Fancy channelling royalty in your home?
An eccentric eight-bed house with a dedicated throne room for a loo has hit the market – but despite its £950,000 price tag, it needs a bit of TLC.
The throne-style lavatory itself is kitted out with armrests and a cushioned back which, if it wasn’t a working toilet, would be fit for a Big Brother-style confessional den.
There’s even a long, red feathered rope, so you can flush in style.
Compared to the rest of the property, located in Blackwater in Hampshire, the loo is actually in the best condition – so while you might need to invest in some renovations elsewhere, you can rest easy knowing that the toilet doesn’t need touching.
Yes, the interiors are currently completely barren, but why not see it as a blank canvas?
The possibilities are endless, but you could definitely take inspiration from the ornate bathroom when it comes to the decor elsewhere.
It could also provide the perfect opportunity to get green-fingered since the garden resembles more of a jungle in its overgrown state.
There’s no shortage of space to make your dreams a reality though. The whole home measures more than 4,000 square feet, and the ground floor alone has – brace yourself – a kitchen, utility room, loo, breakfast room, dining room, family room, sitting room, living room, reception room, snug, and study.
With all those dining spaces, just think of the dinner party potential.
Up the stairs on the first floor, there are an impressive eight bedrooms and a cloakroom/WC, so if you need to host any friends after your banquet, there’s plenty of room.
Yet before you part with the best part of a million for the Camberley property, it’s worth noting that its floor plans don’t show any sort of bathing or shower facilities, and you’ll likely need to repurpose one of its many rooms.
Interested? The expansive home is now up for sale via auction through Waterfords and is also being advertised on Rightmove.
‘A large and versatile, characterful, eight-bedroom detached period house,’ the listing reads, adding that it’s found in a ‘well-thought-of area of town.’
The agent’s description continues: ‘The property, which occupies large gardens and grounds, now offers scope for the transformation into a stunning family [home] while others may look at alternative schemes and uses, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.’
Naturally, Redditors were quick to poke fun at the listing – which the SpottedonRightmove thread labelled ‘Game of Thrones.’
‘All I can think of is Lord of the Flies,’ @kayeishness penned, while @wybird likened it to something out of BBC comedy series Ghosts.
‘Button House version 2 – the sequel!’ joked @kimsala.
There was vast excitement too – with one lamenting that if he hadn’t just bought a house, he would’ve set up a viewing for this one instead.
‘So much potential,’ @ThatHairyGingerGuy wrote. ‘Yes it would be expensive and take time (and we’d have a huge mortgage) but it would be so worth it.
