That navy kitchen is cool. Not sure about those glass patio doors inside the house, they look weird, as do the silly pillars on the front.

I can't figure that house out at all.

Did they split the living room in two, creating what looks like an altar or something in one bit, and a telly room barely wider than the couch in the other?

No wonder they haven't provided a floor plan!

The decor isn't bad in fairness, I like the kitchen cabinet and those wooden floorboards that I think are actually tiles. Just need to get rid of the knick-knacks and those ostentatious pillars. That TV room is like something from Being John Malkovich. Couches wider than the front door.

Overall, the house wouldn't require much work, I'd say.

Settled traveller chic.
A masterclass in stupid expense put into a property at the same time managing to look cheap.

I'm getting a porcelain fetish vibe more than anything. That lampshade is one serious piece of work.

But no horse or religious representation.

So, more someone with a high level of individual taste.

Can you imagine what the estate agent was thinking as they took the photos?

I always wonder from looking at different houses, why there is sofas in the kitchen area. I know the kitchen is the heart of a home but a sofa is a bit extreme imo.

I have a sofa in mine and I'd never go back to not having one. The missus being Polish wanted one as she always had one in her family kitchen and well it makes a lot of sense. Providing you have the space for it, it's far more comfortable than sitting at the table. It makes being in the kitchen a far more relaxed affair.

That's mad, the first thing I thought of when I read 'sofa in the kitchen' is that our Polish neighbours have one. I never know where to sit.

It must be their version of having a toaster in the cupboard.

I thought everyone has a couch or chairs in the kitchen?
Do ye all go sit in the sittingroom to relax?
Is the kitchen not the heart of the home.......

Can't believe they didn't replace the carpet on the stairs/landing.. and no mention of the shed/house at the end of the garden

Chairs, ya; the wooden upright ones at the table where visitors sit until they get too uncomfortable and leave. Never give them something they can sink into.

Doesn't look like it to me at all. Just tacky taste - it's a common aesthetic at the moment among non Travellers where I grew up. It looks like a hair salon on South William Street.

House is in good nick though, easy to get in shape. The back garden is a let down though.

The clock in the kitchen is making my eye twitch.

The kitchen and most of the rooms are grand. Back garden could certainly use work.

I agree about the garden, I was expecting ornamental cherubs & a hot tub.

I wouldn't have immediately jumped to "settled traveller", except for the holy water font in the sitting room and the fact that they have external sliding doors as internal doors.

Other than the style though tbh, there wouldn't be a huge amount of work to de-tackify it. I expect the abundance of porcelain and crystal would be taken by the vendor, then all you need is a bit of painting and decorating. You could live with the sliding doors I guess, though I wouldn't be long swapping them out.

Looks more like a general font than holy. I'd say if you turned up at their door with a porcelain cricket bat they'd buy it off you.

A 'hape' of money spent downstairs and very little spent upstairs, Boss.

What's the deal with pupping external doors inside?

They either came off the back of a lorry or someone is missing their patio doors.

They're between the kitchen and back sitting room which was probably added as a later extension so I reckon the doors could have been the original ones out to the garden!
