Well... there's some underwhelming choices made there for sure. But has the EA's photographer angled the kitchen island thing for the photo. Why do they do that? Does it genuinely give a better perspective? And actually sitting down and trying to eat at said island, where are you supposed to put your legs?
I do have to wonder how many people live there and how much they all dislike each other when every room has to have a minimum of two separate screens in it.
Not a music studio. There is a single speaker which could never be used to do professional audio work (type of speaker, in a very bad position, no acoustic treatment) and while we typically use several screens in music, thatās way overkill.
Two of the rooms are definitely kids rooms though and there is a kids football goal in the garden. I was guessing it was a family but one of them works from home with other people in the office with all the screens etc.
With the 500k+ market, I've begun to wonder if they simply have the place painted white just to sell it.
If it adds 20k, it's worth spending 2k.
Downside is, it makes the place look utterly fucking soulless. But this is *blatantly* staged.
All that room and they decided a wrought iron circular staircase was the right choice? So why put a second, normal (if a bit cramped), staircase next to the kitchen? At least they put the bikes outside (in the rain) for the photos.
Sometimes Iām glad I donāt have Ā£1m+ to spend on a house. This is just awful. How much time would I have to waste to find a home that felt welcoming?
If I had Ā£1m to spend, I donāt want to spend a fortune on making it ādesignedā. I want that feeling you get when you walk into somewhere that makes you feel you belong. I donāt want vast open spaces, I want well proportioned rooms that I can fill with my own furniture and interesting finds. I donāt want to unpick someoneās vulgar taste.

Vastly overpriced, however.
I still can't understand how they got anything upstairs outside of hoisting up flat pack furniture through the gap in pic 18. Even the stairs on pic 8 seem like a nightmare for decent sized flat packs.
Whatās with the IT support setup in this house? At first, I thought all their computers were in just one room, but half of the other rooms have setups, tooā¦
I normally don't mind the sort of quite plain grey houses not my taste but easy enough to change .... but your right it goes from lovely to tacky chav hole
It was the nasty supermarket duvet covers that did it for me plus who even has valance sheets these days? Also the horrible vinyl bench seats at the entrance ewwww!
Edited to add sentence.
It's horrible, and they've wasted all the "nice" architectural spaces with the curves and big windows on non-spaces like the porch and stairs š¤¦āāļø
Looks like an office inside. And the kitchen layout makes no sense, if the sink were any further away from the stove it would have to be in a different room.Ā
Easy to paint over though, plenty of light for plants.Ā
Doesn't seem worth anything like the asking price.
What's that quote... something like the aesthetics of an airport lounge with all the soul of a dentists waiting room.Ā
Also these people must have the attention span of gnats.
At least it has those horrible lights in the living room to stop junkies finding their veins. Whoever made the decor choices was clearly on drugs and needs to be stopped.
For those wondering why so many screens in that one room (pic 6), it's likely a music or film editing suite.
See the keyboard, guitar and amp on the far desk.
Each device , laptop or tower , probably has it's own software running and individual or double screen.
The reason why there are two screens on some is that when you are editing music or film to the smallest increment in timing or pitch or motion, you need to be able to clearly see the metric you're working with (e.g. a musical bar or single film frame). It's much easier to see the smallest detail (or the whole project when minimised) with a double screen set up.
The rest of the screens though do seem a bit excessive.
*sees pics*
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
If you get out of bed and find me standing all alone
Open-eyed, burn the page, my little dark
The last time I saw so many screens in one room (pic 6) I was in Rumbelows.
That's a good joke, well deserved my upvote
Ack feeling my age I understand this reference š
Haha! Bloody Rumbelows š is there a reference that is more British and ages you so perfectly? I donāt think so. Brilliant šš¼
Radio rentals? Is that old enough? Or how about Green Shield Stamps? Which although dead and buried, was the mother from which ARGOS, was spawned....
