Could any one help me with this "many original features which undoubtedly adds to its charm." conundrum?

Hard to imagine a less charming house.

If anything the owls are "quirky", and the house itself is in need of intensive TLC.

Miles overpriced.

I'll vote that the fireplace is the only original feature - had one just like it in a previous house, with a caveat about the banisters. Kitchen? 1970s MFI; wooden pelmet - 1960s DIY.



With a bit of work it could be a nice place.

Is it the fireplace?

The kitchen?


The banisters?


Or the charming basin in the bedroom?

Some lovely 'modern' trunking going on with the electrics too - nothing like some lovely wires hidden in plastic going across the middle of the wall (kitchen)

Still, nice view I wonder if that's original?

This is similar to the kitchen we had in the 70s (link below). Put in new by us from Wrighton. The house we had it in was up for sale a few months ago and still had the same kitchen in lol. I think the kitchen is more 80s perhaps late 70s?

This house has some dining room and what is with the jaunty angle photos of the cookers? Also, what is "London style" when it comes to gardens?

Gosh, that place just has 'mid price interior designer' written all over it. Nice hallways though.

My parents had that red kitchen (or one almost exactly like it) when they moved house in the mid-70's... it was replaced by the one in the house link in the mid 80's by one almost exactly the same as that (which is still there) :rotfl:

My post is a bit confusing, I meant the red one is 1970s and the brown/white one in the post I was talking about was 80s. Even more confused now lol.

We had the red one fitted in our bungalow in the early/mid 70s we moved to the next house in 1984 and it was the brown/white one in a brand new home.

That's how i read your post My parents moved to a house mid-70's that had a similar red kitchen, and I remember them ripping it out and replacing with a very similar (to the house for sale) brown / white one (that is still in situ ....and errr, unfinished :eek:)
They may as well have kept the red one ...it would be seen as vintage and fashionable by now :rotfl:
