The mid-terrace home in Horley, Surrey, has gone on the market for £300,000, and has raised some eyebrows for having an exposed flushing toilet just a few feet from the kitchen
A three-bed house has gone on sale for £300,000 – but the toilet is located in an unusual place.
The mid-terrace home comes with three bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen dining room and a sizeable bathroom. As you enter you’re taken straight into kitchen, where you’ll find the standard cooker, stove, fridge, and microwave combination, alongside a somewhat more unique feature.
A walk-up flushing toilet can also be seen positioned just a few yards away, proudly on show next door the front door. It’s certainly a brave design choice, and might appeal to lovers of convenience who wish to keep an eye their cooking while on the loo.
If you don’t fancy welcoming unexpected guests while on the toilet, however, there’s another bathroom upstairs. Across the landing, the bedrooms are situated in single file order. One room is scattered with clothes and belongings, with another offering enough space for a double bed. The other bedroom is currently being used as a second sitting room, with a television and convertible sofa bed. Outside, there’s a private gated entrance with a patio front garden offering ample space and storage.
Located in Horley, Surrey, it’s only a five minute walk to the town centre, and has been advertised by estate agents as perfect for a small family looking for a renovation project. There’s also easy access to Gatwick airport, and two schools only a stone’s throw away.
While no doubt drawing in would-be buyers with its £300,000 price tag, snaps of the house have also made their way to X, where it has attracted a different kind of attention. Users have been left intrigued by the walk-in toilet and the layout of the ground floor.
One woman said: “The need to poop after eating is a real problem for a LOT of people. I feel this layout in the way of the future,” with a detailed graph to back up this point attached. Another commented “Good lord, my EYES”, and someone else joked: “Auto-rinse dishwasher there in the corner, with built in waste disposal unit,” Ammon added. The house is currently listed with Mansell McTaggart in Horley for offers over £300,000.
