Luxury home that's totally colourless inside except for bright red cushions goes on sale for £500k

A bizarre luxury home that’s completely colourless inside except for bright red cushions has gone on sale for half a million pounds.

The four-bedroom converted semi in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear is decorated in white in every room of the house, with more TV sets on the walls than pictures. 

The only splash of colour comes in the form of red cushions on sofas in a couple of rooms – and one of the toilets which looks like the type fitted in prison cells.

And to round things off the video of the extraordinary house is accompanied by the stirring strains of Carl Orff’s famous ‘O Fortuna’ from Carmina Burana.

Comments so far include references to the sci-fi film ‘2001 Space Odyssey’, a prison cell, a morgue and the home of a serial killer.

The property in Tyne and Wear Certainly doesn’t lack any brightness from the whitewashed walls

Large porthole-like windows give the property a futuristic feel, with some viewers comparing it to the set of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey

One commenter wrote of the property: ‘That screams serial killer! It’s a private hospital with it’s own morgue and autopsy room

But online viewers fail to appreciate the unique character of the property and are unanimous in their comments.

One said: ‘Pretty sure this is an above-ground sex dungeon.’

While another wrote: ‘That screams serial killer! It’s a private hospital with it’s own morgue and autopsy room. I wouldn’t lack for a place to hang dartboards and the showers are OK but those metal karzis have got to go.’
