Not right move but it's got to be seen.
The description though 😂 Mentions absolutely nothing peculiar!!

I've never understood why rental communities with these facilities aren't more common in the UK. In the US it's common to have big rental communities with pool, gym etc. No need to worry about the landlord deciding to move back in to their property or sell it on, m
Loads of pension companies have gone into build to rent over the last couple of years, particularly in the north west. It's going to become a lot more common as their developments start reaching completion, it's just not very visible at the moment. John Lewis is looking at turning some of its redundant department stores into rental homes (all furnished by JL of course) and Lloyds Bank announced last year they were aiming to become one of Britain's biggest landlords by purchasing 50,000 homes over the next 10 years.

The amount of animal skulls and taxidermy is making me twitch and freak. If the house was empty it would be lovely, but stuff like that freaks me out (can't go into Natural History Museums or certain National Trusts because of it!).

(Presuming that's what you mean)
That and Elvis 😆

I remember watching an episode of 'A Place in the Country' many years ago when that blonde woman, Catherine hosted, and she took the would-be buyers to a house that was exactly like this. The owner seemed genuinely surprised that the TV cameras had turned up and got a bit salty, saying the estate agent could've let her know they were coming. I felt so, so bad for her.

How good is this though, really? I know at least one other person is nodding in agreement. :LOL: I'm not ashamed to say that I have a magazine rack in ours (which does not get covered in fecal matter).

We used to go and visit a lady who was a friend of my mum, who had a fancy clip-on bidet and a radio in her WC. It also had pink pelican wallpaper and peach-coloured carpet ... it sounds gross now, but it really was quite exciting to visit.

A friend has a foot spa in her WC ... I'm not sure how long she intends on staying there for, but maybe she's just really good at multi-tasking!

In need of modernisation
Without word of a lie ... I'd change the toilet cistern and vanity top, but keep the bath, and paint everything with special 'bath paint'. It definitely has potential.

The owner also has a weird obsession with purple orchids, there's even an orchid decorated loo seat
There seems to be a weird internal window between bedrooms too - the bedroom with the high window above the bed, with the dressing table. Is it where the wall is missing on the floor plan?

Walked past this house so many times. It looks so unusual from the outside but never expected the inside to look like this!!
The paving out the front looks like a car park.( although that might be selling point to some buyers).

I know someone who is an ancient Egypt fanatic , I can imagine their home being decorated like that flat.
