The home, located in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, was originally listed for £200,000—but it wasn't the price that had people doing double takes.

The property, located just minutes from Kings Mill Hospital and close to shops, schools, and transport links, features two double bedrooms, one bathroom, a spacious lounge with bay window, kitchen, utility area, conservatory, and solid oak flooring throughout.
TikToker @ellesehome shared a clip of the quirky property, captioning it: 'Whose Nan's house is this and why has she got Tutankhamuns tomb in the kitchen???'
Images from the listing showed golden statues, hieroglyphs, ancient-style murals and even a sarcophagus-style cabinet that had people flooding the comments section in disbelief.
One user wrote: 'When I start playing Animal Crossing and put the random gifts my villagers give me in my house to fill space.'
Another questioned: 'Better question where's the fridge?'
A third chimed in: 'The most shocking part is the house's price.'
Someone else cheekily defended the design: 'God forbid a woman likes a bit of archaeology.'
Despite the eccentric interior, the home eventually sold for £145,000.
But this isn't the only property recently to leave Brits scratching their heads.
In Rhyl, a perfectly normal-looking terraced house turned heads with an unexpected interior twist, featuring secret design elements that left even estate agents stunned.
Meanwhile in West Lothian, a home dubbed ' Britain's darkest house' hit the market for £195,000.
The entire property — walls, floors, ceilings, doors, decking and even the shed — was painted black, both inside and out.
Then there's the skinny slice of living in west London, one of the UK's narrowest homes, squeezed between a clinic and salon.
The five-storey property was recently listed for rent at £2,950 a month, despite only being just over six feet wide in places.
Over in Hastings, a Victorian house gave house-hunters the creeps with its gothic interior.
Priced at nearly £900,000, it featured eerie green walls, faun statues lifting children carved into fireplaces, and thunderbox toilets.
And if you fancy going completely off the grid, you could head to Kinver Edge in Staffordshire, where homes are literally carved into sandstone cliffs.
These cave dwellings, once fully inhabited, are now a National Trust attraction — though they're a reminder that the UK has long had a love affair with unusual homes.
