The stairs, floors, as well as most of the ceilings and walls are black too.

Even the kitchen fridge and bathroom are the same shade.

The only variations are dark purple accents - such as curtains, feature walls and sofa cushions, making it a strong contender for the title of the UK's darkest home.

The listing for the three-bedroom semi-detached home describes "a spacious living area, and roomy kitchen" as well as "additional storage with a good-sized shed and large garage".

While neighbours remain unimpressed, Mike calls it a "quirky but solid investment".
