    I'd never buy a house with a bath like that.... there's no way I'd be safe to get in and out of it. There's nothing to grab hold of....

    OMG ... tart's boudoir as a bedroom. That'd have to go! Are those people having sex/naked in those pictures??

    Small bedroom... omg .... quick, buy a tin of white paint for me.

    I see nothing wrong with the other rooms, or how you're using them - just in the "personal taste" stuff, which isn't to my taste.

    House has a lot going for it.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like baths in the middle of a room.

    Having a double bed in a 7' wide bedroom is really pushing the concept of a double bedroom.

    Why does 'Purple bricks' put you off?

    It says to me that the vendor doesn't really care and has just gone for the cheap option. And going forward, I don't know I'd want to be trying to buy a house where a faceless company is the agent, rather than a local estate agent.
  • Like others have said, the decor is very much like "marmite". It doesn't add the value you probably think it does and most likely reduces it.

    After that it just comes down to price.

    Great minds and all that.
    My OH looked at the bedroom pictures and said they looked like the sort of rooms you rent by the hour :cool:
    How does he know? :eek::rotfl:

    For me, I think seeing 'Purple Bricks' would also put me off.

    That's why I started the sentence with "For me".

    You've turned a 4 bedroom house into a 3 bedroom house - that is bound to cost you money in resale value. What is worse, you did it to one of the three genuinely double sized bedrooms that you had not the "box room" at the back. That seems like an odd choice to me.
    Decor is, obviously, a matter of taste but even Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen was forced to repaint in neutral tones after failing to sell his place at first offering.

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    I apologise to the OP, but I have to echo the thoughts of people on here; this is not a house that appeals to me at all. The write-up is cheesy and naff, and it looks unprofessional.

    And the bathroom 'may' be HOOOOOOJ, but it's not appealing at all. The bath in the middle of the room is weird, and the window is not frosted!

    2 of the bedrooms are very small, the whole house looks cramped. As someone said earlier, it looks as if it was an afterthought on the end of the road, (as it looks a bit squashed and cluttered.)

    The whole decor is gawdy imo. The kitchen is bleh, and what is that thing standing in the middle of it?

    Bedroom 1 is yuk imo. All red? No. Just no. Bedroom 2 looks like someone's garage. Bedroom 3 is gawdy and pokey.

    Pic 4 is supposed to be the dining room, but is obviously not used as such. It has wasted space as there is just a PC and a table and chair in there. And you have shoved the dining area into the lounge; making it cluttered and overcrowded.

    Where is the picture of the lounge?

    Garage? Carport?

    Also, it's overpriced by about 10-15%.

    Sorry.

    I can't think of anything really positive about it, except it's detached. Then again, it's verrrrry close to the house next to it. Way too close imo.

    I actually like the bathroom, although I do think you should buy some of that stuff to frost the windows.

    I think the master bedroom would look very different with white bedlinen and enough natural light that the lamp doesn't need to be on. Somehow the effect of so much black and red with dim light and the lamp on is giving an off-putting effect that might not be as bad in person. However if viewers aren't booking a viewing they aren't going to see it in person.

    The photo of the kitchen should be without the portable kitchen block, even if you put it straight back. The thing to remember is that rooms look more cluttered in photos than in real life. So worktops and all surfaces should be virtually empty in all rooms.
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!
