I’ve never seen a mentally ill building before.
I think this is a great place for someone into:
- Egypt
- Drugs
- Twilight
I did not expect Jedward.
No-one expects Jedward.
If someone had the funds for it, this could be remade into a lovely home with a lovely garden. There is potential there… but holy shit the amount of renovation that needs to be done before a real human can move in is exhausting.
It’ll be bought by a “property investor” who will gut it, put in new bathroom and kitchen, redecorate in shades of grey, then resell it for a serious profit. They might clear the back yard and put down turf as well. It’ll all take a couple of months unless there’s something seriously wrong, eg rotten roof.
I feel the garden lacks theming
I was prepared for Groverhaus: UK, but not for GroverTut’s Psychadelic Tomb
The paint doesn’t bother me one bit, since that’s an easy fix and was clearly loved by the previous owner. What bothers me, however, is the clear signs of neglect to the home’s maintenance (bathrooms falling apart, yard in disarray, carpets tattered, etc.), which is much more involved to correct, and is usually paired with much more expensive demos (structural, plumbing, electrical, etc.).
The paint is no big deal.
The only thing that really bothers me about it is the layout:
Why the fuck is the toilet on the opposite side of the kitchen from the rest of the bathroom?!
They need to either:
- move the toilet to the same room as the rest of the bathroom and then knock down the vestibule/pantry wall to make the kitchen less tiny, or
- knock down the “shower room” wall to expand the kitchen, add a sink opposite the toilet (probably swapping them so the sink would be where the toilet is and the toilet would be under the stairs), and build a full bath somewhere upstairs, taking space from the weirdly-long bedroom.
I wish my toilets were separate. It’s stupid to have the toilet next to where you brush your teeth.
Do us all a favor and never make a house layout again.
Jeez, you didn’t have to be mean about it, Mr. I-want-to-walk-through-the-kitchen-after-pooping-before-I-wash-my-hands!
Why does the toilet need to be with the shower? Some sort of kink?
It doesn’t need to be with the shower.
But I noticed you didn’t question why it needs to be with the sink.
Wouldn’t be terrible if you’re living with someone else. Actually kinda nice having separate use case.
That’s what option 2 would be for: a half-bath downstairs, and a full bath upstairs.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the toilet was a later addition and simply tacked onto the back. I believe that wasn’t unheard of.
If you look at the aerial photo (pic #17), the neighboring unit on the right has a matching(?) bump-out. I think the unit on the left has done an addition, but I think this space might be original (although maybe it didn’t originally have a toilet in it).
Don’t know why everybody is hating on it. It looks like a house where people could express themselves. Pretty cool. If you don’t like it you can renovate and paint t your own
Seems like you could only express yourself in the form of heiroglyphs or teenage heart throbs.

Maybe because it’s also in awful shape.
It’s a house they can’t go to the gym. Honestly not sure why you’re body shaming a house.
IDK if £125,000 is cheap for the area, but I imagine it would cost a lot more than it’s worth to fix it. Looks like a bit of a disaster I’d expect to see on one of those shite reality shows where they fix up a house to flip it.
wooowwww
It’s like living inside KidPix
The two crucifixes are a nice addition to all that.
Witness Me
Most homes have good bones, but this one has whole preserved bodies.
“A gas fireplace is not inherently a fire hazard, so we made sure to drag this flimsy drape all the way across it.”
Okay but the ceiling runner pattern kinda works.
Seems like the listing might be part of a pyramid scheme.
It’s a sphinx’er upper
Someone told the owner they had a mental health problem but they were in denial.
