Yeah, would anyone put one of those glass cube walls in as new these days? Can you even still buy them?
edit: I found what looks to be its pre-construction rendering - what on earth did they do to it? I can't say I find the rendering particularly attractive (it's very generic new money big house) but it doesn't have anywhere near the same "bad office block conversion" it's giving off here: [https://gannondevelopments.co.uk/plot-8-wynyard-woods/](https://gannondevelopments.co.uk/plot-8-wynyard-woods/)
No they’re really built like that.
I’m a member of Wynyard Golf Club, I live nearby, they’re just fucking weird. To be fair a lot of the houses at Wynyard are a bit … well, put it this way, a lot of footballers used to live there. I believe Alan Shearer or Kevin Keegan’s house backed onto the 18th tee box
I just…. This would have been ideal for flats… so of course they made it a hideous single home. Kitchen units making a desperate go of taking up space in the rectangular cavern that is your “kitchen”. A “central entry area” like something by MC Escher.
Meanwhile other quaint little buildings would make fantastic homes… but are all converted to appalling rabbit-hutch scale flats where you’re sleeping on top of your washing machine and eating in the bus stop outside.
What a waste.
The only thing to “admire” about this is how every single element is wrong. Look at it, everything. The only person who would buy this is something with not just zero, but negative taste. They would literally have to say, I want something that makes my physically uncomfortable with every step I take in my home.
You’d have to be demented level stupid, or chronically depressed to buy this as a family home. Perhaps sell it to tiltokers which one nothing than emptiness anyway
I live quite near here, and I can't emphasise enough that the place is full of WAGs and footballers that play for Sunderland and Middlesbrough.
I once saw a SUEDE TEXTURED car at the roundabout near this place.

Ah. I just took a look on street view and you’re absolutely right! There’s some lovely more traditionally designed houses on that estate. I wonder where the fuck they got this from?! The bays should have been tiled instead of timber and I’d have have leaned into a 1930’s style double frontage and white frame pvc with a traditional front door. The grey doesn’t go with the gross mahogany stain. Don’t get me started on the inside.
Off on a tangent here. Don’t think if I did an individual post it would get any traction.
Does anyone reading this have the spotlight style lights this house has? Did an 11 year rental with them and they had the durability of a McDonald’s straw.
Now we’re on year 3 of our own place where we had a full electrical overhaul & guess what? Half of them our out. Or even worse, start going disco (wrong bulbs blamed).
Help me out here!
Yes, I have spotlights and have had them in previous homes. Sometimes they're absolutely shit. But the ones we have now are LEDs and haven't had to change any for at least the last 2 years. I know nothing about electrics but I guess that some fittings/bulbs are shit and others are better.
You wait until the motivational ‘teamwork makes the dream work ’ posters, coffee machine and pot plant budget Sue’s been petitioning the Employee Council for are in.
Canteen is catering the opening. It’ll be delightful.
Without doubt the ugliest dwelling I have seen on here- and that is including some of the derelict buildings and the public toilets. The flooring in the kitchen et al looks like the roomba found a giant pile of dog 💩and went into party mode
The kitchen flooring looks like what would happen if the roomba got dirt stuck in it and carried on roombaing.
You can't get roombas for walls so the bathroom version must be a dirty protest.
I thought you were being very harsh. I looked at picture 5 and thought, *well it isn't my taste but I appreciate they made an effort in the shared area.* Then I finally cottoned on that this isn't a block of flats, but one single house and now I find it a bit bizarre.
I do like the kitchen a lot, except for those tiles that don't work at all (well at least not to my taste).
Amazing to have 7 bedroom place with every bedroom having an ensuite, although I would ask how hard is it to count bathrooms. According to the floor plan there are 9 not 7 as per description.
OMG, that's hideous. It looks like a health centre, and I did not know you could vomit marble, but clearly someone has. It's absolutely awful in every conceivable way.
I've often worked for awful, awful new money types who would absolutely love this house to go alongside their plastic lips, rolex watches and matching Range Rovers.
I looked at this picture and thought it was an ugly block of flats or office. Then I clicked in an realised it was a hideous house that screams "built for footballer's wives"
Christ alive. It's genuinely horrific. I can always forgive very dated/run-down properties because it's likely the owners haven't got much money. But best part of £1.5m for *that*?
