(I am so sorry, please, whatever gods there may be forgive me…)
Whoever sells this is going to lose their marbles.
That’s some real whiplash going from the exterior to the interior
I know right, if you could afford to do that to the interior, why on earth wouldn’t you at least paint your house
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.
Yeah but if every time you open your door the neighborhood is blinded by the chandeliers reflecting off all that pearly white marble people are gonna get suspicious.
Sleeper hoose
Can someone in the UK tell me how that home costs £450k? Is real estate that crazy over there or are they trying to recover the £300k they spent for the marble?
40 mins to central London on tube. Lots of green spaces near by. 2 solid square bedrooms, all the cosmic crap easily stripped out. Hard standing for 2 cars, decent back garden. Semi detached.
The only reason it’s not more is “it’s Dagenham” and the general shabby state of the street.
This’ll get snapped up by professional couple earning 160k+ combined willing to await the inevitable gentrification in 5/10 years.
Amazing what passes for a “decent back garden” in the UK. My “back garden” is a quarter acre (1000m^2 ) on a property worth $140k USD including the 1200ft^2 (120m^2 ) house.
On the downside my exterior walls are made of glue and sawdust, and my interior walls are made of paper and powdered gypsum.
Well, decent “for London”. People can easily buy bigger spaces elsewhere in the country but you’re often in the middle of nowheresville.
Absolutely, I live a metro area with about 5 million people, it’s not an international hub of anything. It’s big enough to offer most of what you get in a big city aside from public transport, since our population density is wayyyyy lower.
Is it really worth it for your back yard to be 3 feet of sidewalk and a 3ft^2 patch of unruly grass? Why is that grass even there? Feels like an insult to me. Just draw a frowny face on a block of concrete. People aren’t meant to live like that.
“Nowheresville” in England is very, very relative.
Oh totally, there are many great places to live in the UK that isn’t the London bubble. I was replying quickly and looking for something that summed not being near London jobs / the West end / art/ music scene etc from the point of view of the two professionals who’d likely drop that kind of money on that house
That’s London prices for you. That’s likely the bottom end of the price scale.
Not in the UK, but I’m guessing, like real estate anywhere, high population + limited availability?
There are 9 million people living in London. 607 square miles, which means, on average, 14,827 people per square mile.
Compared to, say, San Francisco with 808,000 people in 47 square miles, 17,191 people per square mile.
Globally though, numbers like this aren’t even in the top 25:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_areas_by_population_density
My “city” is embarrassed. 635,000 people in 145 square miles. 4,379 people per square mile. We’re absolutely porous by comparison.
This is one of the areas that London expanded into, it was in Essex until to 60s. It’s not desirable.
Reading that I had to check my area, and it’s a whopping 1518 people in 205.11 square miles or about 7 people per square mile. You got us beat by a long shot.
Veiny
Ignoring the obvious, I was not expecting that kind of money being dropped on the interior based on the photos of the exterior.
I get a strong ‘my mate’s company bought too much of this for a project and asked if I wanted it for pennies on the pound so I said yeah, put it fucking everywhere’ vibe
They’re probably not allowed to modify the exterior at all and made the best of it for whatever reason
Somebody’s been recording home movies!
Wait…who took this picture?! This must be…a vampire’s house!
Much more likely that the agent just didn’t want to be in the photo.
Ha ha, yeah, I forgot the photo would have needed to be taken!
Am pretty stoned, that seems completely fair to me 😂
I’m sliding around just looking at it
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
If you can afford a £450k house you’re not that poor.
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
I bet that’s all vinyl wrap.
“I FUCKING LOVE MARBLE!!!”
Oh yeah? Let me see your ceiling then!
Who are you, William Randolph Hearst?
And fucking hate socks apparently. Unless they’re wearing the grippy kind they have in hospitals.
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
The bathroom horrifically tiny. It’s smaller than the fucking closet
Every house should have a fucking closet.
You might be looking at the second toilet, rather than the main bathroom? The actual bathroom certainly is smaller than average, but not really unusual for these kinds of houses unfortunately…
these postwar council houses sometimes have the bathroom and toilet in seperate small rooms, could be the extra toilet was added in were there’d normally be just a bath and sink
Yeah, might be. Looking at the floor plans it seems more likely that the upstairs toilet was the later addition in this case (only because when there’s a separate bath/toilet they tend to be next to each other, not on different floors), but I could definitely be wrong, as far as we know the entire layout could have been changed since it was first built. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
yeah the current owner clearly isn’t averse to radical works
I think even that is an understatement for what we’ve witnessed here lol
Oh my gaudy
Looks like early 90s raytrace renders inside.
Stunning? Like in, a taser stunning they mean?
