Thank you. I am properly disoriented now.

My partner say this might be an example of Outsider art.

omg! i honestly liked something here.

TIL my mental health isn't that bad.

Real estate agents when you get to the bedroom:

Picture #15 will shock you! (so much so that it's censored?)

I spent too long trying to figure out what was going on with the walls (and ceiling!) in #s 2 and 3. My first thought was a kid run amuck with markers, but it's too..."well done." Wall paper? No, it's not regular enough. All I can come up with is stamps, which is confusing on its own.

Oh, and the spot at the end of the stairs in #9, under the window to another planet--that's got to be beginning of a wormhole forming, right?

That was truly awful. Owner afflicted by some ancient mummy curse?

Wow. Awful taste and poor execution! What a trip.

Did they just let the kids decorate?

Egyptian hieroglyphs and Jedward - tasteful combination.

As a kid I had a short phase where I was obsessed with stickers and wanted to stick them on every part of the house. Seeing this I'm glad my parents didn't let me.

Yeahhhhhh this strikes me as someone who should have gotten help but didn't and was in a weird place.

The Twilight poster? Or the Egyptian ice cream ad?

Well, you pay 125k for walls, a roof and some pipes and electrics. In some places that's cheap.

Or you are just not as old yet. Some people also stop caring/get depressed when they get old and live alone.

Updating and Modernisation Required

Indeed.

Can we talk about the singular run of fence? Nevermind the house, that's where my questions lie.

Honestly? A new coat of paint on the walls and a new kitchen & bathroom and this place would be pretty solid.

Yeah, honestly if I were in the market there, this place would catch my eye real quick. The poor taste can be mostly solved with some paint in a weekend or two, but the terrible look will be offputting to enough people that you will probably get a better price

I appreciate the jaunty angle of the toilet cistern. It has seen some shit but maintains an indefatigable elan.

"Oh, Egypt... Egypt... Egypt... Justin Bieber shrine... Egyp... wait, what?"

It's like a doctor who episode that really shit the bed

The rest of the fence wasn't putting up with that shit. Nature starting to heal in that backyard....

"property that can be tailored to individual tastes and requirements. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scope and potential on offer within this promising property."

Realtor enjoyed writing thst

100x the sales revenue if it be listed on the art market rather than the property market.

that unapologetic use of color, i think. pink doorframes? i could have those too.

The Edward poster juxtaposed with the Jedward poster is peak

Looks pretty mouldy to me. I'd inspect that one verrry carefully.

It might be. Pretty terrible outsider art, though.

I'm disappointed by the lack of Egyptian theme in the backyard. I expected the them would carry through.

It’s really ironic that while the internet is actually driving all crazy it’s also place where I can see just how sane I actually am

Seems like the listing might be part of a pyramid scheme.

Yeah, there is definitely a moisture problem somewhere. Could be from the fact that the shower is just a fucking floor pan in the middle of a room.

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.

Only from physical artifacts? Plastics will mostly crumble from oxidation, so thank god it can't be Funko Pops.

But I've seen blown-glass ornaments of a head sticking out of a toilet.

Were there boobs in pic 15 or something?

TBH I feel like maybe the wall of teen idols with a crucifix above them all tells a story I am not sure I want to hear.

But...having seen a lot of generic greige walls in my day, I admire something that's immediately so ugly to my eyes. Genuinely.

Witness Me

The two crucifixes are a nice addition to all that.

wooowwww

It's like living inside KidPix

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.

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

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.

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.).

Wouldn't be surprised if the toilet was a later addition and simply tacked onto the back. I believe that wasn't unheard of.

I was prepared for Groverhaus: UK, but not for GroverTut’s Psychadelic Tomb

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).

Maybe because it's also in awful shape.

Seems like you could only express yourself in the form of heiroglyphs or teenage heart throbs.

The last house we bought was owned by a lady who collected and restored old books. There were over 5000 books in the house. There were bookcases on every wall, many of them in front of windows. The were stacks of books all over. It made the place really dark and feel cramped, but my wife and I could easily picture it without the books and bookcases, while apparently a lot of people couldn't. We got an amazing deal on it.
