Last decorated/updated in the  60s/70s by the look of it, a reminder of what many considered desirable decor back then!

I can see that it isn't for people in other parts of the country, but this is quite common around my way. Quite a few houses are on sale because the previous occupants have aged and are no longer there for one reason or another. And, the time-warp decoration from quite a few decades ago is still there. 

Not my house, I'll point out. But, I could easily have ended up in a time-warp house like this one. And, I wouldn't have been too worried about it. 

Agreed - I love the throwback black square tiles in the bathroom & separate toilet - so of it’s time and would have felt daring & up to the minute back then

Oh wow! That bathroom suite! I remember being dead envious of friends whose parents had aubergine bathroom suites. It seemed so exotic. I'd still find room for a vintage bathroom suite like that.

I've recently sold 2 long-held estate properties - and both were quite dated interior wise - including original 1930s pink ceramic bathroom, 1969 timber wall panelling, original glass sliding door kitchen units, 1930s wallpaper and the other had one room with typical 70s orange and brown finish.  I asked here about how much to do to prepare for sale and was pretty enthusiastically told "nothing, sell it as honest, developers will thank you".  Both sold on the first day of viewing for asking price, so it certainly didn't hinder them.

Both will now be totally different - one had a builders van outside the afternoon we completed and the other was always subject to a major upgrade (ultra modern, about 4 x the size - media suite, all bedrooms en suite, a kitchen diner bigger than most house footprints), they'd applied for planning before completion, so we knew what they had in mind and told us all about it - we were just thrilled that it was going to be a family home again and kids would grow up there, as we had.  The other buyer wouldn't tell us, as it was no longer any of our business, once we'd had his money.  We weren't going to be judgemental - he was perfectly right - we're just bloomin nosey.

Is that a dentist's chair?

It's a bit 'abducted by aliens' isn't it?

Home office?? Allowing the dentist to claim that he/ she can work from home and all travel to work (the surgery) is allowable as business expenses.

I'm hoping that it's not the case that one part of a couple owning this house has a thing about dentists.

Surely it will be eyebrow threading or permanent lashes, or similar torture.

When I used Google lens on it, one of the first matches was for a lady in a very old profession, offering services that I believe the French refer to as "the English disease" . 

Hope it's just pedicure and fingernails
