A posh countryside cottage has left house hunters scratching their heads after eagle-eyed viewers spotted a toilet sitting in the middle of the study.
The unusual feature has become the talking point of Manor Cottage – an otherwise picture-perfect five-bedroom home packed with charm and character.
The property stretches across almost 2,000 sq ft and is tucked away behind mature hedging in the Somerset countryside.
Inside, it boasts a farmhouse kitchen, cosy reception rooms, log-burning stoves and even a luxurious roll-top bath.
But it’s the downstairs study that’s got people talking.
Photos of the property show a fully functioning loo positioned beneath a window just inches from a wooden desk and workspace, as reported by Luxury Property News.
The unusual setup quickly caught the attention of viewers online.
One person said: “I admire the audacity of it.
“Also it is rather convenient.
“Also kudos for the estate agent to get straight to it in pictures.
“Own the shame.”
Another person said: “What is wrong with these people!
“Is this a British thing?
“I am so ashamed if it is.”
Aside from the eyebrow-raising office arrangement, the rest of the property is far more conventional.
The ground floor centres around a welcoming entrance hall leading to a spacious sitting room complete with a stone fireplace and log-burning stove.
A second snug offers a cosy retreat, while a separate dining room provides plenty of space for family meals and entertaining.
To the rear is a farmhouse-style kitchen fitted with painted shaker units, oak worktops and open timber shelving.
The kitchen connects to the dining room, utility room and a large conservatory.
Wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glazing on three sides, the conservatory is currently used as an informal dining and living space.
The study completes the downstairs accommodation, complete with its unexpected toilet.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom features sloping ceilings, an en suite shower room and a Juliet balcony overlooking the surrounding countryside.
There are also two further double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a spacious family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath.
Outside, the gardens have been carefully landscaped and include a broad stone terrace, sweeping lawns, colourful borders and a timber summerhouse.
A gravel driveway, detached garage and covered carport complete the package.
The cottage sits in the heart of Winford village in Somerset, enjoying views across the Chew Valley and towards the North Mendip Hills.
The property is being marketed by Robin King Estate Agents with a guide price of £650,000.
