Anyone else browse Rightmove for fun after moving house? If so, what do you think of this house and its “garden”?

[GurlWithACurl]

We moved house recently, so I have no intention of doing it again for a long time, if ever. However, I am now addicted to wandering around Rightmove just for entertainment purposes, which is probably a bit sad! Anyway, I have just seen this house for sale and wondered what Mumsnetters would think of it…

Looks like the site may once held something like a transport cafe, which would make sense on Watling Street, one of the most ancient roads in these isles.

You'd need grippy socks and sunglasses.

The lack of plants to me means they are souless

It’s very gold with a matching silver garden!

Looks like a poltergeist has been at the cushions.

Do the families living in the "garden" come with it?

Not for me.

Is it me or is the garden just one massive kitty litter? And goodness the magnolia and gold. It’s giving 2001 style wise to me.

Clearly owned by people who don’t like gardening 😂

Hate the gold taps and bathroom basin.

I actually don’t mind the floors. Makes a change from grey carpet. My daughter would be buying inline skates and would be practicing her skills without the need to track to the ice rink

Wouldn’t want to be there during a heatwave. Sizzled

I was thinking it didn’t have redeeming feature but actually, plenty of off road parking !

Oh behave 🤣

It's hideous inside and out! And it's position is awful being on such a busy road

Even from the outside I thought ‘nope’!

I thought something similar.
There were so many things to think though- like why bother with picture 38? What does it add to show the same as picture 39 but before the painting was finished?
What was outside when the took the photos, that all the blinds needed to be down?
Why does the loo look so lonely in that bathroom- something about the picture makes it look like it’s hiding.
How do they live there? It’s immaculate and completely dressed- how does it work when you want to live there, given the cushions and branded bags?

Lastly, is there a site where Travellers can market their homes, or a code word so you know how to search for them on Rightmove? That’s been very specifically developed, and I’m wondering how you spread the word to get views from the right people.

I think it's someone's much loved family home and while it's not to my taste in its current form, the thought of my family home being shared on MN for the shits and giggles when a change of decor would sort it is horrible.

Who the fuck staged those photos?!

I’m amazed there’s not less gravel and more tarmac!

Don’t forget the Chanel bags upstairs!

Owned by an Asian family.

Wrong
Goodness Gracious Me!

The Romans would probably have liked it

Interior - hate but like the space
Exterior - yep def for me as I hate grass

You can’t buy good taste……

Feel a bit sad that owners had no personality 😂

It's very much in the travellers style which is usually a lot of creams and gold. It will also be immaculately cleaned.
