A TWO-bedroom terraced home that appeared too good to be true has stunned house hunters after something very strange showed up in one of the listing photos.
The £200k residential property has been hailed as being nestled in one of “Ipswich’s desirable residential pockets”.
The gaff welcomes potential punters in with a block-paved frontage leading to a UPVC entrance door.
It boasts a homely red-brick open fireplace, bespoke shelving and cabinetry, and features rich oiled wood floors that flow through to the adjoining dining area.
However, walk through the kitchen area and you will be met with an eye-opening discovery.
The area has a sink and a generous amount of storage room, but also has a toilet perched in the intimate space.
But beyond the quirky feature, the rest of the home will no doubt impress would-be buyers.
A description on Rightmove says: “The principal bedroom enjoys generous proportions, original flooring and a charming Victorian fireplace, while the second bedroom also features built-in storage and a period fireplace overlooking the rear garden.
“The family bathroom combines traditional style with contemporary comfort, offering a freestanding roll-top bath and a separate walk-in rain shower.
“A loft hatch with ladder provides useful access to additional storage space.
“Outside, the rear garden is a great sun spot, with room for planting, relaxation and alfresco dining – a quiet escape just moments from town.”
Property hunters will also be impressed by the surrounding area, while attractive transport links and amenities are both a stone throw away.
The listing added: “Perfectly positioned, Hervey Street sits within walking distance of Ipswich town centre, where a wide array of shops, cafés and restaurants line the historic streets.
“The tranquil Christchurch Park is also close by, offering 70 acres of green space for walks and leisure.
“Commuters will appreciate the proximity to Ipswich Station, providing regular direct rail links to London Liverpool Street in under an hour, while local schooling options are excellent, with both primary and secondary education nearby.”
Earlier in the month, The Sun reported on a similar house in Bristol.
The property had a bewildering bathroom and kitchen setup that may have left prospective buyers thinking again.
The open-plan utility room may have seemed perfectly normal at first glance but taking a closer look you’ll find an unwelcome addition.
A surprise toilet can be found alongside the room’s typical kitchen appliances and items – and it was the butt of jokes online.
The room was home to a washing machine, a fridge-freezer, a sink and even a coffee machine laid out on a cabinet.
But despite food and drink being stored there, there is nothing to separate the toilet from the rest of the room.
