Didn't hang around long on the market this one. On the market and sold in the one day!!

I see nothing wrong with home like this except I wish the vendor would at least make the bed before the photo is taken. the elderly relative would be horrified! 

My mums house, my family home, would have looked very 1970's when they moved out in 2014. When they moved in they furnished it to a good standard and didn't see the need to replace everything to keep up with the latest fashion. The patterned carpets were wool and still in great condition, selling plain synthetic carpets is an excellent marketing strategy. The wooden furniture was easily polished and strong so it too never wore out.

Instead they spent their money on making memories, travelling the world, making friends, enjoying hobbies etc. My house is just the same with a little eccentricity thrown in - it might end up on here if it's spotted.

Most of the kitchen looks like fairly generic 70s / early 80s units but the wall mounted cupboard's more interesting and something I would keep, maybe 1950s??

Also, what's the thing mounted on the wall between this cupboard and the worktop?

It looks like measuring scales to me

This is my neighbour’s house from where we used to live. The elderly couple who lived there both passed away, their surviving family cleared it out and got rid of the old garage in the garden but clearly didn’t do any decorating inside. The house sold in two days.

Nice house. It's clean and tidy and has been well kept so no need to decorate, the new owner will want to put their own mark on it so decorating would be pointless

That’s such a strange shape for an extension just to put a loo...

yes! It's where you'd usually expect a conservatory, too, but instead there's a toilet nodule stuck on the back of the house!

I love the colours of the house though.

They had a disabled son whose bedroom was the rear reception room, the extension was his bathroom. When he passed away they had the hoist etc removed and just kept what’s there now. The kitchen is also an extension as their original kitchen off the hallway was removed to widen it for the wheelchair.
I must admit, I was surprised to see the stairlift still in situ.

And nobody thought to go into the garage?  Interesting decisions folk make!

But how would they access the garage from the house? There is a small gap in the hallway as you enter the house before the stairs possibly for a door  but likely it wasn't practical for disabled access for someone who required a hoist or wheelchair?
