The concept of a feature wall has got slightly lost in that house.

:lol: If I were photographing such a colourful house I would probably calm it a bit on the saturation stakes, rather than setting all the dials to 11 :))

Lovely photo of their attic junk collection too :)

You'd think they could have at least buried them under the patio.

Well, who doesn't need to find their work clothes and their 1995 copy of Whigfield's seminal album at the same time of a morning?

It would be quite handy for storing belts, scarves etc though!

The mosaic tiles and marbled counter tops in the kitchen make my teeth itch.

So beautiful on the outside but not so much on the inside.

You could so easily go through that with a clutch of bin bags and a brace of Farrow & Ball paints and make it beautiful. And hike the price up too, I bet.

God yes. The person who lives there must spend their entire life dusting. The bones of it are beautiful though - I love the arch-shaped kitchen door.

I love that house- it needs clearing and repainting but is absolutely lovely and I would buy it. It's not cheap, though!

Why can you see the loo and sink in the photo? It doesn't make sense from the floorplan. Shitting in your kitchen, that's a new one on me.

I think it's the angles they took the photo in. The shower appears to be next to the cooker and the loo/sink next to it. But yeah the pics don't seem to match the floorplan.

ETA, No that's not right, there's a bath too. It's very confusing.

Property in Edinburgh is so cheap!! York isn't bad either. I need to move up North and live in a mansion.
