"It's hard to know where to start with this incredibly alternative home", starts this description, giving us a glimpse into the writer's creative dilemma. But start s/he does, and once started there is no stopping.
"The bold colours and period features work supremely well with the open plan nature of the ground floor, totally encapsulating an industrial Victorian splendour with a hint of French Chateaux." Not just "partially" encapsulating, please note, but "totally".
"It's since been heavily featured in some weighty publications with Living Etc coining the phrase "Modern Gothic" when they ran a lengthy cover feature on the house: a description that sums it up perfectly." Do the words "heavily", "weighty" and "lengthy" suggest anything to you?
Let's go upstairs. "Every room has a theme and an individual style of its own which merits a name for each." I think in the circumstances we can forgive "which merits a name for each". If you had to walk around the stuffed birds, candles and anatomical drawings (see photo 54) you might not be too worried about what it is that is meriting what so long as you got out in one piece.
"From the 'Boho' to the 'Flooded Chateaux', it feels a bit like walking round a boutique hotel." A bit like.
All in all, it's quite something for a semi in south London.
