This three-bedroom detached house in Bucknall, Stoke-on-Trent, might look like any other on first glance – but wait ’til you see inside.

The home, on sale for £400,000, has been left untouched for decades, meaning the interiors are a little… dated.

Or, to put it bluntly, the inside of the house is straight out of the 1970s.

You’ll either love it or hate it, depending on your preferences regarding carpets.

Photos show an incredible plaid carpet throughout the kitchen, green carpets in the living area, and floral-patterned floors leading up to the staircase.

If colourful floors aren’t enough for you, have no fear – there’s plenty of colour on the walls, too, which pair well with the classic brown wood ceilings.

An utterly bizarre property in desperate need of being brought into the future has gone up for sale complete with 70s garish decor and an outside spiral staircase. See SWNS story SWMDhouse. The three-bedroom detached home is currently on the market for a staggering ??400,000 with plenty of cosmetic work needed to bring it into the 21st century. The former family home in Gaskell Road, Bucknall, Stoke-on-Trent comes complete with a games room, huge garage space and stained glass windows throughout. But buyers will have to look beyond the unfashionable outdated decor, patterned colourful carpets and brown wooden ceilings in a house that transports you straight back to the 1970s.

The snooker room is pretty special, with pub-esque carpet and dated wallpaper.

And the bathroom is pure 70s: carpeted, wallpapered, and with matching brown bathtub, toilet, and sink.

The house, on Gaskell Road, has been attracting some interest since it was listed on Purple Bricks.

Some have loved the nostalgia of the decor, while others have commented that the asking price might be a bit steep considering how much renovation work may be required.

Personally, we’d vote for keeping it as is. Why destroy such a glorious tribute to the past?

The unique property is being advertised for those with prestigious cars and labelled as the perfect place for ‘having a great time with the boys playing snooker’.

It features a spacious driveway and a large garden including an unusual spiral staircase attached to a roof terrace leading to the rear of the property.
