<\/p>\nBRITAIN'S worst-looking homes can be revealed – from block brick bungalows that remind locals of a prison\u00a0to a building dubbed 'The Crematorium'.<\/p>\n
High hopes and thousands of pounds can't always prevent new builds from turning into flops, while older houses can wither away with a lack of care becoming a blight to locals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re thinking of selling up, this look at some of the country\u2019s ugliest homes has lessons of what not to do as you look to maximise your price.<\/p>\n
Here are 10 of the ugliest domiciles in Britain today, from Grand Designs\u2019 fails to derelict dumps.<\/p>\n
'Abandon all hope U who enter in' this house tells any visitors, and it might just be right. <\/p>\n
This Bradford house, reviewed in a viral TikTok video by @adamzinho.1, a Scottish house hunter influencer, shows off "the worst available house in the UK". <\/p>\n
His\u00a0comical tour of the home's \u00a315,000 Rightmove listing reveals walls covered in graffiti, old sofas in the garden, and a roof under repair.<\/p>\n The spooky phrase 'Abandon all hope U who enter in' is written in red paint above one door and other bizarre, multicoloured pictures have been painted onto the interior walls. <\/p>\n Wood and dirt are strewn across the unfinished floor and without a complete ceiling, the house would have brisk ventilation. <\/p>\n This extension to a Victorian villa was nominated as Britain's ugliest building in 2017 and reminded people of a Lego brick. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The stone-clad extension in Malvern, Worcestershire, replaced a demolished single-story Victorian building, brought down to make way for the "monstrosity" which houses a kitchen and a living area. <\/p>\n "The architect has made no attempt to unify the house and now most people assume this family home to be a medical centre,\u201d said the man who nominated the building for the ugly building gong to the London Economic. <\/p>\n This three-bedroom Blackmill home in Wales was up for sale in July for only \u00a380,000.<\/p>\n But social media commenters on Reddit alluded to why the grey, boxy digs might have been priced so cheap.<\/p>\n "From the outside that actually looks like a public toilet block," said one. <\/p>\n The inside was not much better, with commenters noting the cigarette smoke left behind by previous occupants. <\/p>\n "I can smell the pictures," said another commenter.<\/p>\n But, the home's redeeming feature is its view, with lovely vistas of the Welsh valley Blackmill sits in.<\/p>\n These London bungalows have been referred to by locals as looking like a prison, a crematorium, and even a factory. <\/p>\n And for good reason, the 12 red brick houses with large chimneys only have small windows, giving an impression that entering one could be your final journey.<\/p>\n The one and two-bedroom houses were built in 2014, replacing an old folks home that was left derelict. <\/p>\n A former council leader who lived opposite the bungalows, told the Barking and Dagenham Post: \u2018It looks like the prison they want to build down the road.\u2019<\/p>\n One house in London's Richmond has been described as "invisible" and "ghastly".<\/p>\n But maybe residents didn't like their reflection after this owner decided to cover the front of the house in mirrors. <\/p>\n Residents told The Sun in 2022 the \u00a31.6million home reflected light into their eyes and didn't fit the historical architecture of the road. <\/p>\n "All the buildings on this road are historical from the 1800s so it just doesn\u2019t fit.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t care. They can do what they want and it doesn\u2019t affect me but I think it\u2019s ghastly,\u201d one resident said at the time. <\/p>\n The owner told MyLondon that he saw passers-by checking their reflections out. <\/p>\n Another Grand Designs flop was a Scottish house built on an airfield and inspired by an aircraft hanger.<\/p>\n Host Kevin McCloud returned six years after work started to check in on the house after storms and a lack of money had stopped building.<\/p>\n He found curved bedrooms and a grey corrugated iron exterior, which he described as "magnificent" and "sleek", but viewers didn't like the design as much. <\/p>\n When the show aired one person said: "They\u2019ve f****** their budget building a massive shed," while a second commented: "What the bejesus is that monstrosity?"\u00a0<\/p>\n Judges for an architecture wooden spoon award referred to this house as a "monstrosity" that looks \u201cmore like an electricity substation than a home\u201d.<\/p>\n The three-bedroom \u00a3800,000 home in London's Streatham was designed by its architect owner with the environment in mind and includes solar panels on the roof and shutters for the windows.<\/p>\n It didn't win the Carbuncle Cup, but its owner hit back at being nominated telling the Evening Standard he was \u201cvery proud\u201d of the design, adding: \u201cI\u2019m an architect \u2014 I know what I\u2019m doing.\u201d<\/p>\n The Royal Institute Of British Architects loved this Thunderbirds-inspired water tower and it was shortlisted in Grand Designs: House Of The Year.\u00a0<\/p>\n But the show's viewers were less than impressed by the\u00a0Norfolk\u00a0home.<\/p>\n Owners Dennis Pedersen and Misa Godebska compared it to a \u201cBond-lair\u201d with the home covered in steel cladding, featuring large vertical glass windows, and the control room converted into a living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n One viewer branded it \u201cgenuinely the ugliest house I\u2019ve ever seen\u201d and another remarked: \u201cChrist that tower is ugly and inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n Pedersen and Godebska conceded it \u201cdoes wobble in the wind\u201d especially during storms.<\/p>\n Another ugly house in the lego brick category, this Plymouth pad is currently on the market for \u00a3600,000.<\/p>\n The four-bedroom three-bathroom house has great facilities like a gym, a double garage, and a balcony. <\/p>\n But, Reddit users savaged the grey exterior as looking like "This house invests in crypto, and is going to tell you all about it."<\/p>\n "I feel like if I was paying \u00a3700,000 for a house, I would want it to look\u2026not like this," said another commenter. <\/p>\n A couple who appeared on\u00a0Channel 4's Ugly House to Lovely House\u00a0in 2019 chose to renovate their house with orange joinery. <\/p>\n Show host George Clark tactfully said the home was "radically different" from those of neighbours.<\/p>\n But social media users weren't so kind, describing the black and orange exterior as "ugly" and looking like a "B&Q". <\/p>\n Despite the backlash, many commenters said they were won over by the couple at the centre of the episode and their journey to provide a loving home for their family, proving beauty isn't only what's on the outside. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/newspress-collage-24791159-1700478179435.jpg\")
