Another timewarp - some vintage furniture and swirly carpets in this one! Gotta say though, much as it needs modernising, I'd be tempted to ask the sellers if they would throw in the freestanding globe in picture 9 (if my assumption is right that it's a secret cocktail cabinet) to add some retro glam to the housewarming party

Agreed. Judging by deco and the equipment installed at the property, at a guess I'd say that the owner is likely to be an older person with mobility problems.Dustyevsky said:
