Someone likes their colourful wallpaper.
First thing that would go if I were moving in.

Plus: spot the unicorn.

So when the canvassers come knocking at your door looking for your vote, show them these 2 sales particulars and ask them will their party make such abominable decor a criminal offence if they come to power!

Here's something pretty unique. A converted church hall, with it's own independent website that states the £10k worth of artwork is included:

The bedrooms are sleeping lofts rather than bedrooms and surprisingly with all that space there is no cloakroom

No picture of the kitchen. Probably lets the side down with a standard B&Q rather than the open fire with a large cauldron and a centre table spread with gutted game.

How can anyone find that a relaxing place to be?

It is a real assault on the senses!

The thing is, heavily illustrated wallpaper like that (if of any decent quality) isn't cheap. And needs to be hung carefully so the irregular patterns match.
But if you are into restoration of original Victorian features. it is more
in keeping with the kind of decor way back then which became popular with William Morris and the Arts & Crafts Movement.

But to most modern eyes, just about tolerable on a feature wall, if at all.

Yes, you wouldn't really want to get up to "romantics" if there were guests staying in the other half.

Unless you were one of those couples who enjoyed providing the entertainment at "dogging" sites.

I find this a bit sad to look at. How people live sometimes
