$1.3m beach house has creepy bathroom secret
Located in the seaside town of St Leonards-on-Sea near Hastings, East Sussex, the four-storey property has hit the market for $US885,000 ($A1.3 million).
It features multiple living rooms, two kitchens and three baths.
But one of those lavatories stands apart — outfitted with stark tile, exposed plumbing, and a steel cabinet beneath a rusting mirror, a sign posted on the wall warns, 'Cell alarm system not in operation', the New York Post reports.
The shower, which looks like it belongs in a prison, is located just off the main room.
While the property's listing does not directly mention the unconventional design, it describes the home more broadly as 'offering incredible potential for families, investors, or those seeking a unique development opportunity'.
The residence includes a ground-floor dining room, a utility room, and multiple bedrooms across all levels.
One of the bathrooms is noted as a space that would 'benefit from refurbishment'.
The property is currently being marketed by Leadenhall Estates.
The listing frames the home as a balance of period charm and renovation opportunity, stating: 'Set over four generous floors, the property combines charming character features with areas in need of modernisation — making it ideal for customisation to suit your lifestyle or vision.'

Young Aussie ditches Sydney, moves to outback Queensland for ‘financial gap year'
A young Australian has revealed the moment he decided to embark on a 'financial gap year', leaving behind his corporate job in Sydney and moving to outback Queensland. A month ago, Tim Abbott was living a life many young professionals could relate to. He had built a career in the digital marketing space, having worked his way up in the industry over the past 10 years, and was earning what many would consider 'good money'. He was renting a room in a share house and even managed to break into the property market, buying an apartment that he leased out. The 31-year-old had no credit card debt, no car loan and no student debt. On paper, Mr Abbott should have been well on his way to financial freedom. But the reality was quite different. While he was earning a six-figure salary, his wage was not growing fast enough to keep up with the rising cost of living. He got to the point where he realised his money 'used to go so much further', but things had started to stall. 'I just feel like everyone is feeling a pinch, and everyone's tightening up in order to either save for their future or just to get by,' he told 'It's a conversation that's being had by everyone. I don't know anyone who's not talking about this at the moment.' Over a three-year period, his rent had doubled, seeing him fork out $600 a week, not including energy, water or internet bills. Mr Abbott calculated that he was spending close to $40,000 a year on rent. Even his investment property, which he thought would be his 'golden ticket' to growing his finances, wasn't turning out the way he envisioned. He was being stung with brutal strata fees and the money he was receiving in rent wasn't enough to cover his mortgage repayments. Eventually, Mr Abbott asked himself, 'why am I putting all this time and energy into a life I ultimately don't want?' So, he decided to make a change. His friend lives and works on a property in rural Queensland and mentioned there was a position available helping out on the farm. The 31-year-old quit his job, packed up his life and moved almost 13 hours away, going from the hustle and bustle of city life to living and working on a farm about 570km west of Brisbane, where the closest town has 500 residents. Mr Abbott is just over a month in to his new life and he is already shocked by how much money he has saved. He is working more and, as a result, his salary is slightly higher than what he was earning in Sydney, but he says the real game changer has been his cost of living expenses, which he estimates have decreased by 75 to 80 per cent. 'It's a very different lifestyle. It's not so much the money you make, but also the money you save, because there's nowhere to spend it,' he said. 'You're not getting two coffees a day, you're not going out for lunch, you're not ordering Uber Eats, so the money that comes into my account stays there. 'It just feels like a bit of a parallel universe. It feels like a cheat code, almost.' His accommodation costs are all baked into his work contract, so last month he spent a total of $220, which was the cost of his groceries. 'It costs that much to breathe (in Sydney). It's crazy,' Mr Abbott said. For anyone considering a sea change, the young Aussie can't recommend rural living enough, noting 'there's a lot of work out here'. 'If you don't mind peace and quiet, or that sort of living, I highly endorse it,' he said. Mr Abbott's goal for his financial gap year is to save $100,000, which he feels confident he will be able to achieve. Eventually, he hopes to be able to buy his own home with a hobby farm 'somewhere warm', but, at the moment, he isn't in a huge rush. 'I could have never imagined in my wildest dreams that I'd be driving a tractor or living where I'm living. So, who knows what the future holds?' he said. 'But I do know that I wasn't going to be able to achieve this if the money that was coming in was going immediately out.'

