Normal-looking 3-bed house leaves people horrified by what's hiding in the back garden – as people cry ‘it must stink'
FROM the outside, this semi-detached house for sale in County Durham doesn't look too out of the ordinary.
However, people have been left grossed out at the photo of the back garden of this £130,000 property.

While the three-bedroom pad has a walled garden with turf, it's the upkeep that has left internet viewers scratching their heads.
The photo, which was featured on the listing page, showed the garden appearing to be completely covered in dog poo.
The pooch in question was also in the shot, and it seemed like a lot of cleaning would need to take place to restore the faux grass.
According to the listing: 'The well-kept home features 3 bedrooms, three-piece bathroom, spacious lounge, kitchen and rear garden space.'
The image has since been deleted from the site, but not before TikTok users had screenshotted it and shared their amazement.
The @housinghorrors account wrote on a video which has nearly 970,000 views: 'I've never seen so much dog poop in my life.'
Zooming in on the dog, he wrote: 'There is the culprit.
'He's actually pretty cute, it's not his fault. The owners have obviously not cleaned up after him.'
Many people were shocked at the sight, with one saying: 'It's plastic grass too, that will absolutely stink.'
Another added: 'Poor neighbours.'

And a third commented: 'The estate agent probably gave them fair warning to clean it up before going to take pictures.'
And one joked: 'The dog showcasing his artwork.'
Aside from the poop, the home is said to have 'valuable amenities in close proximity' and offers 'rewarding rental returns.'
INCREASE YOUR HOME'S VALUE
The Sun spoke to Jonathan Rolande, property expert from the National Association of Property Buyers, who offered his top tip for selling your home - and it involves buying flowers and plants.
Sourcing up your space with some greenery will not only make it look better, but can also increase the value of your home by thousands of pounds.
Jonathan said: "You can spend about £200 on plants, and they can change the look of a room and make it feel fresh and bright.

"And you can take them with you afterwards.
"It increases the saleability. You buy some nice plants, clean the rooms and the estate agent photos will look a lot better.
"This means you get more people looking around, more competition, and you can barter the price more.'
Employing Jonathan's tip could see you see you boost your sale price by roughly £2,800, all for minimal investment.
Jonathan added: "People buy into the dream of a house, the idea that you could move yourself in there.
"You can't put a price on that. That's what sells the property.'