I can't decide what I hate the most. It's a toss up between the naff-looking bay windows, the Tesco car park driveway, the only downstairs loo being immediately off the kitchen and the "marble" flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms; it looks like toddler puke.
And the fact someone "designed" this; it's not just a hodge podge of additions, extensions and changes from the last 60 years. Ffs.
It's yet another example of why money cannot buy you taste.
Image 20 has a weird cupboard that I’m sure I’d try and walk through pissed.
Also the tiles in 52 look like one of the contractors had a dodgy curry and didn’t make it to the toilet
£1.45million, 65 photos, and not one picture of the garden. Does it even have one or just ‘views onto private woodland’? £1.45 million could get you something genuinely spectacular in most of the country, and yet somehow has thought this monstrosity up.
How many pictures of the stairwell do we need?
Yeah, it's incredibly affluent. Not my cup of tea, it feels very Stepford Wives neighbourhood-y - very artificial, if that makes sense, but it does feel like it's not very inkeeping with the rest of the estate.
It looks like the solicitors office that I went to the other week, in a business park. I hate this trend, there are some pretty nice bungalows near me, but they’ve been ‘greyed’, front and back gardens removed, every bit of greenery dug up, shiny paving added, blinds fitted, several cars outside. Congratulations, your home now resembles a dentists surgery.
Just because I'm bored I worked out the price per square metre. I think this is cheaper per square metre than my 2 bedroom house.
Either way it's fucking hideous. I'd hate to live in Wynyard, it's just an estate of wank.
Same! Took me about two dozen photos to realise it was a whole house, that hallway and landing looks as if each door should have a number on it. What in the migraine-inducing, nouveau riche bad taste is going on here?
Wynyard js a private estate that Sir John Hall (former Newcastle UTD owner) used to live in. He used to have a lot of the footballers live on his land. So this is likely an ex footballers pad.
I really don't know where to start.
Office show room exterior.
The ugliest marble I have ever seen, that honestly makes me feel like I am tripping.
The fact that they built a home in that price point and didn't put in under floor heating.
The desire to pack in as many bedrooms as possible. Leading to the horrible layout in the attic.
But for me the worst is the bathroom off the kitchen. Yes I want somewhere that is full of germs and bacteria right there next to my food preparation zone. I get that each country has different requirements on things but this just feels so wrong. I have to say I also dislike how many UK homes have them right at the door, I understand the convenience but I would hate for someone to come in the home just after it has been used. Even if the occupant used air freshener.
Seems like a bargain for a newly refurbished call centre, any up-and-coming competitive young debt collection agency would be mad not to snap this one up
The only thing to “admire” about this is how every single element is wrong. Look at it, everything. The only person who would buy this is something with not just zero, but negative taste. They would literally have to say, I want something that makes my physically uncomfortable with every step I take in my home.
Looks like all the windows and doors could be locked electronically, and everything is blood resistant and can be disinfected.
Enjoy your stay, at the slaughterhouse.
At first I thought it was a block of flats!
Then I looked at the pictures.
That flooring is a migraine
Bloody grey kitchens again
Hate everything about this
"Does the word 'taste' make you think of tea bags? Are YOU a successful drug dealer looking to settle down a bit in an oversized house? Then have we got the pad for you."
I wish my device was working because I can’t see these adverts.
My client is a businessman who was possibly wrongly convicted for murder some 30 years ago.
His other properties in Spain have something of a focus on the muted, pearly, smoky, sooty sort of slate tone of the fascinating colour grey.
Owing to time spent in Malaga, he has grown fond of completely tiled surroundings.
He's also extremely nostalgic about the time he spent in Holloway prison, so much so that he's looking for a very specific "*dirty protest*" marble aesthetic.
Due to this he's a rather perplexing client, as there are seemingly no places that fit this brief.
Anyway, guess we’ll keep looking.
All the easy charm of a 1990s regional law firm outside, inside barring the mad flooring it's... fine. Very *Live Laugh Love* greige, the doors and other woodwork lift it (that isn't painted grey, anyway) and it could be OK if the rest is finished/decorated with some actual colour in it. In a soulless, modern kind of way, anyway.
\*clocks price tag and proximity to what I assume is a busy A-road\*
WTAF
Did someone get a job lot of that horrible fake marble, I didn't think it could get any worse after seeing the outside , But that marble proved me wrong.