‘Bought our first place together in a panic': Rate cut fear making Aussies scramble
My partner and I just bought our first place together in a panic because we were desperate to get into the market before interest rates were announced today. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has cut interest rates twice this year already, first in February, then in May, and today it announced the rates have been sliced from 3.85 to 3.6 per cent. It's great news for mortgage holders, but I truly believe if we didn't buy before today, we would have been screwed. Buying in Sydney isn't just hard, it is 'full on war', as one of my close friends put it. It is expensive, competitive and anxiety-inducing. I'm 99 per cent sure it gave me reflux. My boyfriend and I had been searching for months before we finally bought a place and nothing about the journey was easy, or even remotely pleasant. It was downright awful at some points because we couldn't agree on anything. To add insult to injury, while we were arguing over what kind of place to buy, property prices were increasing. boyfriend thinks every apartment in Sydney is too small, but he wouldn't say that, he'd say he just wanted to buy a reasonably sized apartment. We came across some bigger apartments that he liked, but I vetoed them because I believed in my soul that they 'lacked a vibe,' which he claims isn't a legitimate reason. I like places with character because I have a vision, but he's better at pointing out flaws. He rudely (perhaps correctly) doesn't believe I can fix everything just by watching DIY videos on TikTok. Finding a place we both wanted to buy was tough and I've cried actual tears of frustration at different points, while he has done a lot of sad man sighing. During our property search we inspected hundreds of apartments and agreed on trying to buy a mere three. Then all three times we were outbid. That whole, third time is the charm thing, certainly isn't something I believe in anymore. To add to the stress of buying throughout this year we've watched in horror as prices in Sydney have risen. According to Property Update, Sydney property values have increased by 6.5 per cent. To put that in perspective, we were looking to spend around $1 million, so that 6 per cent for us equals around $60,000. We've noticed it too; places that might have sold for around $950,000 a few months ago are now easily selling for over a million. There have definitely been times when we've both worried we're getting dangerously close to being locked out of the market. We were both selfishly relieved last month when the Reserve Bank shocked everyone and announced that the cash rate held at 3.85 per cent. The RBA have delivered two rat cuts in 2025 and each time the property market has risen accordingly and as property hunters it was always brutal. Rate cuts seem small, but lots of people we made small talk with at inspections discussed their belief 'rates were going to trend down,' and a small cut can have a massive impact on an already brutal market. The fact that rates held steady in July made me even more serious about trying to buy before the rates were announced today. The rate slashing that happened today was always our fear, because the market will now get an influx of new buyers. It will push up prices further, which could have pushed us out of the market. For every mortgage holder who gets relief, it screws over someone trying to buy. In the last month, I was trolling real estate listings like it was my full-time job, and thankfully, we found an apartment we both loved, and it is the one we ended up buying. It had everything we wanted. Two bedrooms, a small outdoor area, and a great location in a character-filled building. It was our dream place and I was desperate to seal the deal. I feared that if we didn't, once rates were announced today, prices would go up again, and we wouldn't just miss out on the apartment, but we'd not be able to buy something similar. I don't think we did anything radically different from the last time we tried to purchase places. I think we were just lucky; it got passed in at auction, and then we made an offer. Someone else also made an offer, but we were able to counter it, and we bought the place for just over $1 million, Our mindset was different though, because we were both really certain we wanted to buy something before interest rates were announced. The fact that we've managed to do this has made me feel so much calmer. Craig McDonald, director of CBM Mortgages told that he has seen potential buyers like myself panic as rates day approaches. 'People are ramping it up. There have been a few people who have even increased their pre-approval amount in terms of the purchase price. Just in order to snatch that property,' he said. Mr McDonald argued that while no one can ever predict what the market will do, in general, when 'rates go down, property prices will increase', so he understands why people are keen to buy. The mortgage expert said the panic surrounding interest rates has certainly been good for his business, and he can see that demand is likely set to increase. 'There's been an increase in inquiries from first home buyers, they're believing there could be a couple more drops to bring down those repayments and believing it is a good time to jump in the market,' he said.

