Amazing Dorset home could be yours for £300,000 – and it hides a very holy secret
THIS rather plain-looking home hides a picturesque interior – and it could be yours for just £300,000.
The terraced semi-Roman home in Christchurch, Dorset, was listed on the market just two days ago and the living room has echoes of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican.
The large living room takes up over half of the downstairs and its main feature is a detailed ceiling painting that depicts angels flying and sitting on clouds.
The depiction is bordered with round gold and blue trim with various patterns.
A bust of a woman stands tall at the back of the room, while gold trimmed patterned chairs and couches are positioned next to the light blue walls.
There is a marble coffee table that sits on an old-fashioned royal-looking carpet whilst a large gold rimmed mirror hangs on the back wall.

Breaking the Roman theme, there is a flat screen TV hung from the wall and a guitar amplifier resting on one of the chairs.
Leaving the lavish room, the rest of the house appears to be far more common.
The kitchen is of a good size and has a double glass door that leads to the garden.
Two of the three bedrooms are of good size and can comfortably accommodate double beds, while the third room could only fit a single bed.
