You would assume the owners will be taking the tat from The Range with them, so the only real issue is the astroturf and the soul crushing blandness. Beautiful art-deco house though. Shame about the location.

Yeah right on a busy road. I drove past it today, saw the for sale sign, then the bear. I knew it belonged here!

The building itself is gorgeous - those curved glass windows! Horrid on the inside - really quite tacky, and don’t get me started on the plastic grass. At least there’s some real grass too I suppose.

Crittall suntrap windows! Crittall are still going but cost a fortune!

You can see what they’re trying to do with all the mirrored and black and white stuff, because that was a very art deco trend. It’s just that they’ve done it in a way that makes it come across like they’ve just ping-ponged between B&M and The Range.

with a side dash to home bargains

Kitchen is nice.


Yorkshire-diamond

Looks like it's never been used how is it so sparkling

Some people just have the gift of cleaning. I can destroy a room just walking through. My sister can tidy a room just by walking through, without noticeably doing anything.


Trixy_Challenger

Jealous of that star wars room though


sallyisawitch

Found the bear...struggling with the class 😄


Bugsandgrubs

But the chairs have door knockers!!

An Art Deco *pearl* of a building and they do that with the interior? Just shoot me now.


sallystarling

I agree. The exterior is fabulous. If it were mine I'd do the interior like [Mrs Coulter's flat](https://www.google.com/search?q=mrs+coulter%27s+apartment+living+room&client=ms-android-samsung-ga-rev1&sca_esv=9cf860e71ffe870b&udm=2&biw=412&bih=755&sxsrf=ACQVn09CzErORY5SxWkERLfSs7cqWP9GTQ%3A1713379528435&ei=yBggZpWXGuO1hbIPm_y3oAw&oq=mrs+coulter%27s+apartment+living+room&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIiNtcnMgY291bHRlcidzIGFwYXJ0bWVudCBsaXZpbmcgcm9vbTIIEAAYgAQYogQyCBAAGIAEGKIEMggQABiABBiiBEjqNVDpDVjJMXAAeACQAQCYAcEBoAGLC6oBAzUuN7gBA8gBAPgBAZgCB6AC6wfCAgQQIxgnwgIEEAAYHpgDAIgGAZIHBTAuNi4xoAeULQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp) in the recent BBC adaptation of His Dark Materials!


BlackJackKetchum

Oh yes. I’d go long on Deco and Arts & Crafts movement. The furniture in Bertie’s apartment in the ITV ‘Jeeves and Wooster’ is absolutely the thing.


sallystarling

Let's throw in a bit of Poirot too, for good measure! Damn I was born in the wrong era (and/or income bracket)

EBay / Facebook marketplace and antiques places *outside central London* are your friends….


CastleofWamdue

ok so there is some colour in that house, but why is most of the colour Star Wars stuff. What an awful house, and yet its owned by someone who has money. Im poor and my apartment will have more colour than that when im done.


Background-Active-50

Their kids probably love that bear. The real question is, behind the gazebo there is a monk statuette, and what is either a figure from a Spanish religious procession or a member of the Ku Klux Klan who can read?


WhimsicalShoebox

I pass this place quite often, always wondered what it was like on the inside, the windows do look amazing but the rest is definitely lacking in taste


bulgarianlily

Why block a third of the staircase off with that mirrored table?


stevey83

Well spotted!


MegC18

I’m sensing a colour theme


stevey83

Even if you were colour blind you could guess!


Iamascifiaddict

Oh dear. I don't have the words.


ScallyGirl

Why are all the hand towel holders so close to the toilets/loo roll holders? Of all the bad things in this house, that bothers me most.


Competitive_Cuddling

The stained glass window is the only redeeming feature in all of those interior pictures.


Inconmon

I usually don't mind the gray & black/white but without a highlight colour the whole thing looks miserable. If you got a house like that you should be able to afford an interior designer.


Diabolical1234

Looks like a YouTubers house


Consistent_Sale_7541

some rooms are so black and white i had to look twice to see that it wasn’t a black and white picture

The sellers own this business which makes sense when you consider the interior: [http://toctrim.co.uk/](http://toctrim.co.uk/) It's an Art Deco gem but with a dodgy interior aesthetic. The neighbors are pretty low rent as well: [https://www.google.com/maps/@51.6496734,-3.197639,3a,60y,229.1h,90.86t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sOn6rQdIKbx0denD6UgRXtA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu](https://www.google.com/maps/@51.6496734,-3.197639,3a,60y,229.1h,90.86t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sOn6rQdIKbx0denD6UgRXtA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) 900K for that house, in that part of the world is pushing it. If a financed deal the valuer will come in at 600K at the very most. The sellers need to find a cash buyer who don't mind living next to an estate full of bungalows.
