$1.3m beach house has creepy bathroom secret
An eight-bedroom home in the UK has drawn attention not for its size or location — but for a bizarre bathroom tucked into the sizeable property. Located in the seaside town of St Leonards-on-Sea near Hastings, East Sussex, the four-storey property has hit the market for $US885,000 ($A1.3 million). It features multiple living rooms, two kitchens and three baths. But one of those lavatories stands apart — outfitted with stark tile, exposed plumbing, and a steel cabinet beneath a rusting mirror, a sign posted on the wall warns, 'Cell alarm system not in operation', the New York Post reports. The shower, which looks like it belongs in a prison, is located just off the main room. While the property's listing does not directly mention the unconventional design, it describes the home more broadly as 'offering incredible potential for families, investors, or those seeking a unique development opportunity'. The residence includes a ground-floor dining room, a utility room, and multiple bedrooms across all levels. One of the bathrooms is noted as a space that would 'benefit from refurbishment'. The property is currently being marketed by Leadenhall Estates. The listing frames the home as a balance of period charm and renovation opportunity, stating: 'Set over four generous floors, the property combines charming character features with areas in need of modernisation — making it ideal for customisation to suit your lifestyle or vision.'

Pristine home on the market for £170,000 leaves people 'nervous' over its extreme all-white interior
A two-bedroom bungalow on the market for £170,000 has come under fire for its pristine white interior that takes the 'greige' design trend to another level. The property, located in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, boasts bright and clean spaces, plenty of storage space and an envious proximity to schools and amenities. But as the 'greige' (grey and beige) trend grows in the world of interiors - where homeowners tear out a property's quirky features and instead opt for bland minimalism and modernism - this house keeps pace. The property listing, from estate agent Gebbie & Wilson, reads: 'Situated within a sought-after residential pocket of Stonehouse, this is an immaculate mid-terraced bungalow, ideal for a variety of purchasers. 'The property is presented in true walk-in condition, with tasteful neutral decor throughout. 'Internally, the accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, a bright and generously sized lounge and a modern fitted kitchen complete with a comfortable sitting area, providing direct access to a charming patio and the beautifully maintained rear garden.' And in a cheeky nod to the selective interior, one of the listed images features a chunky white hardback book, perched on the corner of a white coffee table, titled The Art Of Living With White. Would-be buyers took to social media to share their horror at the house's ghostly interior, believing the description's use of the words 'immaculate', 'bright' and 'neutral' was an understatement. One person referenced the book, writing: 'Living With White makes it sound like it's a medical condition, along the lines of "living with Alzheimer's" or "living with chronic pain".' To this, another quipped: 'Chronic pain would describe well trying to live with all that white.' Although the exterior is unassuming, the living room immediately welcomes guests into a world of white - with the walls, plush cushions, vase, lampshades, coffee table, rugs and fluffy throws all the same chalky colour. Visitors then walk into the kitchen where, apart from the surprising brown wooden floorboards, all other features are colourless, including the fridge, microwave, cupboards, rug and clock. The pop of colour offered by the garden provides a stark contrast with the house's interior, and one commenter wrote: 'Disappointing amount of green in that garden. Maybe they hadn't got to the chapter on whitewashing the lawn yet.' Another echoed this sentiment, writing: 'I'm shocked the garden isn't just white roses only.' Other prospective homeowners imagined visiting the house as a guest, and being terrified to spill or make any mess. One said: 'This makes me very, very nervous. Can I skip sitting down? I'll just stand here, just here, and not move an inch.' And one person shared a personal experience of that very situation. They wrote: 'I once picked my friend up from her Mrs Bucket mother-in-law's mansion. 'I got asked in for a cup of tea and her mother-in-law took me into that exact room where, once I'd sat down, she handed me a cup of tea and a chocolate digestive. I've honestly never been so petrified in my life.' However, the interior offers a surprising reprieve from the otherwise snowy mania. Where cupboards or chests of drawers are relatively easy to replace, the homeowner has nonetheless retained a deep mahogany chest. Eagle-eyed property fans spotted this, with one saying: 'Disappointed to see a brown wardrobe.' Another chimed in: 'The deep, shiny wood stands out soooooo strangely!! They'd be nice pieces of furniture in a house with more character…' Others noted the difficulty of living in such a house, where the room for error is already so minimal, with children or pets. One said: 'My border collie would permanently change that house within seconds.' However, the all-white interior, extreme though it may be, represents a port in the storm for many potential homeowners who prefer absolute minimalism at home in a chaotic world.
