A three-bedroom home in Wymondham didn’t meet the expectations of Homes Under the Hammer star Jacqui Joseph.
Homes Under the Hammer star Jacqui Joseph didn’t hold back as she shared her take on a three-bedroom property which included a “disappointing” feature.
During Thursday’s episode of the popular BBC show, the long-running presenter visited the historic market town of Wymondham, located 10 miles from Norwich.
The town is known for its rich history and features one of the UK’s oldest pubs, which is believed to have opened in the 1300s.
While visiting the three-bedroom semi-detached property, which was up for auction, the presenter was impressed by its location, which was so close to transport links and essential amenities.
However, while inside the house, Jacqui shared her thoughts on the unfashionable decor. Standing in the hallway, she said, “Straight into your hallway, very neat.
“You’ve got textured ceilings, dated electrics. To my left, there is a full bathroom. That’s dated, that needs to go.
While in the kitchen, she expressed exhaustion: “The place is so dated. It really is. The size is not too bad, rip it all out and start again.”
With the bathroom being downstairs next to the front door, when Jacqui finally went upstairs, she shared her dissatisfaction. She said: Into the third bedroom, the final bedroom, a tiny compact double. But you have your boiler here – and actually, the boiler doesn’t look like it’s in a bad condition.
“Boiler in the bedroom, I’m not a fan of. I would like to see that down in the kitchen area.”
She then added, “But what is disappointing is that there isn’t a bathroom up here.” Sharing her ideas, the presenter suggested that maybe whoever gets their hands on the property could potentially put in a bathroom upstairs.
Property developer Joshua and his brother Marcus purchased the three-bed property for £170,000. Marcus, who was working on the renovations, later shared what updates they made to the property.
Although Jacqui was concerned about the layout, they still decided to keep the bathroom downstairs but replaced it with a brand new suite and tiles. They also included a new en-suite bathroom upstairs.
Marcus said, “With the space, it works. It really adds something to the room.”
