As a hi fi enthusiast, the acoustics of those rooms looks awful. And why have a TV lounge laid out so that people all watch the screen from the side, probably with reduced contrast due to the viewing angle.

Well yes but I'm more concerned with the odd foreground items. Is the weird stacked grape candle and cookie picture important? What does the artichoke signify?

Pricey gaff = wanky estate agent who thinks people want to see pointless closeups of things that won't be in the house should they move in.

This isn’t your rich cousin’s Rawdon

The estate agent to any middle aged man looking at this advert

Yeah, yeah, but that bottle-filled bookcase feels like it crosses some line.

So many questions

£1.75m being one of them

georgegawler.bsky.social•157 days ago

It's mahoosive - over 400 square metres! And it can do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs

catnipxword.bsky.social•157 days ago

£750k for the house
£1m for the vibes

Tbf it looks like he was the chief influence on the whole lot

Not sure they've got enough gin

taniadoney.bsky.social•156 days ago

Is there enough gin for that?

bloomineck.bsky.social•155 days ago

All the photos make me feel cold. A place to shivver in and slowly become mentally ill.

"Watching home cinema ain't like dusting crops boy."

Is that an interrogation droid in there or a light fitting?

simian60.bsky.social•157 days ago

My main problem with it is that it's a £1.75m house and the TV has a soundbar.

aremay.bsky.social•157 days ago

Is it the one with the most obviously apparent personality?

preachypreach.bsky.social•157 days ago

Fair comment

preachypreach.bsky.social•157 days ago

Garden’s quite nice

aremay.bsky.social•157 days ago

There's definitely potential here (the office, for example, feels a little more human) but it does look like a show home in parts, to me. Large, sterile expanses with a smattering of 'things'.

preachypreach.bsky.social•157 days ago

The freshly baked cookie and cook book open to a steak recipe are all very much of that “how to prime your audience” stuff when I’m pretty sure you’re not *that* far from the runway for Leeds Bradford

aremay.bsky.social•157 days ago

You're reasonably close, but also shrouded with trees and Rawdon is between you and the airport; so it'd be intermittent but not world-changing, I'd say?

bobdazla.bsky.social•157 days ago

At least the beds are normal size, in the US they have special show house beds that are a few feet shorter to make the bedroom look bigger, and it fooled me.😁

rosamundi.bsky.social•157 days ago

Also, stairs of death.

brokenbanker.bsky.social•157 days ago

magnificent. brb, just checking removal companies in the Leeds area.

vinylcarbooty.bsky.social•157 days ago

Well that didn't take long.

Why do all these expensive houses resemble airport hospitality lounges? Wood floors, tiles everywhere, plate glass and big sofas.
How about a few pictures on the walls and a bit of colour here and there?
