I wonder if there’s a trade off for this sort of house, where the negative impact of how overstuffed it is inside is offset by the increased number of eyes on the property when people inevitably share it around more :lol:

I love looking at houses in general but the ones on this thread have been particularly challenging recently :lol:

It makes me want to throw everything out and do a massive deep clean! I guess that's why those cleaning and decluttering channels are so popular because they motivate people.

They have so many chairs on wheels :lol:.

And that table with all the horses and other shite on it :lol:.

And how long will it take to fall into bed with all those teddies to shift?

I think I've been locked down for too long - I've just shrieked with laughter, to the point that M has rushed in to see if I'm ok :))

This little gem came up the other day. I can't understand how they put so much effort to make the renovations and choose that colour for the front door

They do have a pink thing going on throughout though. I don’t mind it with the dark windows but it’d be easy to fix!

The layout, decor and garden look like pretty much 80% of the houses we looked round.

I love the stained glass panel in the door, but I wouldn't like that clear glass either side. How would I hide from the Hermes man as he tries to drop off the 45th H&M package of the week for my next door neighbour?

I like the pink on the inside. I like a feature door in a hallway.

Me too, it just looks wrong on the outside, due to the brick tones I think?

Yes it does look better on the inside with the sunset stained glass.

Let me know if you find it Pip, we’re in the market for one too. I’d love to have a stained glass sun.

Something in my brain is telling me you’ve already had your front door replaced?! Or did you repaint it?

I did a thread recently, but the company still haven’t come out to quote yet.

That is a house that a family in a novel would live in! Totally amazing.

(It’s an ozone pool, so no chlorine)
