What do you make of this house?

[pinklemonsparkle]

I kind of like bits of it - the pink bannisters, beautiful cornicing/ceiling roses, amazing exterior, but other bits are a bit too much of a modern mishmash.

It's interior designed ( obviously), and the price for the area is very toppy.

Just wondering what anyone else thinks.

What's the point of the final photo?? And why focus on the slide/bed combo, that's not going to be left for the new owners surely.

It’s too matchy matchy for me, it reminds me of a chain of bar/cafes. And it’s the wrong side of the river for that price!

Ha ha so totally marmite given opinions on here!

I did laugh at the random picture of the football goal in the last photo!

Would need a little redecorating to suit my taste (prefer cornicing to be white and the vivid blue bathroom is too much for me) but otherwise I think it’s gorgeous. The area has a low crime index and is handy for London. If I was looking for a property of that size had the money to hand would definitely shortlist it.

This is really near to where I live, the houses on this road are lovely although that's very much at the upper end for housing in Forest Hill.

I like it. Great layout and proportions, and lots of character.

I would change the kitchen units.

His I couldn't live there nothing flows together looks like random people picked random bits of furniture and decor some of it hurts my eyes

They should have landscaped the garden before building an extension right to the boundary on both sides.

Apart from that, I love it.

Love it but it's one where I would need to buy all the furniture as well as it is all designed to match perfectly and my Ikea sideboard would ruin the effect immediately!

Really don’t like the curved kitchen cupboards and that fact they have carried that theme throughout the house. Some of it is nice.

I really like it !!

Agreed
I kinda love it but that kitchen is an acquired taste would have to go.

Aahh @DogInATent you beat me to it!

Yeah all the blue stuff is horrible.

I would need to rip most of it out as soon as moving in but I learnt long ago that I have no taste. It is guaranteed that the thing I think I’d ugly on bargain hunt goes for a fortune.

It's not my personal taste but I really like it. It has very clean lines and is bright and airy

Looks like a magazine and no-one lives there. I don't hate the colour I'm just not keen on pastels. I'd prefer more saturated colours. All the rounded semi circular furniture is a bit overkill and boring looking. Reminds me of top end Ikea to me. Love the blue radiators.

Love this house! Personally love the decor and it’s a good location!
Brought in 2022 for 1.8 million and prior to that brought in 2012 for 700k. London prices are insane!!
So if it sells at the asking price it has quadrupled in price in 12 years.

Love it-when can I move in?

Love it but the price is too much! I live in southwest London and am used to the stupid prices.

On the other end of scale when I sold my late Father's house which was a tip, unmodernised and in a real state - basically untouched for over 50 years we were inunated with offers well over the asking price. Nice part of London btw.

People seem to love the fact they it had been untouched. They could do whatever they liked to it and of course the price reflected this.

I’ve surprised myself, I like the house but dislike how it’s decorated, particularly the pink banister,and the blue bathroom and kitchen, I’m not sure I could live with it, but if I could afford 3million I could fix it. However it’s not worth that kind of money.

Photo 2 shows the back of the house has been ruined by an ugly extension.

The trend to open up the back old old style houses with modern style fittings such as huge sliding or bifold doors is absolutely ghastly.
