    Something about that vase (picture 15) instantly brought to mind this story: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2006/feb/06/arts.artsnews1

    Those individual rugs on each step look lethal if they're not glued or tacked down, the one on the same step as the shelves certainly doesn't look like it is.

    Awful - just awful... Lots of money and no taste. I doesn't look like anyone actually lives there - maybe just some lonely bloke (Booze, big TV, and only one lumpy looking bed looks slept in...) in fact the only bit that looks used is the desk in the office.
    It looks quite sad really - clearly not a family home?

    What I could buy with that kind of money though

    I didn't spend long there, but I also noted the panic button in the master suite, no doubt for when Big Des and his mates drop in with their shooters to collect their share....;)

    That's unfortunate, it's EXACTLY in my price range (not), but there wasn't a single foto, to make me think it was an appealing property.


    Too much 'wood' or brown or just boring.


    And I just checked what its price history is...£5million + increase in 13 years????

    If that place really does belong to a single bloke, the reason for sale will be found in his failing liver. I've never seen so much booze in a private home.

    You identify an alcoholic not by the full bottles in the house but by the empty bottles in the bin.

    The owners of the house are in the food & drinks industry owning a number of restaurants and running several franchises, there is more than a chance that the bar is "overflow" from some of these.

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    There's a lot of houses like that round where I live, it's certainly one of the most boring I've seen from my RM searches. I like a big house to have at least one really gaudy room.

    Can I ask how you know that re the owners?