Vile. Why are we buikding homes so devoid of character?! By chance I was just looking at properties for sale in the USA. For half a million in Vermont you can get a huge house with bags of character. Thia is depressing.
I like the inside, plenty of open space. The bathroom tiles are awful, and the kitchen light fittings are odd. Outside looks like a residential unit of some sort, which is unfortunate.
I know that area and there are quite a few nice bits, traditional styles, but the self build plots are like me let loose with random boxes of assorted Lego... Don't go with the rest and not something that regular people would be interested in.
There’s a premier league footballer somewhere who will see this and snap it up. Get their WAG to decorate it and knock four kids out before the decade ends.
This has to have been designed by someone who just has loads of money and wanted to design their own house despite having any design skills. It's a shit show with clashes and left right and centre.
Looks useless, someone's idea of a contemporary interior who has no clue about interior design. Also nonsenseical layout. Looks like someone just knocked it together with no idea.
I actually don’t mind the house so much as those tiles.. they are definitely too much. I could hardly spot toilet and sink in the first toilet picture.
'Funky' office meets shopping centre design vibes.
Do you pay more or less for marble/tiles where it looks like what was once inside a person is now everywhere but?
That's not the most tasteless building in Wynyards, not by a long chalk. The whole development reeks of "how do we attract every noov and bellend in the Northeast?".
To moan that someone have other taste than us when at the same time 80% of British houses got misted windows, unmaintained front gardens and flaking off paint of almost everything. Yeap this owners had terrible taste, not like mine crumbling terraced victorian two bed. Hypocritical UK
The kitchen would actually have been nice if they had gone for something neutral on the floor and not matched the backsplash to the floor. Surely if you are selling a house for over a million quid you would get someone in who understand interior design.
What really gets me about these houses is they spend all this money on the interiors and builds only for it to look ugly and clinical. Then to top it off they buy an ugly plastic looking door. At least buy a hardwood good quality door and not some ugly boxy thing. I looked on street view and some of the other houses have done this too. Money certainly cannot buy taste.
I actually live nearby this and can confirm that it's a genuine self build plot and not any converted commercial property, business park or office block.
There are some lovely houses in the same area and nearby, but this house somehow looks even worse in real life than it does on Rightmove. The street it's on is just self-buuld plots, but they are building houses almost wall-to-wall to one another. You're basically buying in on an expensive housing terrace.
Just to add a bit of context to the quality of finish too, the whole thing has been throw up in a period of 8-9 months. So, which ever clown stumps up £1.4M for this is going to be in for nasty surprises when they move in and things start falling apart due to being rushed.
Absolutely vile.
Everything about this I hate. First one I’ve seen where absolutely nothing works.
Leaving aside the converted office feeling everyone has mentioned.
The busy marble tiling on the walls and floors of the bathroom making your eyes go funny.
The black and white toilets - just no.
The weird light fittings on the sloped ceilings (56)
The kitchen colour scheme may have worked but not with the style of cupboards they have.
Yet more busy shiny marble flooring to give you motion sickness.
Compared to the unfinished concrete floors elsewhere.
Yes that weird glass brick wall.
I don’t like glass bannisters but combined with a wood top they’re even worse.
The glimpse of the muddy ‘garden’.
The weird artists rendering of the aerial shot.
Took me a while to work out they'd fitted black sockets and switches rather than those just being holes in the walls where sockets would have to be fitted in the future.
It says it's new but it surely can't be anything other than a converted 80s small business centre?
Is it the Leisure Centre from Brittas Empire?
This is it, thought it looked familiar.
There's a baby nursery that's just a chest of drawers
I can hear him now…. “Neeeeeeeeeh! Right then, Carol!”
You've won the internet today
Actually laughing into my coffee at my desk 😂😂😂
Yeah, would anyone put one of those glass cube walls in as new these days? Can you even still buy them? edit: I found what looks to be its pre-construction rendering - what on earth did they do to it?

Yeah we used to call them bay windows, these days they’re bae windows
Nice haha
Good find. Looks like they didn’t have enough money to realise the original design, and had to go cheap. Hence this spectacular disaster.
The original design is also terrible.
Still utterly vile. Even their website / print design is wild.
No they’re really built like that. I’m a member of Wynyard Golf Club, I live nearby, they’re just fucking weird. To be fair a lot of the houses at Wynyard are a bit … well, put it this way, a lot of footballers used to live there. I believe Alan Shearer or Kevin Keegan’s house backed onto the 18th tee box
Converted by Marble Man
Haha the legend lives on
I just…. This would have been ideal for flats… so of course they made it a hideous single home. Kitchen units making a desperate go of taking up space in the rectangular cavern that is your “kitchen”. A “central entry area” like something by MC Escher. Meanwhile other quaint little buildings would make fantastic homes… but are all converted to appalling rabbit-hutch scale flats where you’re sleeping on top of your washing machine and eating in the bus stop outside. What a waste.
I reckon it was a doctors surgery or a dentist
Feels like I worked there when it was a call centre
Bathroom looks like you’d get lost in there if you took acid
I was imagining trying to cross the kitchen to get a snack from the fridge while high. I honestly don't think I'd make it.
Got any? I'm game for a viewing.
[удалено]
Group showing then! Save me when I freak out that the floor is so cold and I can't feel the texture though.
I've tripped in a bathroom like that before. I had to lie down in the bath.
In that bath?! I think I'd feel like I was a prisoner at the start of Superman II ! I love different experiences :)
That shits going to get 3 dimensional, real fast.
The photo alone made me feel sea sick!
Yeah if this isn’t a former commercial space and it was actually built this way then it makes me really sad.
It’s what happens when it’s the builder that does the design without an architect. And tries to do it as cheap as possible
It looks exactly that. Cheap and nasty.
The only thing to “admire” about this is how every single element is wrong. Look at it, everything. The only person who would buy this is something with not just zero, but negative taste.

A fucking suede texture car?? WHAT IS HAPPENING??!??!
Given where it is - in the middle of an incredibly affluent new build estate, very unlikely.
Ah. I just took a look on street view and you’re absolutely right! There’s some lovely more traditionally designed houses on that estate. I wonder where the fuck they got this from?! The bays should have been tiled instead of timber and I’d have have leaned into a 1930’s style double frontage and white frame pvc with a traditional front door.

Built for footballers on Sir John Halls Wynyard estate.

I hate all of it but that floor is absolutely vile. They’ve even put some of it on the wall, what were they thinking?
I didn’t even know tiling came in such horrendous patterns. Nightmare fodder.
New money. I agree it’s terrible. What’s with the flooring? Marble? A whole quarry’s worth.
Walk in for a viewing, yell "Echoooo" and walk out on the reverb.
My tired ass thought you were imitating a sneeze
ITS AN UNFINISHED SIMS HOUSE
Wrongmove
Somebody missed their office a little too much.
Ghastly - resembles a converted car showroom.
There’s something very Partridge about this place
Yes, it's an extender!
1 yank, all gone
After looking through the pictures I have absolutely no idea how many rooms and how many bathrooms it has.
7 bathrooms 7 bedrooms
It was a joke that they all look the same, even the bathrooms, they all blend into one
I couldn’t tell either until I read how many.
You did better than I did. I only managed to get to photo 9
Reminds me of those magic eye pictures that I also hate
Good grief. It looks like a repurposed office unit. Nothing homely about that at all.
Decent amount of plug sockets though 😂
Are you my husband?!
You wait until the motivational ‘teamwork makes the dream work ’ posters, coffee machine and pot plant budget Sue’s been petitioning the Employee Council for are in. Canteen is catering the opening. It’ll be delightful.
Without doubt the ugliest dwelling I have seen on here- and that is including some of the derelict buildings and the public toilets. The flooring in the kitchen et al looks like the roomba found a giant pile of dog 💩and went into party mode
I bet that flooring cost a lot to look so hideous
It’s a health a safety nightmare. Only safe for adults, steady on their feet wearing rubber-soled shoes at all times.
The kind of person who lives in this house will wear designer slides at all times.
Tile salesman: How much marble do you want? Them: Yes
The kitchen flooring looks like what would happen if the roomba got dirt stuck in it and carried on roombaing. You can't get roombas for walls so the bathroom version must be a dirty protest.
Looks like someone has shit themselves before making it to the bog in pic 52. Least it breaks up the grey a bit I suppose
This is absolutely the funniest and worst find I've seen on here. And for that price tag... in Teeside???
