Look inside the Leeds 'Candlestick House' with incredible features

You could live inside one of Leeds most unique homes as apartments are still up for sale.

Candle House is one of Leeds most prestigious buildings and is completely curved.

It is know to locals as Candlestick House who say it is a bit like Marmite with flats that boggle your mind inside.

You either love the misaligned windows, and the strange circular shape with 20 floors, or you'll detest the bizarre architecture at the building based at Granary Wharf.

With every fifth floor, the windows move a little further to the left, alongside the balconies, leaving the image of a candlestick.

The windows could even be viewed as wax trickling down the sides.

Inside, it's an even more confusing affair.

Residents have said that the interior is deceptive.

Rooms can appear bigger than they actually are, whilst others seem smaller than they actually are.

Due to the circular design, space has been maximised due to clever angling of the units.

Think of a kitchen with its many different cupboards and appliances - angled just right, there is more space than you'd expect.

The residents claim to think of it as like a little slice of pie.

The opening ends are wide and spacious but as you go further in, furniture has to adapt to the converging walls.

The opening ends are of course, the sides looking out onto the wharf, where Candle House is situated.

The large walls this end come in handy as it allows wide, long windows.

With light bursting in, the rooms look airy and bright.

If you live near the top, you're in for an incredible view.

Wharf Approach overlooks the canal boats and the newly revamped Granary Wharf is popular as a new little village.
