A five-bedroom house has left prospective buyers in hysterics after they spotted carpet on the walls.

House hunters were stunned by the £850,000 property, located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, for its choice of decorative features. The semi-detached home, which looks ordinary from the outside, has "green shag carpet" on the floor but also on the walls.

The property, which is listed by Quicklister estate agents, is described as "stylish" and "contemporary". And whilst it seems like the wallpaper was swapped out for leftover carpet, there is no mention of the bizarre aesthetic. But apart from that, the huge home offers a modern kitchen diner and a utility room to the side. It also consists of four bedrooms on the first floor, with the biggest one being situated in a converted loft with its own en-suite.

The back garden also has a stylish patio area. But it is the living room of the property which steals the show due to its four green walls. One house hunter said: "If I bought this house I wouldn't be able to stop stroking these green shag carpet walls." The home is being sold by Quicklister estate agents and advertised on Rightmove. The listing makes no mention of the unusual wall coverings in the living room.

The entrance hall opens into the sitting room and a handmade open-plan kitchen with integrated appliances and a walk-in pantry.
