Rightmove house worth £1.3m leaves potential buyers feeling 'ill' after they see pictures inside

Finding the perfect house can be a nightmare, with everyone accepting they'll have to make a few compromises somewhere.

But one house has got potential house buyers stunned and confused, all because of one key feature.

The five-bedroom detached home in Middlesex has gone on the market for a cool £1.3m, promising a family-friendly location, bright spaces and a conservatory leading to a patio area and spacious garden behind.

But one potential home owner spotted an issue and shared it on Twitter - where it went viral - reports Mirror Online.

Toby Davies wrote: "Thinking about buying this house , but I'm not sure it has enough plug sockets."

As photos of the home move from the stunning exterior, to the dreamy kitchen and then to the living area, Toby's sarcastic concerns become very apparent.

Every wall appears to be absolutely plastered in sockets. Sockets stacked on top of one another, sockets halfway up the walls and sockets running underneath the windows.

But the online description fails to address quite why there are so many sockets.

With the owners clearly having never laid eyes on a multi-plug adapter, people were left completely baffled as to what all the outlets were possibly used for and commented in their droves on social media.

Tom Worsley said: "That genuinely makes me feel ill."

Ben Ellis said: "Was this an electrician’s training centre at one point?"

@curiousiguana said: "What are the bills like?" "About £120 a month. Unless you use all the sockets. Then it's £850."

Peter B said: "I thought you were exaggerating a little until I got to picture 6 (5/20 of course). Then it descended into madness, and the uplighters on the skylights had me howling (picture 11).

"But the best thing is that there doesn't appear to be a shaver socket in any of the bathrooms."

But for those who can get past the sockets it could be the perfect property, offering three bathrooms, a garage and a lovely breakfast bar.
