I love how they call it wood panelling, as if it were a feature, rather than just a load of plywood :lol:

I lived in a flat in 1990 with that amount of cladding. We used to call the smallest room the sauna :))

Why are there B&Q torches in every bedroom? Did they forget to run a lighting circuit behind the awful wood cladding?
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

So they've boxed in a corner bath? How do you get out, just slide your wet arse across the the wooden bit?

Ist it so you can sit on the side and pretend you're having a foot spa?
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

How to get that sunken bath feel without the expense of, er, a sunken bath.

And that sauna house! :( I feel really sorry for it. I suppose it's a small mercy that they didn't get around to putting cladding on the outside of it as well.

What's the pipe thing on the left near the radiator?

Is it boxed in with wood or something else? The top looks very shiny!

I've gone cross eyed just looking at that first interior photo, never mind living there.

Oh dear. Beautiful house, terrible decor. You'd just rip 90% of it out and start again, wouldn't you?
