That one looks like some sort of badly planned granny annexe.

On the bathroom theme, the shower room in picture 5

and also this one, picture 6. I wouldn't fancy squeezing through that gap every time I needed the loo!

Oh dear Mayday :lol:

That first house could be really nice with the right decor. Not keen on the second one.

In the second one, I'd be worried about the wall cupboards falling on me in my sleep. If I could ever get to sleep with that carpet, that is!

The Miss Havisham house! :eek: I really hate it. Faux cracks painted on the walls make me irrationally cross. Probably because we've got real cracks I'd dearly love to be rid of.

This has cracked me up though:

That wall paper creates a peculiar illusion of a flying shower cabinet, suspended in a busy sky! :lol:

woah! That looks like it's been furnished by pub castoffs. In the 70s. By someone who is colour blind.

Pub castoffs is exactly right. I couldn't put my finger on it, but that's it.

Strangely the elephant didn't seem so out there compared to much of the rest of it :)). We think it may be a former ambassador's residence - Ambassador of Excellent Taste, clearly.

That decor is... special, Neil.
