Coastal bungalow hits the market for £275k - boasting two bedrooms, sea views and what eagle-eyed buyers have dubbed a spooky surprise... can YOU see it?
A two-bedroom home on sale in Skegness may give potential buyers a fright when they take a look in the living room.
The bungalow on North Shore Road is up for sale for £275,000 and is described as being closer to the beach than any other home in the town.
It is situated just a one-minute walk away from the beach and has a popular golf club situated behind the property.
This unique location makes the property ideal for keen golfers and couples who enjoy long walks along the beach.
Complete with a spacious sitting room, a kitchen with plenty of storage and a conservatory with sea views, the detached bungalow is an attractive offer for its price.
However, house-hunters may be put off by a bizarre ornament in the living room.
What appears to be a Halloween ornament stands against a wall, near the room's entrance, which could give buyers the fright of their life as they enter through the corridor.
The spooky statue of a grey-haired man, possibly a supernatural spirit or ghostly butler, holds roses and candles.
A similar 'Halloween Hunchback Monster Man' ornament is available to purchase online.
The figure, which lights up and also speaks spooky phrases, costs a pricey £192.
The hunchbacked man is in stark contrast to the surrounding decor, which includes a couple's landscape picture on the beach, yellow sofas and bright-coloured walls.
The rest of the house is also more unassuming, a conservatory adjacent to the lounge offers views of the sea.
The conservatory has UPVCC double glazed windows with a tiled floor, wall-mounted independent electric heaters and a light with a fan.
There is a small, low-maintenance garden at the back of the home with a raised patio and seating area to watch the sunrise from, as well as a further gated outside area ideal for parking.
Another house recently featured an unusual ornament in pictures for its listing.
A three-bedroom home in Bridgend came with an eight-foot shark displayed on the wall.
It was a confusing addition to the otherwise typical detached property.
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.
At £199,950 the house remains well priced with its three floors and a garage on the side.
Taking to TikTok, @HousingHorrors took a peek at the terrifying interior decoration centrepiece, which boasts a blue and white design to match the walls.
'This is the b****y eight-foot shark. What the b****y hell are the owners thinking,' the TikToker said.
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.

Noel Edmonds, 76, reveals the weird and wacky secrets to his surprisingly ripped physique - from 'tranquil power training' to an alkaline diet and using a 'cancer-tackling' yoga mat
Noel Edmonds has sent fans into a frenzy after showcasing his surprisingly ripped physique. The Deal Or No Deal presenter, 76, looked incredible as he showcased his muscular torso in a pair of blue patterned swimming trunks after being named Torso Of The Week by Heat magazine. And the TV star has revealed the key to his secret health regime which he calls 'Tranquil Power'. Taking to Instagram after receiving Torso Of The Week, Noel joked with followers: 'So many of you have asked how do I get the body of a 76 year old? 'Step 1: Turn 76. Step 2: Tranquil Power (see my Positivity Formula on Noel Edmonds Kiwi Adventure)' He then teased: 'If that fails bribe the lighting guy!' before falling into his outdoor pool. The TV star revealed the key to his secret health regime which he calls 'Tranquil Power' where you hold the weight and feel the muscle burn then let go (pictured on I'm A Celeb in 2018) Speaking to The Sun, Noel explained: 'The exercise I do, I call tranquil power. It's about quiet and slow. You hold it [the weight], you feel the muscle burn and then let go.' Later discussing his morning routine he added: 'I normally have a warm shower in the morning and wash it off with a cold shower. 