I need to look online for the one I saw in a magazine. It had a small cinema and the blurb was something like "small screening room big enough for several couples, immediately off the master bedroom for privacy". Wtf? Swingers!

One bedroom for £2M+?!

The stained glass window and cinema are fantastic, everything else would have to go.

That's amazing! I'd love to visit it, but actually living there would be a bit much. :))

I think these people like animals a bit.

That's what I was thinking. A 6 bed house could potentially contain lots of people - I wouldn't want to cook for more than one or two in that space.

I'm fairly sure someone has inherited this and stuck it on the market immediately but why would you not at least clear it out?

Oh dear, Sal. How hard would it be to have grabbed a couple of bin bags before the photographer got there?

Between the dragons and the rhino heads, I almost missed the strange statues in the garden.

I am a bit weirded out by the cordylines in front of the bedroom window - they must make the bedroom so dark.

That flat looks so grim. "Lots of storage" it says in the blurb. Yes. Lots. All over every surface in sight.

ALSO why is there a big glass panel between the living room and bedroom? :panic:

Sal, that house has made me a bit sad :(

It also reminds me of when we bought our flat - it was also an inheritance and the dad of the previous owner had been staying here as he usually lived in England. They left bedding, all the furniture, all the dishes - and the crown in the jewel - the open jar of beans in the fridge. Literally the only they had cleared out was her clothes. And they were money-grabbing too.

The revolt of the pebble flooring. It's taking over one room at a time :nerves:

That would be nice and cooling in a bathroom in a really hot country. In the Uk it just looks a bit overpowering :))

My student house had a kitchen with lino lined walls. I think they thought it looked like tiling. It didn't.
