A British pottery artist and her husband are unable to sell their residence, which has been transformed into a “giant dollhouse” over the years, reports The Mirror.
Since purchasing the property for 30,000 euros (nearly $44,000 Canadian) in 1987, Mary Rose Young has redecorated her home into a huge, colorful work of art.
Since 2014, the artist and her husband Phil Butcher have been trying to sell the residence located in Lydney, United Kingdom. The couple wanted to use the money to open a boutique hotel. According to real estate agents, the value of the property was estimated at at least 250,000 euros, or approximately 365,000 Canadian dollars.
However, it seems that potential buyers were all put off by the home’s colorful style.
Mary Rose Young admits that she could have changed the decor to give the residence a more traditional style, but could not bring herself to erase “a life’s work.” Moreover, she says she is still in love with her house.
“I arranged this house around my lifestyle and never saw it as something that could be sold. We live here like two children in a dollhouse and in retrospect, why would anyone want to buy it? It’s a playhouse for children,” proclaims the artist.
The latter claims that she believed that a collector might have wanted to acquire the property, but no one has raised their hand until now.
“One person came to visit and looked at her, but she didn’t stay long,” Ms Young said.