Rate cut could trigger buying boom
The Reserve Bank of Australia's decision to cut the cash rate for the third time this year is set to ignite the spring property market, but experts warn it's bad news for those trying to break into the housing market. The cut, which brings the cash rate down to 3.60 per cent, is expected to unleash a wave of buyer activity, driving up competition and potentially pushing prices even higher. New data already reveals a surge in home loan pre-approvals, indicating buyers were betting on a rate cut and are now poised to flood the market. Loan Market reported a massive 53 per cent jump in pre-approvals during July compared to last year, as buyers scramble to secure finance amid dwindling housing stock. Across the states, SA and the NT are leading the charge with pre-approvals up 80 per cent. In WA, pre-approvals are up 79 per cent and 49 per cent in NSW and the ACT. Queensland records pre-approval rates of 48 per cent, while 46 per cent of homeowners in VIC and TAS are ahead of the game. This spike in pre-approvals comes amid already tight stock levels. Ray White data shows new listings are down 14.2 per cent compared to this time last year, adding further pressure to an already competitive market. David McQueen, CEO of Loan Market, said buyers are looking for every advantage they can get. 'Market listings are sitting at a three-year low, which is making it tough for buyers,' he said. 'They're looking for every edge and that starts with knowing exactly what they can borrow and afford to repay. Buyers want to walk into an auction with confidence or put forward strong private treaty terms that help them stand out.' Experts weigh in In this month's Finder RBA Cash Rate Survey, almost all experts (91 per cent) correctly predicted the RBA's move. Graham Cooke, head of consumer research at Finder, said all eyes are now on the banks to pass on the savings to customers. 'Following recent rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of Australia, lenders are under immense pressure to pass the savings on to customers. So far, most have passed on the cuts in full.' Cooke also cautioned that lenders might start to pull back on the size of future rate cuts as more are predicted. He urged homeowners to review their home loans, stating, 'If your current mortgage rate is higher than 5.5 per cent, you may be able to find a better deal.' MORE NEWS: 'Strict': New pet ownership law sweeps Aus Affordability boost Finder analysis reveals the suburbs where house and unit values are now affordable following the three rate cuts. The average single Australian can now feasibly afford a place for $570,000 or less, and the average Australian household with two incomes can look at suburbs where average prices are under $1,167,000. Following the rate cuts, the median house in Wyndham Vale and Wodonga in Victoria is now affordable for the average Australian. For a couple with two average incomes, a house in Coburg is now affordable in Victoria. In New South Wales, a couple with two average incomes can now afford a house in Oran Park, Marsden Park, Glenmore Park, and Leppington. Shock salary you now need to buy a home Following three rate cuts from the RBA, the average Aussie on a single income can now afford a house in Kirwan in Queensland. The average Aussie on a single income in Western Australia can now afford a house in suburbs including Armadale and Mandurah. When it comes to units, the average Australian on a single income can now afford suburbs in Bankstown, Penrith, and Auburn in New South Wales, and South Yarra and Brunswick in Victoria. Australian couples with two incomes can now afford a unit in suburbs including Chatswood, St Leonards, Pyrmont, and Maroubra in New South Wales, and Burleigh Heads in the increased affordability, Cooke warned that increased market activity could drive up prices and deposit requirements, potentially negating the benefits of cheaper repayments. 'Even with a lower rate, you'll still need a hefty deposit. If lower borrowing costs drive increased market activity – as they have in the past – rising property prices and higher deposit requirements could ultimately outweigh the benefit of cheaper repayments.'
