An unassuming three-bed home in Stanley, near Ilkeston in Derbyshire has raised a few eyebrows after going on the market for only £190,000 – as it has a massive electricity pylon in the back garden
A bargain three-bed family home has gone on the market for just £190,000 – but it has something in the garden you probably wouldn’t expect.
The semi-detached property in the village of Stanley, Derbyshire boasts a large living room, a conservatory, private off-street parking and is located in a “quiet cul-de-sac”, according to the online listing from estate agents Burchell Edwards.
Photographs meanwhile show a fully fitted kitchen and a decently-sized bathroom, with the bedrooms appearing slightly worse for wear but with plenty of potential for redecoration.
However, in the listing there is no mention what might be the real defining feature of the home – a massive electricity pylon in the back garden.
One startling picture shows garden chairs positioned just a few yards away from the massive structure, which is only partially shielded from view by wooden fences.
The full listing reads: “We at Burchell Edwards are delighted to offer to the market this semi-detached home that is looking for a new family to love.
“This home is located in the heart of Stanley village and offers great living space and will make for the perfect first time or family purchase.
“The home comprises of large lounge diner, well equipped kitchen and conservatory to the ground floor. The upstairs holds the three good size bedrooms and the family bathroom.
“To the rear is the private enclosed garden and there is private driveway parking to the front. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac and close to all major road links and being within a short drive to both Heanor and Ilkeston town centres really makes this a must see so please call Burchell Edwards today to arrange your viewing.”
UK building regulations do allow for pylons to be positioned on private land, though developers often pay the National Grid to have mains electricity rerouted in underground cables.