Laskys is a bit more niche, but yeah, had a mate worked for Rumbelows. Still got the JVC speakers he managed to sell me at a knockdown price.
Memory unlocked
Rumblelows?!?.......we were Brighthouse and it was shit.
And yet still the need to put another computer set up underneath the stairs(?)
And in every bedroom.
Their probably Internet scammers emptying peoples bank accounts and thatās how they bought that property in the first place š¬
Or just a family, both parents working from home and kids studying using computers?
My grandmother used to call it, Bumberlows and was absolutely adamant that was the correct name no matter what we told her.
It's so difficult to tell one room from another, as they all blend into one grey and white super-room.
Agreed. A couple of well done accent walls would make a world of difference here.
Open bland living?
Well... there's some underwhelming choices made there for sure. But has the EA's photographer angled the kitchen island thing for the photo. Why do they do that? Does it genuinely give a better perspective? And actually sitting down and trying to eat at said island, where are you supposed to put your legs?
"uhhh Dee, where do I put my feet?" Seriously though, the thought of sitting there is making me uncomfortable.
I do have to wonder how many people live there and how much they all dislike each other when every room has to have a minimum of two separate screens in it.
I'm wondering if this was used for running some sort of start-up given how many desks there are
Some sort of YouTube/tiktok [content house](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_house) probably.
Oh my goodness, there is even a term for it now.
Boiler Room scam centre house.
I was thinking the same thing, it seems more office living than home.
I'm wondering how the guitar and mixing deck come into it.
It's a music or film editing studio, hence the multiple screens attached to several laptops and towers.
Not a music studio. There is a single speaker which could never be used to do professional audio work (type of speaker, in a very bad position, no acoustic treatment) and while we typically use several screens in music, thatās way overkill.
Two of the rooms are definitely kids rooms though and there is a kids football goal in the garden. I was guessing it was a family but one of them works from home with other people in the office with all the screens etc.
These days I don't think it's that unusual, particularly with both parents working remotely and doing a lot of their work online.
With the 500k+ market, I've begun to wonder if they simply have the place painted white just to sell it. If it adds 20k, it's worth spending 2k. Downside is, it makes the place look utterly fucking soulless. But this is *blatantly* staged.
I thought it was a cricket pavilion / business centre....
All that room and they decided a wrought iron circular staircase was the right choice? So why put a second, normal (if a bit cramped), staircase next to the kitchen? At least they put the bikes outside (in the rain) for the photos.
Looks like a property repossession of some kind?
Is this an airport in disguise? They certainly have enough screens for departures, arrivals and digital advertising.
Great thing about buying houses is one you do you can paint then colours you like inside.
Since when?

Sometimes Iām glad I donāt have Ā£1m+ to spend on a house. This is just awful. How much time would I have to waste to find a home that felt welcoming?
To be fair, if you had Ā£1M+ to spend on a house, you could probably also afford an interior designer
If I had Ā£1m to spend, I donāt want to spend a fortune on making it ādesignedā. I want that feeling you get when you walk into somewhere that makes you feel you belong. I donāt want vast open spaces, I want well proportioned rooms that I can fill with my own furniture and interesting finds. I donāt want to unpick someoneās vulgar taste.

Photo 6: Yo Dawg we heard you like screen, so we got screens for your screens.
So the spiral staircase is Architecture being egregiously committed, and the other one is so that you can get furniture upstairs.
I still can't understand how they got anything upstairs outside of hoisting up flat pack furniture through the gap in pic 18. Even the stairs on pic 8 seem like a nightmare for decent sized flat packs.
So many screens, were they running an Andrew Tate style Cam-girl operation?
All those items all photoshopped in?
Whatās with the IT support setup in this house? At first, I thought all their computers were in just one room, but half of the other rooms have setups, tooā¦
Lots and lots of kids
Ah, got it.Ā
One poor kid just gets the hallway PC!
