...uma casa com nomes demais/com um excesso de nomes
Se a ação é na Inglaterra, creio ser este o sentido. As casas recebem nomes (principalmente as mais antigas, como Tudor Houses) além de números, e os nomes são muitas vezes mais importantes que os números.

... uma casa demasiado cristã/relegiosa
I was unable to find any ref. with christened houses anywhere...so my suggestion is this one...One would have to assume that perhaps this house was decorated of build more like a religious shrine or worship home...it is strange...good luck!

casa batizada com muitos nomes
Achei um texto que fala de over-christened babes na Nova Zelândia, então casa deve ter quase o mesmo sentido. Na Europa é comum dar nomes às casas.

uma casa demasiado gabada (ou valorizada)
Lembrei-me desta hipótese, por confronto com o pouco mérito arquitectónico
