An eccentric artist who struggled to sell her own home due to its brightly decorated walls has given up on selling – and launched her own AirBnB instead. Potter and colour fanatic Mary Rose Young hit headlines in 2020 after sharing her quirky house which she had struggled to sell as buyers were 'put off' by the bright walls and patterned décor. Since buying the property for just £30,000 in 1987, the 64-year-old has spent decades decorating every available inch with dazzling colours and patterns, including polka dot floors and stripy ceilings. The Gloucestershire home was then put on the market in 2014 for £250,000, but Mary Rose and husband Phil Butcher failed to find a buyer, leaving estate agents "in despair".
