A five-bedroom house in Portsmouth has gone up for sale for £700,000, but there’s a catch which has left house-hunters stunned.
The Victorian semi-detached property is located on the south coast of England located in Southsea, Hampshire.
Initially, the house seems very appealing for house-hunters as it boasts five Double Bedrooms as well as two En-Suites.
The now-sold property also features a basement which was previously used as a games room as well as a large south-facing garden as well as off-road parking.
However, one element will come as quite a shock, the bedroom also contains an open plan bathroom, fit with a bath, a shower and a toilet situated next to the bed without any privacy.
Upon first view, this is an attractive property, located just a stone’s throw away from the Southsea beach and near some of Portsmouth’s most desirable areas and commodities.

The Victorian family home has large bay windows as well as a spacious front garden.
Internally, the house has a welcoming living room space with a fireplace and an array of natural light that penetrates through the bay windows.
The property also has a modern, black-and-white marble kitchen which backs onto the sizable inner-city garden.
Everything about the property appears to be as expected, except for the master bedroom.
The master bedroom is highlighted by the wooden laminated floor which is complimented by the matching wooden cabinets and drawers and even has a black chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
However, the generously sized room also features a literal open plan bathroom, with a bath designated on one side of the bed, overlooking the window whilst on the other is a fully operational bathroom.
The bathroom elements are raised from the wooden surface by a grey tiling which contains a sink, shower, towel rack and toilet.
Despite the toilet having a very small dividing wall from the view of the bed, there is not any sign of privacy with the toilet remaining just several feet from the bedframe.
Additionally, nothing is hiding the modesty of the person in the shower if the bed is also occupied.

One user shared a picture of the bedroom come-bathroom and added: ‘Why, yes, I do love to watch my husband poo while I’m in bed.’
Another wrote: ‘It’s more a bed in the toilet than a toilet in the bedroom though.’
One user replied: ‘Why does it have a little stage for the s****er / shower? You’re telling me that this doesn’t splash at all onto the wooden floor!
‘If they just put up walls to make it an en suite then it would be fine.’
Another responded writing: ‘I have recurring dreams just like this.
‘Desperate for the toilet but the only one I can find is on a stage with an audience.’
A fifth user said: ‘Even if I lived alone, I wouldn’t want to poop in that toilet. It’s so…..exposed’
A final user joked: ‘That’s just guaranteed divorce material right there.
‘I knew I shouldn’t have had the Goat Jalfrezi darling…’
