What would you do with this house?

This house has just been listed nearby. Both, the exterior and interior, look original but completely different styles. A bit odd but kind of interesting. What would you do with the house?
(I’m not looking but I found the house highly unusual so I thought I’d post).

It’s not really so mixed up. I wouldn’t touch the panelling and would rip up the carpet to hopefully find original floors. Kitchen doesn’t fit at all, so you could try to decorate in Art Deco with some clever tiling and colour, maybe adding original freestanding furniture, or replace completely. Same with the bathroom- shouldn’t be too hard to source and original one. Then go full out with beautiful Art Deco stuff- loads of furniture, lighting, prints and accessories around at the moment.

What a wonderful house. I would get a decent architect followed by an interior designer to give me ideas and take it from there. It’s amazing

Really? All the A&E? I’ll have a look at that. Hopefully, given access straight off an A road will be different to ambulances with sirens trying to make it through the narrow streets of Tooting.

@JoJoSM2 The road ambulance sirens will sound whatever, but you probably won't have the air ambulance

The green roof is so unusual, almost like a Lego house. It’s completely different to everything else on the road.

Some lovely original features, I would keep the wooden panels and fireplaces etc. Carpets and kitchen don’t match the style or grandeur of the house and are actually jarring to look at but would probably suffice in the short term whilst doing a sympathetic renovation.

It looks cheap for London (and I say that as a northerner!) but being listed and of architectural interest I suspect it could quickly become a money pit.

It’s a bit of a mush-mash of styles - Art Deco exterior and arts and crafts interior. That wood panelling is gorgeous. I wonder if the original owners couldn’t run to the fancy Art Deco inlaid stuff so went with the best they could afford? I couldn’t work out what was bugging me about the windows but it’s the gold handles - presumably they’ve added them for security but arrrgh.
It looks as if some of the original kitchen cupboards are there (pic 15) which are probably more fitting of the style, and they’ve stuck in a cheap kitchen to replace an absolute horror from the 70s.

Ditto the carpets - if it’s been the same family since the 1970s there’s a good chance everything was ‘new’ then and has been worn out since. It was the fashion then to take out as many features as possible and replace with teak (looking at you my parents) so the ‘before’ shots are probably quite something.
It looks like a ‘tidy up for a quick sale so that someone can move in’ job, and I hope that whoever buys it does some restoration because it could be stunning.

I'd be painting it funky colours, with bright carpets. Lots of eccentric maximalism. It takes a lot of personality to fill a house like that. fortunately for the house, it's far far beyond my reach.

I prefer it to the other house posted, which I thought was a bit of a mish-mash. They didn't have fitted kitchens in the 1930s. The bathroom needs to have a bath with claw feet and they used to go for green tiles, at the bottom, a black strip in the middle and white tiles above. That's not my taste but that would be authentic.

I liked it, and wouldn't mind having £1 million to buy it. But I don't need 5 bedrooms.....

I did once view a 30’s house with an original kitchen and bathroom - I found it super cool but can’t imagine not being the bad guy ripping stuff out to put in 21st century stuff.

Get rid of the wood panels, replace the fire place in picture 6/7, change the surround in picture 10 for a more modern one and update the windows. It's too old fashioned

Is that you, Mrs Hinch?

That's a great house! With those features, I'd Villa Necchi the hell out of it. Such potential. I love the Art Deco features.
