Somebody found out that ancient Roman emperors used marble and went all in on that McMansion lifestyle.

With that much stone they should install drainage grates in every room so you can just spray the place down instead of mopping/dusting/sweeping

They got the New Jersey package from their contractor

That price is obscene. That would be £100-150K where I live. It's this some southern thing?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

probably. according to zoopla it went for 365k in 2021. changing hands for this silly money is especially obscene since it would have previously been sold for a pittance under the right to buy

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Inside the M25? It's almost shocking that it isn't double the price (not justifying this in any way, just making a point of how obscene housing prices have become, especially in greater London)

There's a bang of drug money off this.

Stunning? Like in, a taser stunning they mean?

That first photo - I though I was looking at a scrap heap that had already been gutted, covered in mould and rubbish and ripped up wall paper, before I realised that was just the tilling.. 🤯

The bedrooms don't look too offensive, but the rest is just so overwhelming and off putting.. Those stairs! I wish them luck lol

E: The more I think about it, the more I'm wondering if Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen did a revenge edition of Changing Rooms in there 😂(not just the look, but also the idea that it's all just cheap mdf painted to look like marble, rather than actual marble)

Oh my gaudy

Before seeing this I had no idea what it meant to have a tasteful home and now I know what it means to have a tasteless home.

There's so many things stuffed into this house that nothing has any flavor. I'm sure this will be useful information

Is that... a napkin dispenser built into the stair wall?

Those UK row houses with their claustrophobic rooms and tiny fenced in backyards are so sad.

It's to remind you that you're poor

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

If you can afford a £450k house you're not that poor.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Jesus, that's insane. Tbh, that's the kinda house I'd want: unassuming on the outside, extravagant and surreal on the inside.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Am I weird, or it doesn't look bad?

Somebody's been recording home movies!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Much more likely that the agent just didn't want to be in the photo.

Wait.....who took this picture?! This must be....a vampire's house!

That's some real whiplash going from the exterior to the interior

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I know right, if you could afford to do that to the interior, why on earth wouldn't you at least paint your house

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's in a shitty area. Think of the shitty exterior as camouflage. Burgler isn't going to bother with the run down shitbox house.

The bathroom looks like it's 1 meter wide and no more.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I've never seen a sink behind the toilet before. It does make a nice little shelf for your comic books and chocolate milk though.
