And a cockerel ornament too.

@Lookwhoseinsideagain

Other than the pink/purple room it seems relatively inoffensive Hmm
Yeah, agreed. I like it.
IceLace100 · 21/09/2021 20:09

I bet the people who live there are really interesting! I want to meet them!

Why would you care?

Nothing a lick of paint wouldn’t change.
why be so leary antagonistic”

I don’t like people taking the piss out of the tastes of others for no reason whatsoever (until they realise that most people disagree with them and change their tune and suddenly love it).

What’s the point?

Fluffypastelslippers · 21/09/2021 20:13

Picture 10? It's just pink walls, nothing unusual?

Holothane · 21/09/2021 20:16

I like I’d lighten the blue but love it otherwise.

amter · 21/09/2021 20:17

Is there wallpaper on the ceilings? I like the quirky style in the blue lounge and kitchen, however the rest takes it a bit far for me :)

Porfre · 21/09/2021 20:17

I've got a really good one local to me. Very bright

amter · 21/09/2021 20:18

love the herringbone floor also

I like quirky houses! I really don’t like the front door and brown window frames though.

We’ve two shades of blue, with gold cornice and ceiling rose in our dining room (sounds garish, I know! but with the Art Deco furniture, it sings).

I was horrified when I saw the (professional photographer’s) shots. It looked horrendous.

Experience of selling 6 homes tells me that for some reason, they always “enhance” the pictures. We always asked them to “unenhance” them!

NortieTortie · 21/09/2021 20:25

I love the garden. Very charming.

It’s really interesting how lots of people believe they’re taking their Victorian/Edwardian homes back to their original glory by stripping back the wood

The house in question is lower middle-class (of its time, obvs. - jeez, you’d need to be pretty well off to afford it in many towns and cities now).

Bare wood, especially pine which most mass-builders used, indicated that you couldn’t afford to paint the woodwork. Unless it was the superior mahogany, in which case you varnished (internally, usually room dividing doors and built in bookcases).

I like it. Does anyone know if it’s a good area?

flippertyop · 21/09/2021 20:29

Aside from the purple
Room I like it. Love the kitchen and the cockerel

Here’s my offering Grin

Rosscameasdoody · 21/09/2021 20:38

I really like this - with the exception of the purple room, it seems to have been done to quite a high standard and with imagination. I love the outside space too.

I couldn't live in that. OTT even for me.

Disfordarkchocolate · 21/09/2021 20:40

I like loads of this house. I'd have to paint some ceilings though.

Tiredmum100 · 21/09/2021 20:41

@LubaLuca

I like it. It looks like they've lived a life in that house.
Yes, thats what I thought. I liked it a lot. Full of character and fun! Brave to be bold!
CaptainMyCaptain · 21/09/2021 20:41

@ItsAHardKn0ckLife1

No. Minimalist and soulless. Admittedly I didn't look beyond the kitchen. Hated it.
Mombie2021 · 21/09/2021 20:42

No it’s shit!
Rosscameasdoody · 21/09/2021 20:42

@flippertyop. I have a very similar cockerel on my kitchen window sill. It’s from the Juliana painted metal range - got it from Amazon along with a matching owl, which reminded me of the mechanical owl in the film ‘Clash of the Titans’.

TheFairyCaravan · 21/09/2021 20:43

I can’t see anything wrong with it. The cockerel will go with them and you can change the colours.

You should see some of the weird stuff we’ve come across these past few weeks while we’ve been house hunting if you think that’s out of the ordinary.

TheChild · 21/09/2021 20:43

Love the kitchen!! I'm not sure about the coloured ceilings but I would love to have a house like that!
