The dream house for sale on Rightmove with a feature that's left everyone completely baffled

This detached £1.3million house for sale on Rightmove would be anyone's dream home.

With five bedrooms and three bathrooms, a garage and a large garden, it's perfect for a family, with bright and spacious rooms and bay windows filling it with natural light.

It's got a gorgeous kitchen with integrated appliances, a breakfast bar, tiled flooring, spot lights, double doors leading to the conservatory and Velux windows allowing additional light to flood in. 

And to top it all off, it's in a family-friendly area with lots of schools nearby.

It all looks and sounds absolutely ideal, even if you'll need to be on a very good wage, or have plenty of money in the bank, to be able to buy it. The house, near Harrow in Middlesex, is on the market with Andrew Pearce Property Consultants and is listed on Rightmove .

But there's one aspect of this beautiful home that's leaving everyone mystified and you'll probably be quickly able to spot it in the pictures below.

Yep, there's a frankly astonishing number of power sockets. And it's not gone unnoticed, with people who've viewed the house online taking to Twitter to query it, as reported by The Mirror .

In one post, which has been retweeted close to 2,000 times, Toby Davies writes: "Thinking about buying this house, but I'm not sure it has enough plug sockets."

And plenty of others have chipped in too.

So many walls appear to be absolutely plastered in sockets. Sockets stacked on top of one another, sockets halfway up the walls and sockets running underneath the windows.

So. Many. Sockets. And people have been left completely baffled as to what all the outlets were possibly used for.

Questions include 'were they running the CIA from the front room?' and 'was this an electrician's training centre at one point?'.

Another joked the last electricity bill was £1,452,092 for the quarter. The online description fails to address quite why there are so many sockets. Go here to see inside the cheapest homes for sale in Wales right now .
