It's a genuine one-off and is a truly unique property. 'The building itself is actually an old Turkish bathhouse. The current owners bought it derelict in 2013 and everything you see in there they have done up themselves. 'The vendor used to work in a fairground when he was younger so he's kind of reimagined his youth. They've spent serious sums of money converting the property; it's been refurbished from top to bottom. 'One particularly interesting feature is Roman Abramovich's old bowling alley. Apparently, he was throwing it out anyway and the vendors got hold of it, it's an incredible piece of kit.' All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