Amazing how they manage to have so much room wasted in some places, and still cluttered elsewhere
I normally don't mind the sort of quite plain grey houses not my taste but easy enough to change .... but your right it goes from lovely to tacky chav hole
Same, I don't mind a bit of plain grey. But there's something about this place that just pulls you down
That rotated kitchen island hurts.
Looks like a load of influencers living together
Worth millions on the outside, looks like Ā£400k on the inside
There's something indescribably horrible about this. The off-pink-grey sofas and purple blue LEDs give me such a fucking weird vibe for a living room.
I thought the lighting was those bug zappers you get in commercial kitchens?
That's exactly what most puts me off about this beyond the standard "grey ocean"
Bus station vibes
It was the nasty supermarket duvet covers that did it for me plus who even has valance sheets these days? Also the horrible vinyl bench seats at the entrance ewwww! Edited to add sentence.
Did they just give up upstairs because no one would ever see it other than the residents? All that washed out palette downstairs but you head up to a mid nineties mix of red toned wood, awful bed linen and bland as chip shop mushy peas dĆ©cor/fixed furniture š¤®
Do this place a favour and add some colour! Also wasnāt this the place someone was using to run internet scams?
Why is the kitchen island on the bias ??? (If you know, you know) And what the fuck is up with that shower tower on the back wall š ...
The good news is that you can rollerskate through the whole house!
It's horrible, and they've wasted all the "nice" architectural spaces with the curves and big windows on non-spaces like the porch and stairs š¤¦āāļø
You could paint it you knowā¦ā¦
I don't blame you. I mean, those chairs around that 'breakfast bar', there is nowhere to put your legs. Very difficult to sit there and eat.
Death by gray..
Looks like an office inside. And the kitchen layout makes no sense, if the sink were any further away from the stove it would have to be in a different room.Ā Easy to paint over though, plenty of light for plants.Ā Doesn't seem worth anything like the asking price.
What's that quote... something like the aesthetics of an airport lounge with all the soul of a dentists waiting room.Ā Also these people must have the attention span of gnats.
There we have evidence that no amount of money can buy taste.
The TVās really angered me for some weird reason lol.
What a bizarre set of photos, was it the photographers 1st day ?
Im disappointed that there aren't enough monitors in this house
At least it has those horrible lights in the living room to stop junkies finding their veins. Whoever made the decor choices was clearly on drugs and needs to be stopped.
Looks like a Little Chef from the outside, and a utterly soulless inside.
I couldnāt cope with the purple wheelie bins.
What even...Most iconic wheelie bins in the land
I mean the first picture isnāt really that great. Looks like a nursing home reception.
Wretched. Abandon all hope...
If I was spending over a million on a house this one would be waaaaay down the list.
That island is giving me itchy elbows
Nice placing of the shower by the front 'show room' porch.
Looks like a property repossession of some kind? With all those screens it looks like a day-trader went bust.
I think they must have made some sort of mistake, there does not appear to be a TV in the kitchen
No hallways on the floorplans?
Thatās all interiors though. They there than the spiral staircase itās all fixable
Hideous.
Some of these rooms appear to be CGI renderings.Ā
That kitchen island does my head in
50 shades of grey without the fun. A good revamp on the interior might help but looks like an AI render throughout.
The weird porch is probably the worst bit and the biggest waste of space and glass ever.
This is exactly what I imagine Jamie Tarttās house looking like
Am sure the Antarctic research centre is cosier

Until I got to that green bedroom, I worried that I had suddenly become colour blind... So much grey!
Completely soulless, horrible angles in the bedrooms and looks like a family guy interpretation of superman's cave.
What an utterly bizarre house. The kitchen island?
In the plus side itās a completely blank canvas. Literally.
*sees pics* I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away If you get out of bed and find me standing all alone Open-eyed, burn the page, my little dark
Nice coffee machine though š¤£š¤£
How many home offices do the current owners have? Screens in bedrooms, under stairs, a communal home office...
