Discover what makes this property so peculiar.
On the surface, this semi-detached house appears entirely ordinary; however, an unexpected element inside has left prospective buyers scratching their heads in confusion.
The home features three bedrooms, a charming balcony, and an entrance hallway that welcomes visitors. Notably, it boasts what is described as a "spacious lounge," which could certainly attract interest from potential homeowners. Additionally, there's a dining area that spans the full width of the property, providing ample space for family gatherings and meals.
Property seekers will also appreciate the detached garage, private driveway, and a garden as part of the listing. However, one particularly unusual detail stands out: there is a fully plumbed toilet located in the conservatory.

This oddly placed bathroom facility sits directly on a concrete slab, beneath a glass ceiling and adjacent to a glass wall, making it quite exposed. To add to the strangeness, the toilet lacks any form of door, screen, or opaque walls to ensure privacy.
According to the house listing, the kitchen provides generous storage options including an integrated oven and hob, along with space for additional free-standing appliances. A single door leads from the kitchen into the conservatory, a bright and airy area that can also be accessed from the dining room, offering versatile space to accommodate various purposes. The listing further notes that the inclusion of the plumbed toilet opens up the possibility of creating a downstairs WC if desired.
This quirky home is located in Farington, near Preston, Lancashire, and is being marketed by Ben Rose. The auction for interested buyers concludes on January 26.
Interestingly, this isn’t the only property that has sparked curiosity among buyers. In Haslingfield, approximately six miles south of Cambridge, another house was recently listed that appeared normal from the inside but astonished viewers with its eccentric exterior decor. This 19th-century, four-bedroom home is on the market for £450,000 and has been creatively restyled by an amateur artist.
The exterior walls of this property are adorned with 139 unique artwork designs painted on plywood, showcasing portraits of people, animals, still-life flowers, and a myriad of other imaginative creations. This vividly decorated house has earned the nickname "The Portraits House" on Google Maps, thanks to the work of Robert Petryszak, who began crafting these pieces during the COVID-19 lockdown, turning his home into a local landmark.
