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.
but the amateurish Henry VIII copy is just laughable and detracts from
the rest of the decor.
Actually, the amateur Henry VIII really made me laugh. I think I'd have to keep that if I was the buyer. In fact, I'd probably indulge myself with a series of equally amateur pics of his wives.2 -

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...
Lovely conversion - however, nearly £1M and no dedicated parking space for a house with five bedrooms! No wonder it's the only one left.

It's a weird mixture of not nice and lovely. Not sure why there are two kitchens, I thought kosher at first but then spied the hand bidet in the loo. Finding a wee pool in such a house is certainly surprising.

Classic 70s vibe with this house (albeit with modernised kitchen & bathroom)
Bonus points for really lazy photoshopping of blue skies - especially pics 36 - 38
