door with the stained glass from top to bottom is a wc! In the sunroom, just off the kitchen and dining.

If you were over to their house for a meal and someone excused themselves to go to the loo you could see them going to the loo while you're sitting eating your meal. So flippin' weird.

I’ve seen far more bonkers houses on Rightmove to be honest, that one is mainly just dated.

SoyDora · 29/10/2019 14:32

AdobeWanKenobi that one genuinely is bonkers. And absolutely no acknowledgement of all the sockets in the blurb!

IWorkAtTheCheescakeFactory · 29/10/2019 14:54

Socket house is bonkers! And the odd layout of all the spotlights! Confused

I’m wondering if the house was built by a trade college and they had loads of apprentice sparks to pass off Grin

HuggedTree · 29/10/2019 15:01

I thought you were all exaggerating, but no WTAF at those sockets! I’m guessing they were growing weed and needed multiple lamps??

unfortunateevents · 29/10/2019 15:02

Socket house is definitely bonkers! The Edinburgh house is just decorated in a very specific style which isn't to most people's taste but pretty much everything could be changed - or will be removed as part of the sale anyway.

AnotherEmma · 29/10/2019 15:07

Ahhh growing weed could be an explanation!

AdobeWanKenobi · 29/10/2019 15:18

is that your house?

Thankfully not.

ProseccoIsTheAnswerHere · 29/10/2019 15:26

I quite like the bonkers house, not far from me either!
