While bizarrely patterned wallpapers and furniture were a staple of many British homes, the interior and exterior of this bungalow may make it one of the strangest of its kind in the UK.
A bungalow available to buy for £285,000, located in Bethesda, Gwynedd, in north Wales, featured some odd furniture inside, complete with a scarcely believable external extension that would not look out of place in a low-budget sci-fi film.
Entering the property from the front entrance may make it seem like just another property in need of some time, effort and funding to restore it into better condition, but the quirky nature of it immediately becomes apparent upon entering.
Photos of the lounge to the left of the entrance hall show garishly patterned wallpaper, with blue and yellow striped sofas and a carpet containing dark green flowers.
The theme of antiquated décor continues in the dining room, where flowery white wallpaper – which matches the room’s curtains – contrasts with blotchy black and yellow carpet.

The exterior of the property looks normal at first glance, but a spaceship-like extension proves otherwise
No respite is found in the bedroom, that contains a ceiling painted in pink with yet more eccentric wallpapering.
While there is the promise of what is described by Rightmove as ‘a large garden plot’, this is extremely overgrown in parts and would require a significant effort to clear.
The most noteworthy feature of this property – which is by no means short on quirky features – comes from its extension, which looks ready to launch into outer space.
The structure, which is held up from the ground by two long metal rods, features four windows and is covered in brickwork towards the top, with its own roof.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, to comment on the design of the house, an urban planning account wrote: ”Business in the front, one hell of a party in the back!’
Surprised by the state of the property, other users were quick to voice their shock.
One user wrote: ‘Unusual detached property’ is one of the biggest understatements I’ve ever read’.
A second remarked: ‘Career home inspector here. Have inspected over 50,000 homes in 10 states. Can say for sure I have never seen a frame mansard addition on 4×4 metal stilts.’
A third said: ‘What was the brief? It’s so monstrously bad I’m slightly impressed’.
A fourth added: ‘That interior! If someone has lost the 1970s, we found it for you.’
It comes after owners of a ‘disgusting’ £2m newbuild mansionsaw their property compared to a ‘soulless’ office block.

The house in Taverham, near Norwich, boasts seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a bar and game room and even a nightclub in the garden.
But critics have slammed the modern property, currently up for sale as part of two homes on the same site, comparing it to an ‘airport lounge’ and said the drive looked more ‘like a car park’.
On an urban planning website on X, formerly Twitter, one wrote: ‘It’s probably the most disgusting house I have ever seen – so sterile, no heart’.
While a neighbour told MailOnline: ‘It looks like posh council offices. Luckily the gates are closed and locked most of the time so you don’t have to see it as you go by.’
