This house on Rightmove won the funniest and most unexpected (and short-lived) property listing of the year
Another entry now in our best of 2023 round-up and there really was only one contender for ‘estate agent listing of the year’.
It’s a listing for a house on the website of the estate agent Rightmove which caught the attention of people beyond those who may be looking for a nice house to buy in the Nottingham area.
This came about after a chap called Ade posted the listing on his Twitter feed, along with some words which were guaranteed to pique readers’ curiosity…
I think maybe the bottom of the bed should have been covered before the photos were taken.https://t.co/z3XaV4L9QY

If you click on the listing now, you’ll be confused and disappointed that there doesn’t seem to be anything amiss. It seems that Rightmove were quick to take the offending picture down. But, the internet always keeps receipts. So what was at the bottom of the bed?
Let’s take a look…

Can you imagine growing up and that just being the furniture in your parents bedroom until one day you learn what it really is and die internally for the rest of your life

We are assured this is a ‘no chain property’.
Are they sure?

Who’s brave enough to arrange a viewing?
