A three-bedroom timewarp house is being sold for just £100,000 but home hunters are puzzled about what happened in the bathroom.
The mid-terrace looks very unassuming from the outside, although the front door needs a lick of paint and the garden is overgrown.
The backyard has been cut back but is full of dead vegetation and has a ramshackle shed at the bottom.
Inside it appears stuck in the past with a free standing cooker in the kitchen and old-fashioned, damaged cabinets.

There is a 70s-style gas fire in the bare lounge which also needs redecorating.
The three bedrooms are empty and have exposed wooden floorboards.
But the bathroom has got prospective buyers talking.
How it got in such a state remains a mystery.

The tub and basin are caked in brown grime with it covering the edges and insides.
It is also smeared all the way up the walls.
The house in Devizes, Wiltshire, is being sold by Strakers estate agents and advertised on Rightmove.

The listing doesn’t mention the bathroom but says the house in general is “in need of renovation.”
One home-hunter said: “Something truly horrific looks to have happened in this bathroom.
“’In need of renovation’ seems like an understatement.”
Another – called Daisy – said: “Is that pigeon poop?”
Ashley Richard said: “Honestly, I’d rather not know either way.”
The house is being sold by auction on 15 February with the £100,000 being a guide price.
The listing reads: “Three bedroom, mid-terrace house in need of renovation and situated in a popular residential address.