'And then a sauna, infra red. It's proven science and very good for you.' Fans went wild for Noel's impressive physique as they exclaimed: 'Great physique, and fabulous hair. Could easily pass for 55'; 'Looking strong'; 'Looking really good, fit and healthy'; 'You've not aged in all these years, infact if anything your looking absolutely amazingly fit!!'; 'You do look incredible for your age just goes to show lifting weights does make a huge difference to your life'. Noel is also enjoying more of an outdoor lifestyle after he and his wife Liz quit the UK in 2018 to build a new life in New Zealand. The couple have now opened a hospitality business in the small rural, riverside town of Ngatimoti, which includes a vineyard, coffee cart, general store, restaurant and pub. Taking to Instagram after receiving Torso Of The Week, Noel joked with followers: 'So many of you have asked how do I get the body of a 76 year old? Fans went wild for Noel's impressive physique as they exclaimed: 'Great physique, and fabulous hair. Could easily pass for 55' And in his upcoming reality show Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure, set to launch on June 20, follows the couple as they start their life from scratch 11,500 miles away. In the past Noel has revealed he also practises meditation, exercising slowly in darkness while listening to electronic pulses for an hour a week. He also explained he lies on a £2,300 electro-magnetic mat for 15 minutes a day, which he claims helped cure his cancer. Back in 2016 Noel sparked controversy after he revealed that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and that he had 'tackled' it with his the very upmarket yoga mat. The star alleged that he had used the EMPpad, a machine which aims to stimulate 'cellular resonance' in the body, as part of a regime to cure himself from cancer that he said was caused by stress. Speaking about his experience in an interview on This Morning, Noel infuriated host Phillip Schofield, and the show's doctor, Dr Ranj Singh, who said that there is no evidence that a machine can harness the effects of positive energy. Other experts have also disputed his claims. Noel said: 'The point here is that when I found out I had prostate cancer, I went out there and started to ask as many questions as possible. 'I changed my diet, I exercised in a different way... I then had my tumour destroyed by sound waves, proving yet again energy is at the heart of this issue.' He continued: 'I was, I thought, very, very healthy. I know why I got my cancer: because I had gone through a very stressful, very negative period in my life.' Phillip asked: 'The stress in your life gave you prostate cancer?' He replied: 'Yes, because the definition of stress is negative energy. It didn't just decide to manifest itself, there was cause. 'You have cancer in you, we all have it. Something triggers it, I don't believe what you say or think triggers it, but outside forces trigger it... All I want to encourage is get the information.' Phillip gave a statement from the makers of the EMPpad, which said they did 'not agree with it (Mr Edmonds' statement) in any way, shape or form'. He replied: 'Fine, all I'm saying is, by using pulsed electromagnetism and a series of other things, I am now free of prostate cancer.' Noel added that after using the mat: 'I could see my hair was thicker, my nails were stronger, the exercise I was doing in the gym was easier and less painful.' In terms of diet, Noel is believed to avoid red meat and maintains an alkaline diet which aims to balance the pH of your body. Alkaline foods include fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, and non-starchy vegetables, rather than more acidic foods like meat, cheese, eggs, grains, and processed foods. Noel has also struggled with his mental health in the past after he confessed he tried to kill himself in January 2005. The presenter was discovered in woodland on his estate in Devon after taking handfuls of prescription pills washed down by a bottle of vodka. The TV host even recorded heartbreaking goodbye messages for his four daughters and in an interview with ITV in 2017 he confessed: 'My world imploded. And I lost my home. I went to a very dark space. 'The only way I can describe it is it is the darkest space that the human mind ever occupies. 'I wrote a letter to my now ex-wife explaining as best I could why I'd reached the end, and I recorded little dictaphone messages to my daughters, basically saying goodbye.' He said: 'The fact that I did not become another suicide statistic is solely due to the swift response of a Devon ambulance crew and the compassionate support of the Priory in Bristol.' Noel also believes in cosmic ordering after he was given a book about it by his reflexologist. He said that four of six wishes he wrote down and offered to the cosmos then came true, including his wish to front another hit show – which was Deal Or No Deal. 'You'll think I've gone away with the fairies, but its fantastic!' he said. He wrote a book, Positively Happy: Cosmic Ways To Change Your Life, in 2006. He explained: 'To me cosmic order is all about being a positive person who takes charge of your own life. 'You have to make conscious decisions to go out and make things happen for you.