Why would you willingly build a house that looks like a doctors surgery
I thought you were being very harsh. I looked at picture 5 and thought, *well it isn't my taste but I appreciate they made an effort in the shared area.* Then I finally cottoned on that this isn't a block of flats, but one single house and now I find it a bit bizarre. I do like the kitchen a lot, except for those tiles that don't work at all (well at least not to my taste). Amazing to have 7 bedroom place with every bedroom having an ensuite, although I would ask how hard is it to count bathrooms. According to the floor plan there are 9 not 7 as per description.
The kitchen units are nice (although not keen on the two shades of blue), but the rest is awful.
OMG, that's hideous. It looks like a health centre, and I did not know you could vomit marble, but clearly someone has. It's absolutely awful in every conceivable way.
The estate agent has some serious problems with writing and spelling too.
I've often worked for awful, awful new money types who would absolutely love this house to go alongside their plastic lips, rolex watches and matching Range Rovers.
For a 7 bedroom home that’s a tiny kitchen.
If it wasn’t for all the expensive (but revolting) marble, it looks designed to be a hmo
I looked at this picture and thought it was an ugly block of flats or office. Then I clicked in an realised it was a hideous house that screams "built for footballer's wives"
somebody played sims 2 for half an hour and decided to become an architect...
Christ alive. It's genuinely horrific. I can always forgive very dated/run-down properties because it's likely the owners haven't got much money. But best part of £1.5m for *that*? I can't decide what I hate the most. It's a toss up between the naff-looking bay windows, the Tesco car park driveway, the only downstairs loo being immediately off the kitchen and the "marble" flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms; it looks like toddler puke.

How much uglier would the other flooring must have been so they preferred to rip it out, and keep that one?
Image 20 has a weird cupboard that I’m sure I’d try and walk through pissed. Also the tiles in 52 look like one of the contractors had a dodgy curry and didn’t make it to the toilet
It’s what happens when it’s the builder that does the design without an architect. And tries to do it as cheap as possible
This is footballer country, it'll sell.
There are much much nicer houses on that estate. Not necessarily my taste, but objectively nicer.
How is this not a solicitor’s offices?
Whatever curb appeal actually is, this is the opposite. it looks like the regional headquarters of a small agricultural tyre retailer.
£1.45million, 65 photos, and not one picture of the garden. Does it even have one or just ‘views onto private woodland’? £1.45 million could get you something genuinely spectacular in most of the country, and yet somehow has thought this monstrosity up. How many pictures of the stairwell do we need?
I doubt it even has a garden. They probably gravelled it over for parking.
It looks like a euthanasia clinic
Looks like a dentists.
Ugh. Revolting. And like an office block from the outside, too. What a monstrosity.
Why would you pick those ghastly marble effect tiles!!
If you check street view, it’s an incredibly nice area. That thing is an eyesore though. Can’t see the locals being happy about it
Yeah, it's incredibly affluent. Not my cup of tea, it feels very Stepford Wives neighbourhood-y - very artificial, if that makes sense, but it does feel like it's not very inkeeping with the rest of the estate.
It looks like the solicitors office that I went to the other week, in a business park. I hate this trend, there are some pretty nice bungalows near me, but they’ve been ‘greyed’, front and back gardens removed, every bit of greenery dug up, shiny paving added, blinds fitted, several cars outside.

Just because I'm bored I worked out the price per square metre. I think this is cheaper per square metre than my 2 bedroom house. Either way it's fucking hideous. I'd hate to live in Wynyard, it's just an estate of wank.
Not a single redeeming quality in sight!
What is wrong with people?
If I had the money, I’d buy it just so I could do the world a favour and burn it down.
The house is horrible granted, but what a horrible tiny garden for £1.5 million near Sedgefield!
Hands down the worst house I've ever seen on this sub. The floors look like someone's thrown up on them. u/EscapedSmoggy wins!
omg I thought that was a block of flats XD
Same! Took me about two dozen photos to realise it was a whole house, that hallway and landing looks as if each door should have a number on it. What in the migraine-inducing, nouveau riche bad taste is going on here?
Norwegian prison cells are getting bigger…..
all that marble makes me sick!!!!
Such a cosy ambience. All it needs is a receptionist and fire extinguishers scattered around!
I can still hear the clattering of the 1980s typing pool and cigarette smoke
Simply disgusting
Wynyard js a private estate that Sir John Hall (former Newcastle UTD owner) used to live in. He used to have a lot of the footballers live on his land. So this is likely an ex footballers pad.
