Three-bedroom detached house on sale for £199k has a very unusual feature in the living room

A three-bedroom house has just gone on sale - but potential viewers will face a shock when they take a look at the living room.
At first glance, this home in Bridgend seems like a typical detached property, boasting three floors and a garage on the side.
And in the current economy snapping up the spacious house for £199,950 is a deal many buyers would think about making.
On closer inspection, however, it has a very unusual feature that might not float everybody's boat.
Embracing the area's proximity to the sea, this homeowner has hung an eight-foot shark on the wall.
Taking to TikTok, @HousingHorrors took a peek at the terrifying interior decoration centrepiece, which boasts a blue and white design to match the walls.
The detailed animal bust complements the old-fashioned diving suit which tops a bookcase in the room, but clashes sharply with an equally bizarre red model car.
'This is the b****y eight-foot shark. What the b****y hell are the owners thinking,' the TikToker said.
'Here's another angle of it and I need to zoom in. That is absolutely b****y huge, and not only that but there's also a photo of them, I'm assuming, diving.
'But also there's this weird car on the side here. I've never seen anything quite like this.
'It looks like there's some random figure with a bear on the side of it. Now, it's kind of cool, I don't mind it that much, but it is very very unusual.
'I suppose it's unique you could say.'
The social media personality then pointed out that the model shark and accompanying retro car looked out of place alongside the relatively normal features of the rest of the house.
But, in conclusion, the TikToker praised the mercurial design technique and at one point even joked, 'take my money'.
He added: 'It's safe to say the absolute icing on the cake is definitely the eight-foot shark in the living room.
'I'd be interested to know what it's actually made of. I'm assuming it's fibre glass, I may be wrong, maybe plastic, but let me know what you guys think.'
The rest of the living room consisted of a leather sofa and a circular mirror above a wood-burning stove.
In another room, two leather chairs were decorated with tartan upholstery and a large portrait over another fireplace.
One bedroom has been given a flash of colour by some olive green wall paint, while another features an unusual wooden four-poster frame.
The property is described as dating back to the 1800s and being close to the M4 corridor.
It lies on Cefn Glas Road in the Newcastle Hill area of the Welsh town and also boasts a garden.
