This house looks normal from outside… but the living room will shock you

A house in Birmingham is getting a lot of attention for a strange reason. From the outside, it looks like a normal suburban home. But when you go inside, there is something really unexpected. A full bathtub is sitting right in the living room. This unusual feature has made people curious and started conversations among homebuyers and locals.

A lounge unlike any other

As reported by The Sun, the property is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace home located on Torridon Croft in Moseley, listed for £260,000. While it could do with some modernisation, the house is described as a blank canvas, giving buyers the chance to personalise it.

On the ground floor, the house has a hallway, kitchen, utility room, and a conservatory overlooking an overgrown garden. Upstairs, there are two good-sized bedrooms, a smaller box room, and a traditional bathroom. But it is the lounge that stands out most.

According to the report, a large white bathtub sits next to the fireplace, complete with splashback tiles and a shower screen. The unusual placement has left people puzzled and intrigued.

What locals are saying

Harriet Jones said: “Given there’s a bath in the living room, I sort of expected there not to be a dedicated bathroom in the property. But no, there’s one too. I’m so confused about this property and why to be honest.”

As quoted in The Sun report, another visitor noted the casual way the feature was listed: “Just casually mentioned in the description like it’s not hugely weird. Flooring, log burner, completely unnecessary bath, doors to…”

A longtime local added: “My aunt lived on that road in the 70s. She did not, however, have a bath in the living room.”

Key details about the home

As mentioned in the report, the listing describes the house as a “lovely three bedroom end of terrace home located in this lovely, leafy cul-de-sac off Russell Road in Moseley. Offering excellent access to all of the nearby amenities including the city centre, Moseley Village, Cannon Hill Park, QE Hospital and upcoming Moseley Train Station.”

The property is sold with no upward chain and offers panoramic views of the local allotments and Birmingham city centre in the distance.

Inside, the lounge features two ceiling light points, coving on the ceiling, two central heating radiators, double-glazed windows, and sliding patio doors, along with the striking bathtub.

A quirky addition that stirs conversation

While a bathtub in the living room is unusual, the home otherwise provides all the features expected in a suburban family property. This unique addition has made the house a talking point in Moseley and beyond, attracting curiosity and attention from potential buyers and locals.
