That's a 2 player pump it up arcade machine, nice!

The front looked nice, I hate the look of the back though

Victorian detached at the front, 1960s school at the back. The planners need a slap for letting that through.

More soulless than the unused boardroom of an SME based in a small industrial estate built in the late 1990s.

Spotlight hell, pseudo-idyllic Edwardian childhood signifiers, 20 shades of griege, an auditorium worth of chairs & sofas arrayed about the pool, bizarre proportions, including in the original house due to unnecessary removal of walls.

View of the distant trees from the glass extension in photos 12 & 13 marred by service station style landscaping in the near to mid-ground.

I spotted: 4 all-year-round Christmas trees, 1 rocking horse that has probably not been rocked in 80 years and 1 vintage pram.

Christmas stockings hung over the fireplace in the original hall. Pony club rosettes pinned above the window in the "child's" bedroom.

Ah yes, I spotted the stockings and had a horrible feeling they counted as part of the furnishings.

Pony club rosettes pinned above the window in the “child’s” bedroom.

So there are. If I am getting the house's orientation right, there is a stables not fat behind it that has a lot of ponies for kids to ride, so it's possible there is someone into horses in the household.

The flamingos head jutting out of the wall is more difficult to explain.

Yeah, if the rest of the house weren't so stagey I'd take the child's room & rosettes at face value. It just feels like an attempt to sell an idea.

Spotted a second rocking horse, beyond the grey modular sofa which overlooks the steps down to the swimming pool.

I missed that - good eye. Although, It doesn't look like a rocking horse, more like a statue or big toy (my niece has a few like that).