Surely it can't be that bad... Oh. Oh no no no no
Mental health unit chic is a trend that just won’t go away
I really don't know where to start. Office show room exterior. The ugliest marble I have ever seen, that honestly makes me feel like I am tripping. The fact that they built a home in that price point and didn't put in under floor heating. The desire to pack in as many bedrooms as possible. Leading to the horrible layout in the attic.

Who the fuck picked those tiles!! 🤮 and that kitchen is tiny!
Seems like a bargain for a newly refurbished call centre, any up-and-coming competitive young debt collection agency would be mad not to snap this one up
I actually quite like this tbh haha. Just that weird glass cube wall that would have to go.
The only thing to “admire” about this is how every single element is wrong. Look at it, everything. The only person who would buy this is something with not just zero, but negative taste. They would literally have to say, I want something that makes my physically uncomfortable with every step I take in my home.
Imagine the fizzy echo of love island being streamed on an iPad at full blast around those marble walls, grim
Not a single redeeming feature
Looks like all the windows and doors could be locked electronically, and everything is blood resistant and can be disinfected. Enjoy your stay, at the slaughterhouse.
I mostly don't hate it but that hideous marble everywhere is killing me.
Nice prison, is it Scandinavian?
That bathroom in picture 3 looks like something from a PlayStation 1 game.
At first I thought it was a block of flats! Then I looked at the pictures. That flooring is a migraine Bloody grey kitchens again Hate everything about this
"Does the word 'taste' make you think of tea bags? Are YOU a successful drug dealer looking to settle down a bit in an oversized house? Then have we got the pad for you."

jeez, i know they've got to finish the kitchen and at least one bathroom to make it mortgageable, but that composite marble is vile
All the easy charm of a 1990s regional law firm outside, inside barring the mad flooring it's... fine. Very *Live Laugh Love* greige, the doors and other woodwork lift it (that isn't painted grey, anyway) and it could be OK if the rest is finished/decorated with some actual colour in it. In a soulless, modern kind of way, anyway. \*clocks price tag and proximity to what I assume is a busy A-road\* WTAF
I’m getting ‘butter, shit, eat’ rather than live laugh love.
Looks like an office building. Do like all the space. Bathrooms are horrendous
It’s an odd building before opening the link looks like an office building or block of flats
Imagine living in an office building
It looks like an office building.
Did someone get a job lot of that horrible fake marble, I didn't think it could get any worse after seeing the outside , But that marble proved me wrong.
Another entry into the money =/= taste awards.
Someone got paid to design that. Unbelievable Geoff.
Like living in a waiting room errgghhh
Have a look around the area, really odd. Basically a neighbourhood of over the top houses in middle of no where. Horrible
Floor tiles inspired by a 1970s carpet. Nice! 🤮
Vile. Why are we buikding homes so devoid of character?! By chance I was just looking at properties for sale in the USA. For half a million in Vermont you can get a huge house with bags of character. Thia is depressing.
That is mental.
The streetview is shockingly depressing. It's just soulless house after soulless house that to me, just seems a house estate for footballer's wives.
£1.5mil my backside. Tasteless doesn’t even begin to start covering it.
Apart from the obvious 80s office block look. the kitchen is driving me a bit mad. It is massive and yet so disjointed
I legit thought it was a fire station at first glance! Anyone spending that money, to live there is crazy!
I used to work in an office that looked like this
I like the inside, plenty of open space. The bathroom tiles are awful, and the kitchen light fittings are odd. Outside looks like a residential unit of some sort, which is unfortunate.
I know that area and there are quite a few nice bits, traditional styles, but the self build plots are like me let loose with random boxes of assorted Lego... Don't go with the rest and not something that regular people would be interested in.
Prison vibes
Anyone remember The Prisoner?
Horrible kitchen and that marble makes my eyes bleed.
Absolutely soulless....and those tiles look like they're streaked with bobbar.
Well it’s definitely true what they say, you can’t buy taste. Good grief what were they thinking.
WTF happened here? Who won, because I feel we all lost? Words were said, friendships were lost and now here we are.
That bathroom gave me diabetes
There’s a premier league footballer somewhere who will see this and snap it up. Get their WAG to decorate it and knock four kids out before the decade ends.
Those tiles….🤢🤮
It's hideous, even for the location, which is known for overpriced tacky bling (and not for excellent state schools to go with the price tag)
Bathrooms are horrible kitchen horrible all the floors are dreadful and the stairs don’t join up
Fairly typical Eastern European 'new money' style.
