Five-bedroom detached house on sale for £700k has 'incredibly trashy' feature
A five-bedroom detached house has gone on the market for £700k - but it comes with one 'incredibly trashy' feature that property hunters are calling 'absolutely wild'.
At first glance, the home in Waddesdon, Aylesbury, appears pretty standard with its red-brick interior and spacious, grey-scale living area.
And in the current economy snapping up a house with that many rooms for £699,950 is a deal many buyers would think about making.
But on closer inspection there is a very unusual element that appears to have left even the most seasoned house hunters lost for words.
The bathroom contains £50 note wallpaper plastered all around the wall.
Taking to TikTok, @HousingHorrors had a peek at the extremely unusual choice of interior and even branded it 'definitely a first' they had 'ever seen' on the property website Rightmove.
The presenter added: 'You get to the b***** bathroom and they've got £50 note wallpaper stuck to the wall - I'm sorry, this is insane. This is absolutely wild.
'And it goes all the way round.'
'I've just got so many questions - why on earth would you want £50 wallpaper stuck to your bathroom wall?
'Obviously it's their house, they can do whatever they want with it but I have to say this is definitely a first I have ever seen on Rightmove.'
Surreal images of the bathroom show how a single black toilet and sink are surrounded by the large 50 pound notes - of varying sizes and pointing in all kind of directions.
The social media personality questioned whether the wallpaper was a 'custom-made thing' or if someone could 'just buy this'.
While the house does seem fairly standard at first, other images reveal an underlying quirky touch applied to it by its owners.
For example, the dining area has a massive glass chandelier that hands off the ceiling ominously over a table.
And close by, there is another strange aspect to grace the ground floor ceiling - in the form of a massive mirror that reflects the black and white chequered kitchen floor.

In another, smaller room, the owners have been unable to resist the temptation of incorporating a large golden-framed mirror.
The area also contains its own chandelier, giving it a strangely fantastical touch.
And lastly, another room contains its own 'very interesting' wallpaper with the late Queen showcased on the wall in an iconic pop art format.
But it is only the bathroom that boasts the captivating £50 wallpaper which the TikToker has asked people's thoughts on.
In response to the video, one person commented: 'Incredibly trashy.'
But not everyone was so disapproving as someone else said: 'This isn't a horror - this is brilliant, it works quite well.'
The property is advertised as an 'impressive house in the sought after village of Waddesdon'.
Though, viewing is 'highly advised'.

Iron Maiden's insanely good Run For Your Lives Tour is a hit-packed metal masterclass with mind blowing visuals
METAL greats Iron Maiden have clocked up half a century of heavy-duty music — but still play like rockers a quarter their age. They kicked off the UK leg of their Run For Your Lives world tour on Saturday to mark the band 's 50th anniversary. 9 9 At one point, guitarist Janick Gers — who is two years off 70 — had his foot up on an amp that was higher than his shoulder. Then he was spinning the guitar around his neck before pointing it towards the sold-out crowd at Birmingham 's Utilita Arena like a weapon, as bassist Steve Harris provided rhythmic perfection next to him. Eddie, the band's mascot, also put in a shift and was stalking across the stage left, right and centre as the metallers thrashed through their 17-song set. Ahead of the shows, frontman Bruce Dickinson promised fans the concerts would 'put a smile on your face and a cheer in your throat'. And Maiden did that in spades. As I stood shoulder-to-shoulder with head-banging fans of all ages, a shirtless man ran from the sound deck towards the front of the stage and screamed: 'I would die for metal.' And I don't doubt it, as the band whipped the crowd further into a frenzy with tracks including Wrathchild, Number Of The Beast, Powerslave and Two Minutes To Midnight. The set list is packed with proper treats for Maiden fans. The band kicked off the show with Murders In The Rue Morgue, then later played Killers — tracks they haven't performed live since their Ed Hunter Tour 26 years ago. Visually, the show was among the most impressive I've seen recently, opening with the backdrop of the old East London streets some of them grew up in. Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson, 66, comes 13th in elite fencing tournament… only losing to Olympic gold medallist Classics such as Run To The Hills had the crowd screaming so loudly their energy seemed to push the band on more. Bruce then dressed as a prisoner sprinting up a staircase, running from a ghost, while Hallowed Be Thy Name played. Epics such as Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son and Rime Of The Ancient Mariner showcased the group's musicianship, before they kicked off the first song of the encore, Aces High. There were mind-blowing visuals of Spitfire battles blasting around behind them. Vocally, Bruce was on fire. 9 9 And given he barely stood still, the show was a masterclass for rising stars who can only dream of emulating the energy and talent he has perfected on stage over the decades. As well as roaring rock, the band made a point of paying tribute to their longtime drummer Nicko McBrain, who retired from touring in December. And they took the opportunity to introduce new man Simon Dawson, who thrashed the skins so hard from start to finish I'm amazed he didn't break his kit. Every show on Iron Maiden's UK and Ireland run is sold out, with the band selling just over a million tickets for the European leg. If you're lucky enough to have a seat at one of the shows, strap yourselves in and get ready for the ride of your life. It is insanely good. DANNY IN THE WIGHT MOOD FRESH from his honeymoon in Greece, The Script's Danny O'Donoghue was still on cloud nine ahead of the group's performance at the Isle of Wight Festival. He said of his romantic getaway with wife Anais Naing: 'I'm blessed. I'm a big history buff and it was gorgeous. 9 'If I wasn't in the band, I'd be trying to be travelling around anyway.' In our exclusive backstage chat, Danny also said his new sober lifestyle had helped him become a better musician, adding: 'I used to get so nervous at festivals. 'There were just so many famous people around and I thought if I got drunk, I'd find some courage. But that never happened. 'I'd have a few beers and l go into myself and want to leg it from the festival. "Although I've made these changes, very few others have, so I still find people I know asleep under tables at these things.' They were joined at the festival by acts including Stereophonics, Busted, Razorlight, Amy Macdonald and Sting – who was spotted jumping on the ferry with punters to get to the island. Last night, Justin Timberlake, Jess Glynne, Texas and Olly Murs rounded off an epic event. SAM NAN ZOMBIE FILM HELP ACTOR Sam Locke's nan was the secret weapon for helping him get a role in Danny Boyle's brilliant new film, 28 Years Later. He makes his big-screen debut in the zombie horror. 9 The Welshman popped in to see his grandparents when the call came to shoot an audition tape, and they sprung into action. Sam said: 'My nan read in for the roles. 'I was sitting with my grandfather and he was telling me, 'If you don't get the role, don't be disheartened'. 'About ten minutes afterwards my agent rang with the confirmation. 'There was a lot of excitement.' Sam revealed he had to be at peak fitness to take on the walking dead, and said: 'Luckily, I'm quite active anyway. 'But we had a week of stunt training and that pretty much trained our endurance. 'It helped us gel together." MILEY POPS UP IN SHOP MILEY CYRUS thrilled fans when she made a surprise appearance at an East London record store. She was joined by Naomi Campbell at the Rough Trade shop. They popped in to sign copies of their single, Every Girl You've Ever Loved, on Saturday. For one night only this Friday, fans can see Miley 's film Something Beautiful, which accompanies her album of the same name, when it hits cinemas. I can reveal she blew the budget on the wardrobe for the production, in which she wears a total of 17 outfits. The film includes videos for every track, along with a cameo by Naomi. Their song has given pals a laugh, as Naomi says the line: 'She never wears a watch, still she's never late' – but the model is notoriously never on time. CHARLI'S DUA DUET DUA LIPA delighted fans at the second night of her Wembley gig by bringing out Charli XCX. Dressed in a white lace bodysuit, Dua beamed as she performed her guest's party track, 360. 9 Meanwhile, Charli kept things more simple with a white top, tiny shorts and sunglasses. Bizarre exclusively revealed last week that Charli was being lined up for a special appearance. Our Jack was in the crowd and he says it was the highlight of the night. After a short break, Dua will play two gigs at Anfield in Liverpool later this week. Meanwhile, Charli headlines The Other Stage at Glastonbury this weekend. TYLA looked sensational on the red carpet ahead of her hosting duties during the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in LA. The South African singer who will bring her show to the All Points East festival in London in August, fronted the ceremony, where Sabrina Carpenter was the big winner. 9 She took Favourite Song for Taste, Favourite Female Breakout Artist and Favourite Album for Short n' Sweet. Sabrina acknowledged her risque image while accepting the awards in a video message. The chart-topper, who has come under fire for her raunchy outfits and lyrics, said: 'I've always wanted one of these ever since I was a little girl. 'This is so special to me and I just can't thank each and every one of you enough for voting. 'I will continue to make these clean versions of these songs for you.'
