A British countryside mansion has been listed for £900,000 – and it comes with a rather ‘pawtastic’ surprise.
If you hate the smell of wet dog, look away now.
Swanwick House, as it’s been named, looks like an ordinary, quintessentially English home from the outside.

But, in the garden, there’s a surprise awaiting that rakes in £50,000 per year.
Aside from the two acres of manicured land – which features patios, luscious greenery and al fresco seating areas – there’s also a fully-established doggy day care centre, reports Luxury Property News.
The business is situated behind gated fences, with playhouses and obstacle courses ready for dogs to run wild.
Inside, there are photos of pups on the pink brick walls and an open-plan area for furry friends to relax after a busy day.
It has scope for expansion, especially as the land has previously held planning permission for dog-friendly lodges; further increasing its already healthy income.
The main residence, which used to be a fully functioning pub, features eight bedrooms and four bathrooms, along with two kitchens, two dining rooms and a cellar.
Upon stepping inside, the utility room offers a place to clean off after a muddy walk or play session.
The living room comes with an original fireplace and timber wooden beams on the ceiling; adding a rustic effect.
One of the kitchens is designed open-plan and doubles up as a dining room, which follows onto another living area.
The bathrooms are simple, yet modern in design, with the main bedroom offering an ensuite complete with walk-in shower.
With original brick fireplaces and low ceilings, the property brings a truly British countryside feel wherever you look.
Outside, there’s a separate annexe, complete with its own living and dining area, kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom and gym.
The property, which is located in Brome, is just a two hour drive from the capital; making it ideal for commuters.
David Hawkes, listing agent, said: “This is one of the most impressive commercial to residential conversions I have encountered in 13 years of estate agency.
“No corners have been cut, from insulation to high-quality windows to the thoughtful layout and beautifully maintained exterior.”
The whole title, with no chain, is listed for £900,000 with eXp UK.