British blokes have forgotten how to dress for the sun – follow these tips for a more stylish summer look
REMEMBER when we used to laugh at German blokes on holiday? You could spot them a mile off, with their mullets, vests, questionable moustaches, beer bellies and skimpy swimwear. Well, now they are laughing at us because while they discovered style, we stole their look and made it worse by adding football shirts and Crocs. Germans now cut a dash with their stylish minimalism. The French embody effortless chic. The Italians and Spanish dress with cool Latin style. We, meanwhile, have become the poorly dressed man of Europe. British men have forgotten how to dress for the sun and stock our summer wardrobes with football shirts, muscle tees, bucket hats, skinny jeans, ¾-length trackies and oversized sunglasses. Our identity crisis is a national disgrace. On Spanish beaches our kids don't bury us in the sand because it's fun. They bury us because they're embarrassed by us, like cats burying their mess. Not so long ago, summer used to be a stress-free affair for men of my age — I'm 55. On beaches we disappeared into the background, unnoticeable behind expanding midriffs and cloaks of matted body hair. We sat behind windbreaks, vests on, knotted hankies on head, trousers rolled up, reading the Racing Post. I'm a men's fashion expert - these style mistakes are ruining your look and could even damage expensive items No one expected anything of us. Women fretted about swimwear while we were allowed to gracefully surrender into middle-age spread. We only had two beach role models, Peter Stringfellow with his thong, and David Hasselhoff, who spent half the 1980s sucking in his stomach and the other half driving a talking car. But today more is expected of us. Blame social media if you want. The world has moved on. Men are expected to care more about how they dress. But in the UK it seems we didn't get the memo and while Europeans got more stylish, British blokes spun off at a tangent, like a divergent timeline in Marvel's Loki series. But you can do better. Some men try to break the mould, but get led astray trying to emulate celebrity role models. 12 12 Timothée Chalamet can get away with his cargo-shorts-socks-and-sandals ensemble because he's Timothée Chalamet — but you are not. Leave the short-shorts to Paul Mescal — because even he doesn't look good in them. And despite what the fashion mags tell you, bold matching tops and trousers do not look good on men over 25. Just look at Brad Pitt in his garish tie-dye tracksuit while out in New York City earlier this month. If a Hollywood superstar can't pull it off, you definitely can't. There are celebrity outliers, however. Take some pointers from Ryan Gosling, who makes it look easy with plain shirts and chinos, or David Beckham and his neutral bomber jacket, white T-shirt, pleated linen trousers and white trainers, or slightly more daring, Michael B Jordan in an animal print shirt with cool tonal trousers and leather shoes. Now we are re-establishing better relations with our continental brethren, it's time to smarten up our act — and the good news is, it's not hard. How do I know? Because I did it. I too was once like you, a hopeless summer fashion victim. I wore cargo shorts, West Ham footie shirts pulled over my dad-bod beer belly, and athleisure sandals. My swimwear of choice was below the knee board shorts. On one holiday to the South of France I flirted with budgie smugglers after a traumatic experience in a French open-air swimming pool where board shorts were banned. I didn't realise and was frog-marched from the pool by lifeguards who made me purchase tight trunks from a vending machine. Walking back into the pool in my tiny new Lycra swimwear was like the walk of shame in Game Of Thrones. Today a 5-inch inseam is as daring as I get (which is good style advice for any man). My fashion salvation happened after I met a younger, stylish woman, who is now my wife. Stephanie, 45, knocked me into shape and taught me how to dress. It didn't take a lot of effort and I even get compliments occasionally from my 23-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son. So, as you head off for your hols, take a few tips from me. Ditch the football shirts, no one in Mykonos cares about Burnley FC. Ditch anything with big logos on it. Wear leather sandals or espadrilles. Choose linen or seersucker short-sleeved shirts. You can't go wrong with a polo shirt and tailored shorts in neutral palettes. Replace your battered baseball cap with a Panama hat. Treat yourself to some understated sunglasses. Bodies should get some attention too. Before 2006, we could get away with a hairy dad bod, but then the film Casino Royale hit the big screen, and when Daniel Craig emerged from the sea like God chiselled from marble he ruined it for all of us. Now we're expected to look presentable in swimwear. So, get your back waxed, manscape your chest hair. Have a fake tan, but don't go mad. Ask for a light one. Get your eyebrows shaped and tinted. It's not unusual any more and makes a big difference, I promise. No one is going to think any less of you. Maybe swap a pint for a glass of rosé occasionally, or a mojito. Just a few small tweaks and the new stylish you will fit right in on beaches from the Costas to the Greek islands. Make the UK cool again, just don't mention Brexit. WHAT TO BUY NOW 12
