Decorating your home always comes with some risk as personal style can clash with buyers' wants, meaning your property might be sat on the market for ages as you struggle to sell.
However, houses with distinct looks can grab attention and are set apart from your average gaff. If the right buyer comes along your heavily stylised abode might be just the thing they are looking for.
This unassuming bungalow in Greater Manchester is the talk of the town thanks to the owner's striking colour choice. The property is painted completely black, inside and out, with matching 'gothic' furniture and decorations.

Every single wall and floor in the renovated bungalow is painted jet black while the tables, chairs and even the toilet are all co-ordinating black and grey. Even the children's room continues the black theme, broken up by white furniture and some brightly coloured toys.
For anyone with a gothic style or who wants to totally renovate a place, this three-bed is on the market for £350,000 and is surprisingly spacious thanks to extensions.
The bungalow's ground floor has an entrance porch, a hallway with a large lounge and fitted kitchen, which opens up via a breakfast bar to the dining room. Bedrooms are also on this floor with three doubles, as well as a three piece bathroom and utility completing the bungalow.
Fans of the look will be thrilled to know there is also an attic which has been converted into another bedroom with a dressing room and bathroom.
Even the bedrooms are black with black bedding too (Zoopla / Miller Metcalfe)While the furniture isn't staying, the gothic look is completed with a black panther statue in the dining room and skulls on the walls, both in wallpaper and actual decorations.
Thankfully, for anyone hoping to redecorate, the fitted kitchen units are white so if all black decoration isn't the buyer's thing, they won't need to rip out the entire kitchen area.
The bungalow is set behind electric gates with a driveway and detached outbuildings that are currently used as an office and a gym. You can see some brightly coloured equipment visible in the pictures - although the building is still totally black.
Every room is covered with black, including doors and furniture (Zoopla / Miller Metcalfe)Estate agents Miller Metcalfe said: "Situated within a generous private gated plot, this superb home has been significantly extended and offers exceptionally well-proportioned living space that must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
"The location is within easy access to many local shops and amenities and is well placed for renowned primary and secondary schooling.
"Rarely do homes of this type remain on the market for long and as such, an early internal viewing is strongly advised to avoid disappointment."
