I recently saw my childhood home went for £1.5m in Edinburgh through a private sale! Did find this gem though into Midlothian - a flat like this in the city be eye watering. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/124154726#/

Currently house searching and came across this
The last line of the description![]()
Wipe down furniture and a hot tub inside? Probably swingers. No Pampas grass though (youngsters, Google it)I can't get my head around this one! And how can the Orangery be almost as big as the rest of the house? They seem to have a lot of sitting rooms...
Some of the houses I used to do supermarket deliveries to were heading down that route. So sad when they opened the door and what you would see. But never judge them. There were a couple of the old folks that weren't very mobile and so liked the food to be brought in to their kitchen, generally it would be ordered for them by their absentee offspring who presumably thought that ordering a load of food to be delivered was the extent of of their duty. Those ones I would always try to stop for five or ten minutes and just chat shit with them, we might be the only people they saw all week. Luckily the supermarket I worked for is a fairly kind one and was supportive of us parking up and stopping to chat to the elderly customers so long as it didn't throw the schedule out too much. Except for the odd old bat that were proper karens, always moaning about something or phoning the store to see how high they could make the manager's eyes roll, those ones would be known by all and thoroughly mocked by everyone back at the store!I posted a similar sentiment about a property upthread in the early part. I do some volunteering stuff and have learned since that it might not be hoarding per se - an ageing population, some elderly people have no help, no visitors and poor mobility. It doesn’t take long before a once well kept house falls into a sad state. Add to that depression, dependencies etc. It is sad.
I saw one in the Altrincham area a while back that featured two oil paintings of who I assume were the owners on easels in the middle of the (tacky) loungeI love the really expensive but badly decorated ones in footballers areas like Alderley Edge.
£7.5 millionjust proves money does not buy taste

It’s the marble effect kitchen for meCrikey, what was going through their head when they thought that colour scheme in picture 6 would be a good idea? I don't think I've ever seen that colour before on the large wall to the left? Metallic grey?
Dear god!For all Egypt fans

Hahaha, what hilariously bad taste. Those green floor tiles are pretty much the worst thing I've ever seen. I also notice on the map the house is closer to Oldham than Ashton-Under-Lyne. Presumably it would have ruined the owners delusions of grandeur to have the estate agent describe their house as being in Oldham.There’s certainly a lot going on inside…

That reminds me of a flat I had (in Wales) when I was 16. It was above a cafe so it was just the landing, the bathroom and three bedrooms. The rooms were let out individually and the kitchen was literally on the landing. There was an electric hob and a sink (next to each other) and that was it. Although they squeezed a table and two chairs onto the landing. Hysterical when I look back but I was well chuffed at the time. I had it to myself (possibly because nobody else would accept it). The bathroom had a dark blue suite which I was quite fond of. God knows why!Spacious kitchen anyone
(I kid you not this is in a 3 bed house)
Wow! Beautiful! Bit of a pain to get your Tesco shopping though I would imagine.Wow! In reality, I wouldn’t actually want to live here, but it conjures up a fascinating fantasy life

What I don’t understand is ok people don’t have a lot of money but why do you need to live in filth and mess and let your home get into that state?I can't unseen the monkey family on the bed.
It's sad that kids actually lived in a home like this, as shown by the Lego.
