    I love contemporary and hate kitsch. But my "Tomorrow People" alarm went off looking at this one. All those "airlocks" - obviously for decompressing as you move from Newcastle to Sunderland. 
    The staircase and the prison toilets would put me off.
    I'd want to add some colour and make changes to the operating theatre vibe in the kitchen, too.
    I remember it from when it came up before

    This is down the road from where I grew up, it’s certainly characterful!

    Wow. I wouldn't want to live in it as, and its a slightly weird mix of styles.

    It would *really* bug me that they'd just got random chunks of the Sistine chapel ceiling on the ceiling with no attempt at consistency  - but cover that up and remove all the 80's flouncy curtains, and the fake costs of arms, and there's a nice property under there .


    And while this particular one isn't to my taste, I do like to see homes where people have gone with their own personal dream decor, even if it's unconventional.

    I wish there were more pictures….it’s such a shame I’m leaving Edinburgh for the Highlands as this is the kind of house I would love!

    That's certainly a feast for the eyes...

    EPC F for "fail".

    The kitchen units look really shallow in some pictures, but think it's an optical illusion.
    May you find your sister soon Helli.

    It reminds me a little of the church almost next door to my paternal grandmother's house that was converted. Lovely but I can't step on consecrated ground sadly...

    The very worse thing for me is no toilet seat cover!  :#
    Can you spot the cat though?
    Can't miss it, it's orange...

    Pretentious though it is, at least the ceiling copies have some semblance of competence
    but the amateurish Henry VIII copy is just laughable and detracts from
    the rest of the decor.
