FROM the outside, a Welsh home on the market for £875,000 looks rather cosy and inviting. However, house hunters have been left shocked at an unexpected surprise in the bathroom - a giant high heel bathtub. The quaint link detached cottage is located in the picturesque walled market town of Conwy.

Built in 1441, the Grade II listed four-bedroom, three-bathroom property is believed to be one of the only two medieval buildings within the town walls. But believe it or not, that’s not the most interesting part about this £875,000 home, as reported by Luxury Property News.

Stepping inside, each room adorns original features and the interior has stuck to its 15th century-esque design. In the main bathroom, however, there’s a huge surprise waiting. No, it’s not a walk-in shower or a luxurious marble bathtub, but one shaped like a giant high heel.

Covered in purple and pink sequins, with a matching pink bow wrapped around the centre, it’s a shoo-in to provide the perfect soak. And to give yourself a wakeup boost in the morning, splash your face with some cold water from the coffee cup shaped sink.

It’s truly a stark contrast from the rest of the home, which has left people shocked online, with some calling it "grotesque.". Taking to Reddit, users have shared their reactions. “I was not expecting that,” one person said. Another user added: “Me scrolling through pics – like it, nice, oh yes, could see me here, love that bed, yes, nice, what the actual f**k?” [sic].
