Not just football shirts, but Newcastle AND Sunderland - I wonder if it's someone that works with footballers like an agent? Someone that needs that many printers in their "home office" :ROFLMAO:

Soooo I got a bit intense and I am 90% certain it's this guys house - https://www.business-live.co.uk/economic-development/founder-stack-leisure-company-eyes-28438011 (mods please delete if not allowed)

If you put the address into Companies House it brings up his wife's name, linked to a now dissolved company, and a little bit of googling tells me that they've been trying to sell since early 2022, when the Stacks business started to fail...

I came to the same conclusion re the owner, sort of lost interest once it wasn't anyone I'd heard of. 😂

People really need to stop putting their personal address on Companies House, there's no need as you can use your accountant's office address instead (or the address of your shop/ office if you have one). Can't believe how many people still do it!

Interestingly, his address is his accountants office, but his wife has had three dissolved businesses now and all of them use that address I think which probably says something...

I feel quite sad now, it's probably that they can't afford it any more, but they've clearly got two teenage or pre-teen girls who are probably used to that lifestyle.

Nice to look at, classy, old, beautiful, lots of character - yes, but probably cold, a bit cramped in parts, hard creaky wooden floors, I don’t know, wouldn’t actually like to live in it.

I was going to say exactly the same thing! It looks beautiful but dear God I bet its cold in winter.

The decor makes it look like a museum, national trust house before the visitors arrive. I'd love to look around it but wouldn't want to live there. Although you would have Gilbert and George just down the street at number 8. And a million tourists taking photos outside your front door

This is up for sale near where I grew up. It's owned by The Speakmans. It's weird seeing inside it as it was a Beefeater pub when I was a kid. I had many a hot fudge cake with ice cream where the master bedroom is now. And distinctive memories of being served at the bar legally by my school friend Johnny in what is now the kitchen. The horrible recessed lights and the PVC backdoor are killing me.

Why are there geese in what may or may not be a shower? Parts of this place are lovely (the stained glass particually) but a lot of it is rather too loud and showy for my tastes. Mad that's a converted Beefeater though!

A lot of the 'improvements' that have been done look really cheap or overly modern, or both - like the fitted wardrobes in the master bedroom, or some of the wood flooring. Whereas other rooms with the patterned carpet look like pub function rooms (which tracks given it used to be a Beefeater 😂 ) or an old peoples home.
I don't know the area but it feels very overpriced considering you'd need to redo pretty much every room (just replacing the carpets would cost thousands). Maybe the sellers feel it's worth more due to their 'celebrity' status?!

This is such a strange one, it looks like a conference centre with break out rooms! - there’s even a flip chart in one. So many groups of armchairs etc. What’s with the room full of desks, PCs and gaming chairs? How many people actually live there? 😆

It might be currently used as one of those places that workplaces can hire for their staff to go to for residential training courses.
I may be totally wrong, but that's kind of the vibe I'm getting!
