    I know it's of its time, but the prime interest in this house is its location and lovely views, and was in the 60s. The loud decor just distracts from that, and I'm sure did in the 60s too.  Pic 10 for example just leads the eye away from the view as do the bold colours in pic 13. Shame - so many UK houses have awful small windows and here's one with lovely picture windows. 

    10 tins of white matt and I'd move in tomorrow.
    Me too, those views are just wonderful!

    Try this one, lovely big windows and upside down design too

    plus amusing photos of the garden with dematerialising rotary airer but pic 14 sells it to me, can that really be a clog wearing sheep to greet guests? Sadly the sheep/whatever is completely obscured in pic 21.
    I covet the waste paper basket in pic 19 too.
    It's a cricketer wielding a bat.  (try the virtual tour).

    And one of those rare occasions where a coloured bathroom suite seems to work and I don't feel
    the compulsion to rip it out and put a white one in.

    Perhaps i'm odd but I see no appeal in that property at all.

    I couldn't see a sheep either. Or a rotary line in the photos.

    You'd think someone could have gone around with a cloth and a few gallons of de-greaser before the EA came in wouldn't you!
