This could be really nice when done up

The room with just two sinks is interesting!

Quite 70s  but I'd love to see what someone might do with this.

3 bedroom detached house for sale in Eype, Bridport, DT6 (rightmove.co.uk) Strewth, it's hard enough work keeping a wooden drainage board looking good without coping with a wooden bathroom.

You're so right. Just think of a week's worth of toothpaste splatters round the basin combined with splashes from the tub and then there are the kids near misses by the loo. It'll look sordid by the end of your first fortnight of occupation and then there's always the possibility of the loo blocking and overflowing which you'd never be able to get out of that floor. The thought of the encrusted yuck and muck is just making me blench, yuurgh.

Too. Much. Wood.

On the plus side, probably quite quick to burn down and build something decent.

There is a lot I like about that, particularly it is rare even now to find a house with an EPC A99 so your energy bills will be very low.  that is how all new houses should be built now.

But I would not want all the wood facings in the bathroom, particularly not the shower areas.

Hmm, I love it. Is it really that hard to keep it clean? We used to have a wooden outhouse and get washed in a wooden outdoor sauna. We also brushed our teeth and so on there, as that's where you'd heat water. The wood is still in good condition and doesn't look a mess. If it's treated right it should be easy enough to clean.

That is encouraging but saunas are a dry heat aren't they and not sure about steamy bathrooms and showers would not be more to cope with and it is an awful lot of money to trust that the builders have treated it right in the first place and that I would be any good at keeping up the treatment in a timely manner.  I'm also not at all sure about the aesthetics although, of course, that is a subjective opinion.

Didn't realise Nottingham was this expensive!

That's exactly what I thought! It does seem an awful lot for a house that needs so much doing to it.

Constructed in 2020 under the exacting eye of the current owners, 

So the owners are already selling? Moving on before the wood gets spoiled with use?

Or are they professional project managers who build to sell?

Looks like this was the house that stood on the plot before:
