Three-bedroom house on sale for £259k leaves house hunters shocked at ‘odd’ & ‘awful’ feature – would it put you off?
A TOWN house has just gone on the market for £259,000, but it’s left house hunters baffled.
The three-bed property in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, has been listed for sale on both Rightmove and Zoopla, but has been dubbed as ‘odd’ by many.
Not only this, but those looking to purchase a home have been left stunned by an ‘awful’ feature, leading many to claim: “I don’t understand’”.
The property has attracted attention online for all the wrong reasons, after being shared on the social media platform Reddit.
House hunters have been left confused over its strange structure, which sees a balcony on either side connecting the town houses together.
But that’s not all, as many were also confused by its very small front windows.
The estate agent‘s listing reads: “Chain-free modern, detached house with three bedrooms, two balconies offering lovely views, gated parking area for two vehicles, well-presented accommodation spread over three floors.
“Located within a quiet residential spot on the outskirts of East Cowes, this detached family home offers a fantastic opportunity to own a spacious, three bedroom house with accommodation spread over three floors.”
Inside, the ground floor is complete with an entrance hall, two double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.
On the first floor you’ll find the kitchen and a lounge, which has access to a private balcony.
Meanwhile, the second floor hosts the master suite, consisting of a main bedroom, dressing area and en-suite shower room.
From the dressing area you can access the roof terrace which boasts far-reaching views.
But Reddit users were left stunned by the design of the house – in particular by the window placement and balconies.
One Reddit user wrote: “Ok who was in charge of designing these houses? What an odd window placement in pic 1.”
I don’t understand that balcony on this house. It looks tatty like a 60’s block of flats

A second chimed in: “These balconies are awful….. who will use them? Sit on them? I don’t understand why.”
A third commented: “Whoever designed it clearly wasn’t listening to the screams of anguish of those around them.”
Whilst someone else penned: “I used to live round the corner from these, and they were a bit odd.”
But that’s not all, as another user chimed in: “I don’t understand that balcony on this house. It looks tatty like a 60’s block of flats that’s been badly kept.
“The window placement is so ugly and unbalanced as well.
“No mention of a garden so that balcony might be the only outside space about from your parking space.”
