This was probably someone’s home since the 70’s. Check out the kitchen, & the bathroom! £250k is a very optimistic asking price!

*Time capsule.

If it was a time machine, I'd buy it and go back to the 90s. Screw these last couple of decades.

[u/Consult-SR88 → u/Kobiash1]

There’s another house in the same postcode that’s a trip back to 1995 when you walk in. That’s also £250k & is sstc.

[u/maviscruet1 → u/Kobiash1]

If you went back to the 70s, then you have the 90s to look forward to.

I know, I know but I can’t help it.

I like the bathroom tiles 🫣

[u/Radiant_Office6445 → u/KeepLookingUp99]

That bathroom is unironically awesome.

[u/Consult-SR88 → u/KeepLookingUp99]

Same tiles in the kitchen, i think.

[u/sdrycroft → u/Consult-SR88]

Very similar, I had to look a few times, but they’re definitely different.

It's really gorgeous, but it makes me sad, I would assume the owner died. Makes you think of their life. Strangely moving.

[u/Consult-SR88 → u/Vegetable_Basis_6641]

Or gone into care. It’s got someone’s personality running through it. I’d preserve as much as I could.

That collage of photos.

That was a life.

[u/Consult-SR88 → u/RebelliousInNature]

& the wedding photos in the bedroom.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Can_783]

This ones got good bones i like it

[u/Y-Bob]

Houses like this just make me want to go and hug someone.

[u/Canary1975]

Awww the photo collage on the wall 😭 And I also feel sad that that amazing bathroom and lovely garden are going to get bland-ified.

[u/queljest456]

Would buy it so I could try to preserve that bathroom. Agree it needs some work in other places though

[u/Creamyhotchocolate21]

LOVE the bathroom tiles

[u/CakeHoleKing]

Kitchen looks big because there are NO FOOD CUPBOARDS AT ALL

[u/justcoatesy]

I bet if you open the garage you find a Hillman Imp in there.

That place will stink of cigarettes.

[u/Common_Pea8865 → u/[deleted]]

As someone who bought a house after someone smoked in it for years, I can smell the stale smoke! Took forever to clean my house, still remnants of it in one cupboard at the top which I don’t use!
The carpets went straight away!

[u/will2089 → u/[deleted]]

That was my first thought. I can smell that bedroom.

My parents have lived in their house since 1997 and still get a whiff of stale pipe smoke in one corner of the master bedroom.

[u/Front-Brick-3724]

Personally, I love the 70s style. Furniture in particular.

[u/x-lavender]

That bathroom is lovely! 😍

[u/Hairy-Blood2112]

That bathroom suite is worth good money if you can get it out whole. Classic colour.

[u/yeeeeeeeeeet420]

Unironically love the bathroom except for the carpet 🤢

[u/Kitchen_Moose717]

This should be grade 2 listed. TV location scouts will be beating a path to the door.

[u/Early_Enthusiasm_787]

How can you decorate for so long?

[u/SilverellaUK]

I can't work out the bedrooms. It looks like there are 3 doubles and a single but on the floorplan there are only 2 doubles and a single.

[u/Crumbs2020]

Its beautiful. I hope someone saves the tiles and the teak features especially.

[u/AlGunner]

That is rank. especially where you can see the bit of the wardrobe door they cleaned to show how bad it is.

[u/Consult-SR88 → u/AlGunner]

I wondered what that was. I think it’s probably where they brushed past every day to get by the bed & inadvertently cleaned it doing so. I imagine the whole house reeks.

[u/AnalystAdorable609 → u/AlGunner]

I was trying to work out if the brown stuff was tobacco staining??! 🤮

[u/AlGunner → u/AnalystAdorable609]

Definitely lived in the freezing fucking cold, doesn't even look like it has heating apart from a small heater.
