Some interesting decorative choices, and picture 28 :eek:
Completing the kitchen area is a built-in television screen within the Aga chimney breast
That must be the forthcoming TV series, The Only Way Is Solihull.

And the same """marble""" effect wall tiles my parents had in about 1985! I see them in listings occasionally. Are they still sold?
Those are called 'birdlip' tiles IIRC as if you stare at them you can see a vague bird shape within the pattern. My previous home built in 1972 had them, except they were pink. They are very thin, and no they don't still make them.Make £2025 in 2025

I couldn't find any results for birdlip, but putting in 'chicken tiles 1970' gets it bang on! I used to stare at the plump bird outline in the design for ages (I was a bored child). My parents had the brown-veined ones. They seem to have been very popular (possibly they were cheap).Mortgage - £274,000 to pay

It was my neighbour who also had them who told me they were birdlip. He'd been in the house since they were new, but I agree chicken does describe it better!Make £2025 in 2025

A strange assumption about imaginary occupants.

I take it that the hanging spider thingies are a modern take on chandeliers? What sort of person could live in a place like that? And who in their right mind would want to pay 4 million quid for it?0
