EWWW... Rhyl!!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Seriously?!

It's of it's time, hardly hideous or anything, despite the lime green bits, it's just a bit dated and tired.

I am with you on the polystyrene ceiling though.

As for the beam, it'll be useful for things. Ok, maybe badly placed against the skylight (although you could potentially stand on it and do things to the windows) , but would it be part of anything supporting?

Grade 2 listed as well 🤔

Buildings usually gets listed for external features. Maybe this is one where it specifcally states interior not of interest.

For threads like this there should be qualifying photo of the corresponding room in your own house.

That would stop me posting at least ! lol

I must say @MontyVeda that I'm thinking of putting this thread on 'ignore' if that's possible. Yes, the house that you've flagged wouldn't win any prizes for good taste but it's of the time when the owners were in their prime and that was the current fashion and it's probably being sold because they've both died or gone into care. The thread is about throwing stones and I suspect that most of us live in glass houses in respect of some areas of our lives. Just sayin' .....

My hoise wouldn't raise any eyebrows.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Now, lets have houses where the owner or owners have objectively gone out there and made something that looks genuinely bad, not just an unfair (probably) attack on an elderly person's tired and old decor from a previous era.

Please report the thread to the Mods if you're so concerned about it. Put me on ignore too if that makes you feel better.
Are we not allowed to say, poke a bit of fun at 70's fashion; stack heels, half mast flares, kipper ties???
Or would that too send some peoples' fragile sensitivity into overdrive?
Here's a bathroom that also made me think WTF...

I wanted to buy this house and would have thoroughly enjoyed hammering every single one of the those feckin' dolphin tiles off the wall.
I suppose that's animal cruelty?

If that makes you go "WTF?" then you clearly need to get out more.

Ok, It wouldn't be my taste either, I mean, those curtains must be all damp and mouldy, but I feel that modern decor is just SOOO bland!!

Bland decor for bland people I guess. 🤷‍♂️😆

"Lets make everything all slate grey or white and featureless... You cannot have anything personal... ITS AGAINST THE LAW!!

Bland bland bland!! 😴😴😴

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Also by all means poke fun at genuinely crap decor, but not that of an old person where it's just old and tired, that's just not fair (probably).

 

[MontyVeda]

like i say... some peoples' fragile sensitivity goes into overdrive.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I'm afraid I had to stop watching Homes Under The Hammer, because you would have a lovely old home that had great little period features, great fireplaces, stained glass windows, etc.

But then some w*****r would buy the place, rip it all out and make it into a bland, featureless, identikit house devoid of any sort of character or anything.

I always wondered what the hell people were thinking.