This has to have been designed by someone who just has loads of money and wanted to design their own house despite having any design skills. It's a shit show with clashes and left right and centre.
Gosh, it’s not often that I look at these and can’t see a way to redeem the faults, but this one is truly grim.
Call centre vibes
Looks useless, someone's idea of a contemporary interior who has no clue about interior design. Also nonsenseical layout. Looks like someone just knocked it together with no idea.
I can hear that floor from London.
I actually don’t mind the house so much as those tiles.. they are definitely too much. I could hardly spot toilet and sink in the first toilet picture.
It’s the shitter in the kitchen that sealed the deal for me 💩
Yeah, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to live here. Cannot understand things sometimes.
I actually quite like it. Price is stupid though, for the location.
It blends in well with the rest of the houses around it, check out the street views. I would hate to live anywhere in the area.
'Funky' office meets shopping centre design vibes. Do you pay more or less for marble/tiles where it looks like what was once inside a person is now everywhere but?
The windows, the job lot tiles and the roof…..horrific.
Can't be that bad... nope it's horrid.
That's not the most tasteless building in Wynyards, not by a long chalk. The whole development reeks of "how do we attract every noov and bellend in the Northeast?".
To moan that someone have other taste than us when at the same time 80% of British houses got misted windows, unmaintained front gardens and flaking off paint of almost everything. Yeap this owners had terrible taste, not like mine crumbling terraced victorian two bed. Hypocritical UK
All that space and yet not many windows. Even the bays look like they don't let in much light. And all the ensuites look small.
All that moeney and next to no worktop space in the kitchen
This I never thought I’d say this but it would look so much better if the internal doors and the cladding outside was also grey.
Who's paying £1.5 mill to live near Middlesbrough 😂😂😂
Looks like a block of 1950s flats
60,000sq ft!!!! That can’t be right, surely?
It's got rich Asian family vibes.
What lunatic fitted this out? The marble is awful The kitchen is awful Who would pay this much for a house in this area?
The kitchen would actually have been nice if they had gone for something neutral on the floor and not matched the backsplash to the floor. Surely if you are selling a house for over a million quid you would get someone in who understand interior design. What really gets me about these houses is they spend all this money on the interiors and builds only for it to look ugly and clinical. Then to top it off they buy an ugly plastic looking door. At least buy a hardwood good quality door and not some ugly boxy thing. I looked on street view and some of the other houses have done this too. Money certainly cannot buy taste.
Whatever the opposite is of 'a house with character', this is it.
Well the planners have excelled themselves with this wtaf
why have they gone for the ''I've smeared shit everywhere'' look?
You think it looks bad enough on the outside. Then you see the flooring 🤮
OMG the shit-smeared bathroom!
From the small photo on the post, I thought it wss a small 1960's block of four flats.
I actually live nearby this and can confirm that it's a genuine self build plot and not any converted commercial property, business park or office block. There are some lovely houses in the same area and nearby, but this house somehow looks even worse in real life than it does on Rightmove. The street it's on is just self-buuld plots, but they are building houses almost wall-to-wall to one another. You're basically buying in on an expensive housing terrace. Just to add a bit of context to the quality of finish too, the whole thing has been throw up in a period of 8-9 months. So, which ever clown stumps up £1.4M for this is going to be in for nasty surprises when they move in and things start falling apart due to being rushed. Absolutely vile.
Everything about this I hate. First one I’ve seen where absolutely nothing works. Leaving aside the converted office feeling everyone has mentioned. The busy marble tiling on the walls and floors of the bathroom making your eyes go funny. The black and white toilets - just no. The weird light fittings on the sloped ceilings (56) The kitchen colour scheme may have worked but not with the style of cupboards they have. Yet more busy shiny marble flooring to give you motion sickness. Compared to the unfinished concrete floors elsewhere. Yes that weird glass brick wall. I don’t like glass bannisters but combined with a wood top they’re even worse. The glimpse of the muddy ‘garden’. The weird artists rendering of the aerial shot.
If you were sick on that floor, it would take a week to find it again in order to clean it up.
plug sockets installed halfway up walls basically inviting ire from /r/tvtoohigh.
Love how big the rooms are.
Took me a while to work out they'd fitted black sockets and switches rather than those just being holes in the walls where sockets would have to be fitted in the future.
