You can buy a house with a toilet next to the bed

Looking for a quirky property investment opportunity? A house with a rather bizarre trait in one of its bedrooms has gone on the market for just shy of £360,000.

At first glance, it looks like your typical four-bedroom abode – complete with an open-plan kitchen-come-dining room, lounge and neatly pruned back garden.

But inside, there’s a pink-themed bedroom housing a toilet mere inches from the bed, alongside a freestanding bathtub and sink.

It might all sound rather intimate (and potentially somewhat unhygienic), but look at it this way: it would considerably shorten the morning commute from bed to shower.

For context, in June 2024, figures from Zoopla placed the average UK house price at £265,600. However, detached properties (like this one) even out at £449,000 – which is considerably more than this little West Yorkshire bungalow.

And, alongside the hustle and bustle, it’s been hailed as the ideal family area, from its proximity to the wider West Yorkshire countryside to its educational offerings.

‘Fabulous, extended four-bedroom detached dormer bungalow, situated in the sought after location of Gildersome Village and having good access to motorway links, local amenities and good schools,’ the listing reads.
