Blimey. That tree is massive. Needs a bit of a tidy.

I saw this on Twitter captioned "this is like somebody decided to try and express generalized anxiety via interior design"

It gives me awful visual distress.

Its genuinely impossible to focus on anything in those photos. I could barely work out what the function of any of the rooms was.

Good lord! I think the attic level is inhabited by a son or daughter desperately trying to avoid migraine if possible.

That is utterly eye-boggling. Other than the kitchen I can't even fathom what most of the rooms are for.

Fuuuucking hell. :lol: It's like an online escape room/puzzle game with different zones and lots of complex, fiddly things to interact with.

That’s exactly what it’s like! A Crystal Maze.
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

The person behind that house clearly had no idea when to stop :lol:

It really is beautiful. Which makes the migraine within even worse.

How can you tell? I honestly can't pick out what is house and what is 'artefact' in most cases.

I am going off the outside, tbh, because I can't tell either. I think they have probably fucked up the inside.

I really want to ask the vendor what they are leaving behind, to see the real bones of the house.

I know it's only cosmetic but I think the use of pink and the sign has spoilt this house.

Lord. They really like bright pink! The rest of it is nice though.

It is really nice. Although I'd want a door from the hall into the living room - getting to the study would be really annoying. They have so many sofas :lol:

That sign. :lol: I actually quite like the bold pink sofas against the blue walls - it's something I'd never have the courage to go for myself.

I don't like the banisters. They remind me of an egg slicer.

:lol: Yes!

Other than the excess of sofas and the pink carpet I really like that house - especially the pink sofas against the dark walls. I love the green roof and covered outside seating too, and the kitchen tiles.

The sign is cringe though.
