That house is quite intriguing. At first sight it looks like an elderly lady's home, but there are bits of it that look like they were lived in by someone who's been a teenage boy for the last few decades.

I reckon it was an old lady's house, she's died and her heir is now renting it out to students without having redecorated. It's the only answer.

Lovely house but you may need sunglasses for some of the rooms.

Yes, this!
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.

I imagine it's for someone old enough to have a boyfriend, check the alternative view in picture 35 and the cushion on the bed!

Urgh. I know you're supposed to depersonalise to sell, but only the office photo looks really like anyone lives there at all.

That's a lot of house for the money.

I actually quite like Phil Neville's house. :mog: I have seen much worse footballer houses.

OMG that kitchen! I was thinking "oh but you could slap a load of white on the ceiling and the stools would go..." then I clocked the pink feature cabinet doors.

And all that crushed velvet

Is it a keyboard on the wall of the "dining" (snooker) room?

How odd to choose to spend the money on the glass house but not want to spend the relatively small extra amount to get an in-ground pool.

I grew up with a swimming pool like that, as did most of my friennds who had pools (not in greenhouses though, outside) - trust me, the price differential between that and a in-ground swimming pool is really very high! :))
