Crikey, these pictures are a rollercoaster. Most of the rooms are pastiche and kitsch, but kind of stick to a theme, until you get to the bathrooms and kitchen and WHAT IS HAPPENING? It’s like a house from The Sims where you just wanted to try a bit of everything - ThreadSky

"Extensively & Sympathetically Renovated To A Most Pleasing Standard… A Highly Individual Home With A Definite Splash Of Glamour" - well quite

grahameg6mzk.bsky.social•54 days ago

People are weird, especially other people.

kitkatgirl.bsky.social•54 days ago

Don’t mind me-I’m relaxing in my giant shoe

bashthebox.bsky.social•54 days ago

Someone got a bargain on stripping out an old chapel! I do like the pulpit shower ensuite, but what a bananas house. A lot of the decor *almost* works, but it isn't quite mad enough in a lot of places, and then it's just quite awful in other places - the nondrian kitchen, shoe bath etc

alexvont.bsky.social•54 days ago

“Nondrian” is just perfect

bashthebox.bsky.social•54 days ago

Shit, it's jan 5th and I've peaked

dysgwyr.bsky.social•54 days ago

Ynys Môn-drian more like

hpsvanessa.bsky.social•54 days ago

Oh! A try-everything sims house!! That’s exactly it. I think that’s why I love it.

katharinah.bsky.social•54 days ago

That bathroom made me laugh out loud, but what I found really unhinged was the kitchen. It's missing the sad clown painting from The Sims though.

cborshuk.bsky.social•54 days ago

Was not prepared for picture 26!

sarayasmin.bsky.social•54 days ago

Always thought my bedroom could do with a pulpit

woolfianjosh.bsky.social•54 days ago

they clearly did the rosebud;!;!;!;! cheat and clicked through to the expensive end of the furniture menu

alexvont.bsky.social•54 days ago

lol exactly this

jonathant1.bsky.social•54 days ago

You could film every series of Blackadder in this house, and still fit Ab Fab into the kitchen and bathroom

rhysneedham.bsky.social•54 days ago

How long before some children injure themselves sliding down that bath?

Getting Piet Mondrian to design the kitchen might be a bit much?

loreleiking.bsky.social•54 days ago

I LOVED the Mondrian wall in the kitchen - until you saw the sink, which made NO sense.

yolande.bsky.social•54 days ago

I kind of want a Mondrian/Rothko kitchen now. And obviously the shoe.

williamtuttlewho.bsky.social•54 days ago

I started muttering "oh no" immediately and gasped when I saw the shoe

superbreeze.bsky.social•54 days ago

I imagine living on stryd y castell must be magical though ❤️

evaschmeva.bsky.social•54 days ago

not that this makes me any kind of an expert on UK real estate and home decor, but…we sometimes watch Escape and it seems like not infrequently the homes for sale on that show do the same sort of thing where the living room/bedrooms are very traditional and the kitchen is SO modern?

gingertotty.bsky.social•54 days ago

Gloriously utter bonkers. I salute them

42nodes.bsky.social•54 days ago

The flowery sales description:
>>Extensively & Sympathetically Renovated To A Most Pleasing Standard
A Highly Individual Home With A Definite Splash Of Glamour<<😆

alexvont.bsky.social•54 days ago

Fully on board with the pulpit shower and the font sink in the ensuite, though. Those are awesome

thatdocphoenix.com•54 days ago

If you clearly have more money than sense, why opt for sense? Bit sad they don’t have a slide from the bedroom window to outside

alexvont.bsky.social•54 days ago

I suppose that might have been frowned upon by the Grade II* listing people

callummay.bsky.social•54 days ago

The bed covered with a sheet but no mattress is confusing me

beardsandennui.bsky.social•54 days ago

It's like every room was decorated by a different person, none of whom had ever met, or seen the rest of the house

pauljwhite.bsky.social•54 days ago

I like the *idea* of the Mondrian kitchen units, but if I had to live with them, I'd probably take a hammer to the whole thing after a fortnight!

techpriest.bsky.social•54 days ago

After getting over the shock of the bathroom I scrolled on and was WTFing all over again when I got to the kitchen lol

andygilder.bsky.social•54 days ago

The pulpit overlooking the bed though. Like God is watching what you do in there and judging you

alexvont.bsky.social•54 days ago

God is SHOWERING in there (I suppose he is omnipresent)

andygilder.bsky.social•54 days ago

Cleanliness is next to godliness, I suppose

jamesholmes.bsky.social•54 days ago

Simple Simon enthusiast designed the kitchen

nuitsdeyoung.bsky.social•54 days ago

Absolutely!

nuitsdeyoung.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yes, & that first exterior pic made me assume that it was actually a doll's house.

craigburley.com•54 days ago

I love it all, I may be quite ill

seanedmund.bsky.social•54 days ago

The font sink is genuinely incredible.

alexvont.bsky.social•54 days ago

100% would have one

seanedmund.bsky.social•54 days ago

Anointing my toothbrush with toothpaste every morning and every evening would never get boring. Although my wife might disagree.

nick-pettigrew.bsky.social•54 days ago

What’s the process with a bath like that? Do you think “I must have an enormous shoe-shaped bath” then try to find a shop that sells them or are you strolling around “Massive Shoe-Shaped Furniture Warehouse” when you come across that bath & decide you must own it?

brockstrongo.bsky.social•54 days ago

And is it a bit like a water slide where you get on at the top of the heal and slide in…

alexvont.bsky.social•54 days ago

I feel like there are a lot of stories here and we can but glimpse them

sorrykb.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yeah, part of this is “We went to a COE auction,” but…
ok even that part is weird, but the rest of it is *incongruently* weird .

cheesetastingco.bsky.social•54 days ago

THE GIANT SHOE

alexvont.bsky.social•54 days ago

Ned. I must bathe in the giant shoe. Filled with champagne

ibegeebee.bsky.social•54 days ago

Better that than wash your face with coffee in the espresso cup sink

cheesetastingco.bsky.social•54 days ago

Well, I mean clearly you must.

mandalee.bsky.social•54 days ago

'Highly individual home' = utterly bonkers

jaketilson.bsky.social•54 days ago

It begins with an early-Tomb Raider mansion vibe, clunky unscaled furniture, but yes, then it goes full SIMS.

camgottaplan.bsky.social•54 days ago

875K?! Prices are so mental in the UK.

jomills35.bsky.social•54 days ago

This is exactly it - I can't see the person who's done all those rooms choosing that kitchen. Much as the bath is THE headline bonkers thing, I can just about fathom the human who did the other rooms choosing that bath.

lucyantal.bsky.social•54 days ago

What the actual hell is that bathroom?

ohmalarkey.bsky.social•54 days ago

WTF… I went in knowing it’d be something odd. But it still blew my mind.

jamtoday.bsky.social•54 days ago

I screamed out loud when I got to the first one.
