It boasts a bright conservatory over the garden, a cosy kitchen and a light filled attic that would make a perfect studio for anyone arty.
But beneath the sash windows, “feature striking” fireplaces and delightful walled garden sits something far stranger.
In the basement is a mysterious chair fitted with straps, raising plenty of eyebrows online.
The unusual addition is not mentioned at all in the listing from estate agents Eadon Lockwood and Riddle, as reported by Luxury Property News.
The property, in Rotherham, South Yorks, was originally a four bedroom home but has since been reworked to create a bigger, more luxurious main bedroom.
The listing reads: “Spread across four floors, this distinctive property offers generous and versatile accommodation, with each space telling its own story through beautiful architectural details and traditional features.
“From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by an atmosphere of creativity and comfort.
“The elegant lounge and sitting room feature striking fireplaces, tall sash windows, and ornate cornicing that together create a sense of timeless grandeur.
“The kitchen, filled with warmth and personality, leads seamlessly into a light-filled conservatory – the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or admire the view of the mature garden beyond.
“This delightful walled garden offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of everyday life, framed by established greenery and brickwork that enhances the home’s character.
“Upstairs, the bedrooms are spacious and full of light, each with its own distinctive style, complemented by a well-appointed shower room and additional attic room ideal as a studio, creative space, or tranquil retreat.
“The layout combines period elegance with flexibility, offering a home that can adapt to modern living without losing its unique sense of identity.
“The home’s handsome stone façade, decorative window surrounds, and wrought iron gate all hint at its proud history, while the interiors tell a story of care, imagination, and individuality.
“Every detail – from the floors to the fireplaces – reflects the soul of a home that has been lovingly cherished over the years.”
