A drab-looking 1960s' house has left house hunters reeling after it was listed for sale for an eye-watering £1.6m.
However, a quick look inside and it's clear to see why.
The home boasts five bedrooms and is large at 2,700 square feet with five storeys and a bathroom on almost every floor.
But it looks like almost any other mid century British home - and those who spotted it were amazed by its hefty price tag.
The pad, in Sydenham Hill, south London, is close to trendy Crystal Palace and has speedy train links into London.
However with 15 rooms, its asking price makes each one an eye-watering £106,000.
Described on RightMove by agents the Modern House as an "exquisite terrace", people who spotted it for sale on Twitter said that although it was perfectly pleasant, they were staggered by the cost.

Its description on RightMove says: "This expansive and elegant five-bedroom townhouse on Austin Vernon and Partners' beautiful terrace at Woodsyre, Sydenham.
"One of a series of exquisite terraces and estates between Dulwich and Sydenham Woods, Woodsyre is defined by its archetypal clean lines and generous proportions that characterise the practice's work of the 1950s and 60s.
"Stretching over five storeys, the key living spaces each have a distinct outlook and character, rising through the treetops."
The house lies on the Dulwich Estate, north of the centre of Sydenham and not far from posh Dulwich Village and East Dulwich.

"It is noted for its concentration of outstanding 1950s and '60s design, much of it by Austin Vernon and Partners," the description goes on.
"The mix of houses and thoughtful landscaping make for an appealing and unique place to live."
However it appears it is also an expensive place to live.
A dank three storey, four bed house half the size on the same road recently went under offer with an asking price of £749,000.

The home has a lower ground floor with reception room and office, the ground floor has a kitchen and dining room, utility room, bathroom and garage, while the first floor has another reception room, bedroom and bathroom.
And on the two upper floors are another four bedrooms, one with an en suite, a dressing room and two bathrooms.
There is a small and rather overgrown looking garden as well as a balcony.

Austin Vernon & Partners was established in 1948 when Russell Vernon (1916-2009) became a partner in the architecture practice of his uncle, Frederick Austin Vernon (1882-1972), who was the surveyor and architect to the Dulwich Estate.
One person who saw the listing added a photo on Twitter, saying: "I like these houses a lot.
"But that's quite a price."

Another lamented: "We all lived in council accommodation just like this. A heartbeat ago."
One replied: "Crikey, they don't often get over the million mark! Would love one *sigh*"
One added: "We've certainly hit new levels of property (and rent) price insanity."
Another said: "I mean Sydenham's nice but..."
