That is a seriously weird house. With so many rooms!! Although I do like the deck and pool...

The Grauniad’s fantasy home section linked to this beauty. I always find it strange when people convert chapels or churches into homes so much space! But this one is quite a good attempt.

It's so 90s! And not in a good way. I mean I know it's a B&B, but it's not homely at all.

I don't mind it as a b&b, but the wood is too orangey for my liking and the reception desk is a bit much.

Yes, it’s not nice. It *could* be but isn’t.

I don’t like it either. The communal rooms are OK for a B&B but the bedrooms are all out of proportion. I think the ceilings are so high it makes the rooms look tiny.

I think I’ve seen that on a property programme. It’s horrible though.

I don’t even know where to start with this one: https://www.domain.com.au/2-cedarton-dr ... 2017492731 It’s like a robot wrote the property description and it looks a bit like a murder house inside.

"Filled with wildlife and absolutely stunning features this property has to offer, it will be a waste not to find out more below"

Wildlife rampaging around the rooms and hallways!

That is some dodgy writing :lol:

It’s the weirdest property description ever! I also never noticed Phil’s “I’m crazy, me!” photo.

It looks somehow as though the people who live in it can't afford to live in it.

Is the black chair in one of the first bedrooms pictured some kind of disabled aid?

It’s one of those massage chairs they sell in the middle of shopping centres here for $$$.

They inflate to help "prevent" DVT or something too, I think? I might be imagining that.

Was it some kind of a holiday park? People paid to go there????

It's quite frankly terrifying.

Also it says it was last sold in 2021...?

Oh my god! That house is horrifying! Where to even start. Love that Phillip chose the red murder hallways with finger prints all over the creepy mirrors as one of the first photos.
