What is this thing in the bathroom?

[ifIwerenotanandroid]

So, I'm checking out some EuroMillions houses (I live in hope) & found an unusual one. But what is this, in the bathroom? I thought it must be a radiator but there's one already.

no idea what the silver thing is though

What would someone want to plug in above a bidet?

I don't even have a bidet in my bathroom.

And why is a boxed off range a PITA?

I don't even have a socket in my bathroom.

@picklemewalnuts I just had to stifle a snort while reading your comment. Maybe they're into being watched in bed

Is the towel/bath robe thingy heated? Thereby combining the practical and the artistic

I get the feeling the owner has died but still wandering about.

Far too many photos of the view and only 5 of the interior. I got an automated message asking if I'd like to view the property and was tempted to reply no I am just a nosey fucker!

I think the silvery pipe is someone's first attempt at installing the chimney for a wood burning stove in the room below.

Its the flue from the Aga made into an erm..decorative feature upstairs. You can tell from the floorplan. That room must be like a sauna with a cast iron radiator in there as well. Worryingly those details have far more pictures of the outside than inside. Always a suspicious sign!

The kitchen and bathroom are ODD aF. But my god what an amazing house and glorious setting

What a view!
But bathroom sinks in the kitchen?! Bizarre bathroom.
Bet the rest of the house is a horror, hence the lack of photos.

Well, I have a ticket in tonight's draw. If I win, you're all invited round for a cream tea next summer.

Just don't let me wake up one mornig to find you all sitting there staring at me.

Fingers crossed for you. Are you going to keep the silver bathroom thingamybob?

It's a Lutyens house, philistines people.

Just Thanks! I'll find out what it is & what it's for, first, I think.

New Are they all this weird?

He was a visionary, truly a pioneer of the arts & crafts movement. I doubt the weirdness of that house was his design

Oh would buy this in a heartbeat. So beautiful

That bathroom is actually illegal - you can't have standard sockets. They wouldn't be able to sell to someone who has a mortgage without it being changed, know someone who had exactly this issue. More money that sense

@movingonup20

'illegal bathroom'?
That would be a nuisance - if it got arrested and put in prison. No where to wash...

Why are there so many arm chairs all facing the bed in that bedroom photo? What were they watching???

@allNewHouseNewMe

I used to go to New Place before it was a hotel.

Nicely built but transparently an expensive pastiche.

Some of the plumbing was whimsical.

Why so many photos of the sea? That won't be in the sale!

That house has so much potential!
