When looking to buy a new home, there are lots of essential amenities people have on their tick list - with multiple bedrooms, a drive and a garden often high up.
One thing that isn't on many people's lists, but might have reason to be, is a private bedroom for dogs.
This unique property in Stockport, Greater Manchester, is offering pet owners a bespoke room specifically for their favourite furry members of the family to sit back and relax in private.
The four-bedroom home has plenty of space for humans to enjoy, and also a secret sanctuary built under the stairs reserved for pets.

The end-terraced property hit the market at the weekend for £485,000 on estate agency PurpleBricks - and appears to have already been snapped up.
It is set over three floors and features two bathrooms, with a handmade gate created to separate the doggy space under the stairs.
The white door has cut-out paws and bones on it, so you know exactly whose room it is, and any lucky pet can peak out of their bedroom.
The previous furry resident, who appears to have been called Dave, was clearly an important member of the family.
He has his own orange doggy plaque on the bedroom wall and a personalised pillow on the sofa in the living room.
PurpleBricks described the impressive property as: "Beautifully presented end of terrace town house offering four bedrooms and two bathrooms over three floors.
"Additional under stairs recess currently used as an enclosed dog bed. The home is located opposite open green communal space with excellent views.
"Located within close proximity to shops, well regarded schools and the Manchester Airport Eastern Link Road. Viewing recommended."
Property hunters were loving the usage of the small space and commented on social media about the dog-friendly addition.
One person said: "And it’s even decorated for the dog. Love it. Looks like ‘Dave’ is well loved too."
A second joked: "Who said the space is for a dog? It could be for a small child."
One house-browser responded to the joke and said: "The paw prints on the wall inside? The sign saying ‘All you need is love and a dog’?
"And of course the chair cushion in the living room with a dog on it saying ‘Reserved for Dave’.
"Don’t know how they keep the house so pristine with a dog though!"
