It's just taken me aaaaages to find the COOK lettering in that photo. :lol:

Picture #2 moves it beyond "quirky" and into "what the fuck?" territory.

WHAT the....! I flashed passed it first thinking 'there's nothing wrong with No. 2' then went back and actually jumped!

Whoa-ho-hooooa! :eek:

It's a weird enough house anyway (the kitchen is where the hall should be, surely?) but yes, picture 2 was a bit, er, unexpected.

Oh, you HAVE to send that to the Terrible EA Photos bloke. That is so creepy!

I'm not mad on the puppets hanging from the ceiling in photo 10 either. And why does the office have modern kitchen units while the kitchen is an exercise in dated wood?

I had missed the ceiling puppets. Guaranteed nightmares!

That house is really creepy. What are those bars on the ceiling in #10?!

smalex · Post by **smalex** » Sat Dec 05, 2015 11:31 am

I presume the bars are some sort of roof support. So probably not anything creepy!

Rebel Pebble · Post by **Rebel Pebble** » Sat Dec 05, 2015 11:31 am

I assumed they were meant to be supporting the roof in some way. Just a bit alarming, as opposed to creepy.

It is an incredibly odd ceiling/roof shape.

If you read the blurb, the house has an interesting history. It's just...wrong though, quite apart from the kitchen placement if you look at the floor plan none of the rooms flow properly into each other - the doors are in very odd places on the ground floor.

I'm almost tempted to have a viewing to see if it feels as off as I think it would.

Rebel Pebble · Post by **Rebel Pebble** » Sat Dec 05, 2015 11:36 am

And the ceiling/roofline is somewhat convex on the left as you look at the photo. :bob:

The whole building looks like it's bodged together from at least 3 different eras.

ETA: Oh, having read the blurb, it pretty much is!

humbugger · Post by **humbugger** » Sat Dec 05, 2015 11:56 am

Oh, I hadn't read the blurb. Now I find myself warming to its quirkiness. You should have a viewing and report back to us on the feel of the place, Del!

:vicarious:

They're either terribly badly drawn (probably )or bedroom 2 is the most bizarre shape.

They looks like water pipes! That house has a nuts layout. :lol:

This is not so terrible, although very modern and personality-less, but it is Ola and James Jordan's house

It looks completely unloved in, doesn't it? I know there's neutralising for the photos, but still. It looks empty, like their souls.

Obviously there's nothing wrong with it, but calling a huge plain lawn a "beautiful garden" is pushing it a bit!

Squirrel · Post by **Squirrel** » Sat Dec 05, 2015 4:08 pm

I love that weirdly shaped house

Squirrel · Post by **Squirrel** » Sat Dec 05, 2015 4:15 pm

Wow the Jordans' house is so bland and clinical. If I could afford a huge house like that in the first place, I'd set some budget aside and get a garden designer to make the most of the outside space as well instead of leaving it empty like that.

I thought it was going to be a paddock at first.
