    That looks like wide-angle lens distortion to me. It's also visible in several other pictures, like the toilet and the TV in the bedroom is also giant size.

    The whole place would be far too difficult to clean.  High ceilings tend to encourage cobwebs.

    Art Deco anyone?  I like this place.

    I could live with some of the flamboyant wallpaper except the one in the bathroom which has a really bad join, it makes my eyes water.


    Once again stuff built in the 1930s looks more modern than stuff being built as we speak (and for the last 60 years)

    Absolutely stunning.

    I think the join in the wallpaper is actually the corner of a recessed shelf above the bath.

    Perhaps it's just me but does anybody else find 3 bathrooms a little excessive for a 3 bed flat?
    The layout doesn't actually 'work', at least in respect of provision of bathrooms.  Ideally a three bed property should have two.  This has got three, but none is really adequate.  The thing downstairs rather optimistically called a 'shower room' is comically small.  Ideally it would be taken out, which would make the living room bigger.  The kitchen wall could be extended to close it off from the living room, whilst retaining access to the dining room.  The kitchen's back wall could then be moved back a fair few feet, and the room could be widened into the newly enlarged living room.  A proper bathroom could then be put on the back of the kitchen, with a door to the hall.  The en-suite could also be eliminated from the bedroom and converted to a walk-in wardrobe, getting rid of the other wardrobe in there.  
    Moving upstairs, the situation is even worse.  There's an en-suite for the 'master', which is actually smaller than the second bedroom, however the poor old occupant of the second bedroom has no bathroom at all to use on that floor.  He or she would have to go downstairs to use the toilet, which is ridiculous given there's an en-suite in the next room.  The big problem is that the staircase is the wrong way round.  There's a large, semi-redundant landing opposite the master bedroom, which is somewhat remote from it.  Were the stairs the other way round, the landing would be adjacent to the master and, crucially, the en-suite.  If there was a landing, the bathroom could have a door onto it.  That would enable the occupant of the second bedroom to use it, which would be much better.

    Mind you, it's a stunning flat overall. I wonder where they found the dining table chairs? I'd love some like that.
