House on sale for £175,000 - but it has shower in the middle of BEDROOM

A three-bedroom house in Birmingham - on the market for £175,000 - has a shower in the middle of one of the bedrooms.

The peculiar feature was spotted by house hunter Rebecca Glover as she looked through properties online.

Baffled, she said: “Just seen this on Rightmove.

“Why have an en-suite when you can have a shower in the middle of your bedroom?”

The semi-detached house appears otherwise pretty normal, with a spacious lounge featuring bay windows and a beamed-ceiling kitchen.

There is a modern looking bathroom boasting a “rainfall shower" and back garden with a verandah.

The family home has a large, master bedroom and a small box room.

But it's the other bedroom which stands out. On one side is a single bed, bedside table and a desk, while up the other end is a colourful storage unit.

But in the middle of the room is a tiled shower cubicle. It has a clear screen around it and a mat on the floor.

The property is being sold by Gordon Jones estate agents and the description for the odd bedroom reads: “Double glazed window to rear aspect. Central heating radiator. Shower cubicle with electric shower.”

Meanwhile a house on the market for just £105,000 was ridiculed online, with some people saying it should be demolished instead.

The home, in Rugby, Warwickshire, is a fixer-upper in desperate need of restoration.

With leaks and serious black mould issues, Estate agents Crowhurst Gale, who listed the property on the market on Monday, admitted that it is "in need of renovation".

Images of the property show living room with boarded-up fireplace, bare wooden floorboards, and visible leaks.

The kitchen appears to have been ripped out and instead of where it should be, there is just a rundown sink and old shelves on the wall, which are covered in black mould and decay.

"They need to demolish it and start again, it'll never be clean,” one person wrote on social media.

"Mould. More mould. So much more mould,” another added.
