Househunters spot brightly-coloured four-bed terrace on sale for £625,000 - but it's nothing compared to the inside
The property, which has been likened to 'Polly Pocket's home', is immediately visible from the road, sporting a baby pink exterior with bright yellow accents.
But if you think the exterior is bold, just wait until you step inside.
The colourful nature does not stop at the door, and the interior is even more full of quirky trinkets and furniture in every colour possible, with the owner's unique taste evident immediately upon entering.
It's a maximalist's fever dream, a celebration of individuality with not a beige wall in sight.
The walls are decorated in ramshackle, mismatched frames, while the furniture itself is in bright neon and primary shades.
Lampshades in various fabrics and patterns dangle from the ceiling, and even the bathroom is painted a vivacious yellow.
The garden hasn't escaped pops of colour either, having been painted turquoise, pink and yellow, and decked out with various rainbow furniture.
Love it or loathe it, this vibrant home on Bentham Road in the Hanover area in Brighton is impossible to ignore and it's certainly left the internet divided.
One user commented: 'The inside looks like it's owned by Polly Pocket.'
'I'd take this any day over the greige,' said another viewer.
Someone else joked: 'That's low key for Brighton.'
'Go big or go home,' another person wrote.
Someone else added: 'You found Mr Blobby's house!'
The listing, held by Wheelers Estate Agents for £625,000, describes it as a 'vibrant and spacious' home on a 'charming one-way street'.
The property boasts four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two cosy lounges, a spacious and open-plan dining room, and a kitchen.
One of the bedrooms appears to be being used as an office filled with fabrics, while a second room is equally pokey and could be used as a study.
It's not the only property which has left those looking a for a new pad open-mouthed for its choice in design or decoration.
A terrace house, in Boston, Lincolnshire, has hit the market for offers over £110,000, and has also caused a similar reaction
Upon first glance, the three-bedroom house looks unassuming as the exterior is narrow and cosy with a traditional tiled roof.
However, property hunters were left gobsmacked when flicking through the photos of the dwelling - questioning the interior-design skills of the current home-owner.
As soon as you step through the front door, you are greeted with a rather bizarre choice of ceiling in the lounge.
While many opt to keep their ceiling basic by opting for simple white paint, the owner of this property wanted to push the boat out by covering every inch of their roof with white fluff to create a cloud effect.
As soon as you step through the front door, you are greeted with a rather bizarre choice of ceiling in the lounge as it is seemingly made from cotton wool
The ceiling in the main living area is covered in what appears to be bits of cream cotton wool stuck together, with a flat white-tone light in the centre.
This peculiar design choice is said to have come from a TikTok trend in 2020, when many started to experiment with DIY during the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, some people slammed the current resident's decision to plaster the ceiling with cotton balls, claiming that it is a 'fire hazard' and that people have found nasty bugs hiding in the cracks and crevices of the material.
A Reddit user posted the house listing on the anonymous forum platform and said: Check out the ceiling in photo two. I had a WTF moment. What IS that??'
It racked up more than 100 replies, with one person writing: 'Oh my god this was a TikTok trend ages ago but people kept finding spiders and bugs in it.'
Another penned: 'Cloudy with a chance of fire hazard.'
A third said: 'That wall sticker in the bathroom is appalling even by tacky wall sticker standards. And stuck onto tile??'
A fourth commented: 'If that isn't owned by a single man, I'll be shocked.'
A fifth chimed in and said: 'What in the TikTok sponsored bachelor life is going on?'
Others pointed out that the owner should focus on cleaning their fish tank, also which is also located in the lounge, as it is a murky brown colour.
