Thoughts on this house?

I quite like it

It's a beautiful house and would be really lovely without all of that clutter. What's with all of the hats on the wall?! And the rabbit ornaments on the kitchen work surface? Don't get me wrong, my house isn't minimalist but that much "stuff" is unnecessary.

The recycling centre is small, well down the road and only open limited hours. Not porgy/rubbishy at all (I’m local). I think the house is lovely although horribly overstated and far too many twee lifestyle photos, just show me the flipping kitchen layout not the expensive pewter hares casually lying around on the worktops. Also NE garden a dealbreaker for me.

By way of a local contrast, who fancies a Project?

I don’t like the layout. I want my dining area leading off from my kitchen.

It’s a lovely house. The photos are awful,though. The photographer obviously thinks they are better photographers than they are and is doing that hideously naff thing of trying to sell a ‘lifestyle’ rather than a house. Makes me cringe every time I see it done.

If I was looking in that area, in that price range, I'd go and look at it. I can't get a feeling for the place as the photos aren't great & the decor seems so samey.

Nothing that I hate (that wouldn't be leaving with the current owners) but nothing I love either.

I don't much like the decor tbh but the house itself appeals to me enormously. I never really pay attention to the decor when viewing a house except in relation to my own furnishings.

It is also next to the Cum Factory maps.app.goo.gl/zYwoJZxTdudVx6e76

(sorry it made me laugh)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Beautiful house but bizzare ornament taste...

The layout would be ideal for me...two spare ensuite bedrooms downstairs for returning grown up kids, which we could move into - one each - when we got too old to go upstairs.

Hella jump though, £300k in a year.

But I’d buy it if it valued up.

WTAF with all the hats?

It looks like the owner of a shop has closed down and put all the stock into the house. Why else would there be so much. I wouldn't have all that stuff on the kid's bedroom windowsill either, big house - got to be space for shelving.

The house itself I like, but everything inside it would have to be changed.

It seems quite cheap to me when it's within commuting distance of London where every 3 bed house will cost the best part of a million.

That's potentially a really nice house. I bet a builder will snap it up and make a big profit.

I don't like slanted ceilings, so this would be a no from me.

I like the house. The kitchen lets it down in terms of size and style. I don’t like the 2 bedrooms being downstairs, as I wouldn’t want to leave both or 1 of my DC sleeping on a different floor.

The recycling centre would also be a negative.

I can’t believe someone went out to buy 12 hats to hang on a wall.

@Nith, that house has beautiful bones!!

Love the house. Hate the decor. What’s with the hideous hats and dog/rabbit/skunk statues everywhere. Plus grey palette is surely over now, isn’t it? Please let it be over.

Now, this could be great.

Oh, I would love to shower that with love (and shed loads of money!)

And what about this poor cockatiel?

I doubt the owner lets the bird out ever, look at the house. It is pristine.

That’s a ridiculously tiny cage, if it’s a real bird. ☹️

I like the building but it's like it's been staged by someone who's never actually lived in a house. The kitchen counters were enough to irk me but is that really a vase on the cooker too?

Way way too much clutter, it needs a skip.
