Ordinary three-bed terraced home hides incredible PALACE in living room

A three-bed property with a palatial Roman-style living room has been listed on the market for £300,000.

The terraced home in Christchurch, Dorset was listed on the market on Tuesday March 8.

The large living room takes up over half of the downstairs and its main feature is a detailed ceiling painting that depicts angels flying and sitting on clouds.

The depiction is bordered with round gold and blue trim with various patterns.

A bust of a woman stands tall at the back of the room, while gold trimmed patterned chairs and couches are positioned next to the light blue walls.

There is a marble coffee table that sits on an old fashioned royal-looking carpet whilst a large gold rimmed mirror hangs on the back wall.

Breaking the Roman theme, there is a flat screen TV hung from the wall and a guitar amplifier resting on one of the chairs.

Leaving the lavish room, the rest of the house appears to be far more common.

The kitchen is of a good size and has a double glass door that leads to the garden.

Two of the three bedrooms are of good size and can comfortably accommodate double beds, while the third room could only fit a single bed.

The only bathroom in the property is situated upstairs and has a large bath and a separate shower.

In their listing on Rightmove, Goadsby, who are managing the property wrote: "A spacious terraced home situated in a popular area being just yards from Two Riversmeet Leisure Centre with its golf course.

"Christchurch town centre is also easily accessible.

"There is a covered entrance porch which has a storage cupboard, a door leads through to the lounge.

"The lounge is a good size with a front aspect window.

"A door leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room which has ample space for a dining table whilst also having a good range of wall and floor cupboards with working surfaces over...

"There are 2 doubles, both having fitted cupboards and Bedroom 3 is currently used as an office.

"The bathroom benefits from a corner bath with separate shower cubicle, pedestal wash hand basin and low level w.c."

One social media user saw the unique living room and decided to share it on Reddit: "For just £300k you can enjoy the wonders of the Sistine Chapel from the comfort of your own living room."

The post has over 100 likes and has been commented on over a dozen times.

Reddit users found the living room amusing.

@Left4pillz commented: "It's a pretty appropriate design given the city's name, Christchurch."

@Nicowltan replied: "That living room is insane, but I'm a big fan of the dog at the back door."

@busyphil added: "Wow.

"I love the way the description doesn't reference that ceiling at all."
