This house is fine...

All those outlets could be for anything, but sheer amount of lights make think it was used to shoot porn.
There's freaking stage lights in the conservatory lmao

This has to be a home customized for people with very specific needs, like people that require constant medical care and medical support equipment. That's my guess.
Yeah it's in a boring but respectable suburb in outer London. Don't get much for your money round that way, albeit prices have dropped recently. At 3,000 square feet it is quite large for a London house.
Sockets aside, I think it's hideous anyway. Beige everywhere. Those sand coloured bathrooms that developers suddenly decided looked cool. Shit blinds. Horrible built-in MDF units to try and make up for the fact that every inch of storage has been converted into a room. Absolutely nowhere to keep anything. Garden is meh, though a decent size. No character. Boring neighbourhood.
Doesn't explain the million downlights and the sockets near the ceiling. Just some cunt with no taste who wants to make absolutely sure he has a socket for every single one of his 17 televisions and projectors and associated gubbins and hang the aesthetics. I couldn't live somewhere so ugly.
At first I thought it was neat to have a dedicated audio/video room then the other rooms started to creep me out. Yeah that shit is not natural. I do appreciate the small crawl space in the bathroom though for when you need a quick get away.
You fool! UK plugs are the safest in the world. Never question the wiring standards of the UK ever again or I will do bad things to you.

London is stupidly expensive, but ÂŁ1 million can buy you a nice place - this just isn't one of them.
I live up North, where property prices are a little more sensible, and ÂŁ500k-ÂŁ600k can buy you something a lot more impressive / tasteful.
If you look at the zoopla link on page two you can see that they used the conservatory as a pool/games room with an additional TV/lounge area at the end.
Okay, fair enough. Thank you for explaining. I hope you can understand that Slime's post probably wasn't meant as malicious at all.

I've seen similar setups before, A family friend who we called Aunty had mobility issues and the house was somewhat similar with seemingly auxiliary sockets everywhere but you know what, they are super fucking useful and help the disabled who cares. It would not deter me from purchasing ever.
The price would...
Why aren't the covers white to match the walls.
The cost to replace them all would be quite hefty too. Could be used as an argument to lower the selling price.

the only rational explanation is someone ran a start up business in there and had it set up as an office. Or a doctor/dentist.

I can only imagine that this was a sort of long-term medical care house. The layout of the outlets makes me think these rooms must have had multiple beds each with lots of medical equipment of all sorts plugged in.
Honestly, given everything else also with the way the walls are laid out with the markings, that might be the most logical explanation. The one medical facility my father goes to definitely has a more "house" look to it, even to some degree in the building, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.
You can see what it looked like when they lived there in the Zoopla link. No obvious signs of medical equipment. Pool tables, hot tubs, normal bathrooms etc. I don't think this is it.
Fair point - but the decor is not what you would expect for some medical house thing either. Those bathrooms are absolutely classic for an upscale residential development from the last decade. Not what you would have in a functional house for invalids. The kitchen also. But maybe they put that stuff in and left the wall sockets? Possible I suppose.
As someone who cares not a jot for aesthetics - I can see the appeal of having sockets fucking everywhere. The Ceiling ones... - okay but if you are going to have 90 around the room, why not make it 100 and bung some up the top there? That house doesn't put me up nor down. Which is handy as there is sockets at midlevel too :D
Holy hell, the listing says there are only three bathrooms but the floorplans make it look like there are five, each with its own standing shower. I approve.
Just a few people in here and online generally. Including one of the people that is a Dr iirc.
Hmm, but why so many plugs everywhere? Someone with medical issues (say ventilator, medical bed...) might have a specialized bedroom, but not every wall in every room. Though I guess if you have enough money you would make your whole house accessible so you can hang out wherever you want for the day.
Some people were saying the odd places were probably for hoists and stuff like that.
