A modestly priced two-bedroom house, listed for £100,000, has garnered attention and amusement due to its quirky and hilarious stairs.
From the exterior, the mid-terrace property appears relatively ordinary, boasting a sizable living room and an L-shaped kitchen diner, albeit with a touch of dated charm.
The first floor accommodates two decently sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The back garden features an unusual combination of real and artificial grass.
The staircase leading to this level from the hallway adheres to conventional design norms. However, prospective buyers were taken aback when they laid eyes on the stairs ascending to the converted loft.
These unconventional stairs feature a white-painted wooden base that runs right up to the wall, rather than elegantly sweeping around at a right angle. As a result, accessing the spacious room on the second floor would require stepping over the base of the bannisters, leaving many amused and puzzled.
Amidst the jests, some playfully questioned the feasibility of moving furniture up such stairs. A potential buyer humorously remarked, “Imagining how they’d get any furniture up there, ‘pivot, pivot’.”
Another quipped, “You can just have the staircase turn 90 degrees. Who’d do it like this?”
A third chimed in, “I can’t understand how someone actually fitted that staircase. No professional would do that, surely?”
Interestingly, the floorplan indicates a space at the bottom of the peculiar stairs, adding to the mystery.
Currently listed by Mov8 Real Estate and advertised on Rightmove, the property description makes no mention of the unusual stairs. It focuses on the tastefully presented and spacious nature of the house, featuring private gardens, a driveway, and a quiet cul-de-sac location in an established residential area, north of Ayr town centre.
A bright entrance hall leads to a dual-aspect living room, while the dining kitchen provides access to the rear garden. Upstairs, two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom await. Additionally, the property boasts a floored loft with extensive, versatile space.
Situated on the picturesque southwest coast of Scotland, Ayr is renowned for its iconic esplanade and sandy beach. The town’s rich history and vibrant town centre make it a sought-after location, with easy access to Glasgow and other amenities, including schools, rail services, and airports.
Amidst the laughter over the peculiar stairs, the property’s charms and location continue to attract attention, capturing the imaginations of potential buyers looking for their ideal home.
