“Lively” decor (a Rightmove one)

I think the word is unique…! If the colours weren’t enough to give you a headache, trying to work out what all the pictures are will.

I think Princess Di in photo 9 is my favourite.

Splendid find OP!

"requires a degree of cosmetic upgrading"

Wow - someone has put a lot of work into that decor!

BertieBotts · 11/03/2022 13:18

It reminds me of that Jacqueline Wilson book The Illustrated Mum.

Davethecat2001 · 11/03/2022 13:35

That was clearly a squat

senua · 11/03/2022 13:55

I thought for a minute that photo 7 was upside down!

PartyPlan · 11/03/2022 13:57

I would love to know who lived there. I’m imagining a hippy woman, aged in her 50s, wearing harem pants with wild prints, a couple of dreads.

I’m more Shock that you can buy a house in the UK for £72k!

Lunalicious · 11/03/2022 14:22

Looks like an ex-squat/drug-party house.

ItsAlwaysThere · 11/03/2022 14:26

Wow the price! A bargain.

SoupDragon · 11/03/2022 14:27

I thought it had previously had squatters in too.

"Cottage flat"???

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 11/03/2022 14:35

Omg - I love the wall/ceiling paint. Not expecting to but it's awesome. All the fittings, carpets etc are awful so clearly must have not been owner occupied.
The wall art reminds me of Lily Van Der Stokke, whose work I love.

Goonergirl14 · 11/03/2022 14:36

This is very close to me, never seen anything like it!

In a city too. Crazy.

I'm perplexed by the room in photo 6. The wall is literally a blank canvas I wounded why it was never decorated?!

FoxyFoxyLoxy · 11/03/2022 14:47

Excellent price though for what isn't a dreadful area. Could be a great flat but yes to "cosmetic upgrading".

Geezabreak82 · 11/03/2022 14:47

I think that's a brilliant price for a three bedroom flat in that area. Assuming all it needs is thorough redecorating someone is going to get an absolute bargain!

Offers over. It will not go for £72k. I am not up to speed with the property market in Glasgow but 10% to 20% over the asking price is fairly common which would be £79 - £86k ish.

These "cottage flats" are very very standard construction for ex-local authority housing in Scotland. Block of 4, two ground floor flats accessed by the doors you can see on the first photo at the front, the two upper flats are accessed by doors at the side of the property. So each flat has its own front door with no communal areas. Also sometimes known as an "upper villa". It's hard to tell from the photos whether this is the upstairs or downstairs flat.

DogsNotMen · 11/03/2022 14:52

I’ve never seen anything quite like that!

Ylvamoon · 11/03/2022 14:54

Can I say I really like the bathroom ceiling? (Pic9) I mean it's kind of hippy, druggie happy decor but still....

NewYearCalavicci · 11/03/2022 14:56

Umm that's interesting psit work.
Pic 7 , is it the painting on the ceiling that makes it look like the wall are not straight or is it just me .

I wonder if they painted like this jyst before it went on the market to get in MN and get free advertising and hike the pice up .
Go on @JeffThePilot it's your house really isn't it Grin 😆😆😆😆

SpacePotato · 11/03/2022 14:57

Amazing what you can do with some LSD and a bunch of tester pots.

I think they painted the ceilings to distract from the hideous carpets.

inmyslippers · 11/03/2022 14:57

It's the picture of princess di that seals the deal for me

NewYearCalavicci · 11/03/2022 14:57

Interesting what work ! 🤔 paint

AgentProvocateur · 11/03/2022 15:01

That’s a really decent well-built cottage flat in a nice area, close to the city centre with good transport links. I suspect it will go gif around 100k, but for 3 bedrooms it’s stilll a bargain.

dizzydizzydizzy · 11/03/2022 15:01

I'm speechless. It so amazing ....... ly awful.

I even looked to see if it was anywhere near me so I could book a viewing. Sadly it is 100s of miles away.
