    What's with the floor plan? To get from the lounge into the master bedroom, you have to go through the dining room, kitchen/breakfast, utility, library and en-suite bathroom.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    The layout is very weird as well though... Like picture 6, why is there a bed in the dining room?!

    Very large multi-generation family would be my guess. The extension looks like it was intended as granny-annexe but with no kitchen. I could hazard a guess at the cultural background of such a family but the arrangement and volume of the living-room furniture contradicts that somewhat.

    Perhaps purple was the only colour which every member who put money into the property could agree on?

    What really gets me is that is immaculate. Who would have shag pile in a kitchen? Who would be able to prevent it getting full of crumbs, or the occasional mark from spillage? It all looks brand new.
  • Living here, you could enjoy a luxury bathe (pic 6).....and then retire to the lovely bedroom (p4) and snuggle down ....amongst the mildew!!

    Not been around for a while, so apologies if this has already been posted... I don't think it needs any words (I'm lost for them anyway!)

    So, that's where they've gone ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    maybe they spent a lot of time and money doing it all then realised just how utterly 'purple' it was, decided they hated it and moved straight out and put it on the market rather than have to live in it...... lol

    Or their interior designer was colour blind and/or hated them?
    There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out.
  • "That" purple house has gone viral! It is all ver Facebook, I have had an email about it & there are at least one other thread about it on MSE. I hope the owners have a sense of humour!!
    If my posts have random wrong words, please blame the damn autocorrect not me :D
