Four-bedroom terrace home goes on the market for £900,000 - but leaves house ... trends now

A four-bedroom terrace has left house hunters divided after its owners painted the exterior dark grey.

The property, located in Henley-on-Thames, Oxon, is on the market for £900,000 and was painted the unusual colour in June last year by owner Emma Wallace-Madeley, after she obtained planning approval. 

Her decision frustrated locals and a number of people have been seen blasting the house's appearance online, describing it as 'odd' and 'absolute vandalism'.

But others have supported the owners' decision, with one saying: 'I'd move in tomorrow. And I'd leave it black.'

The house is a short distance from the town centre and boasts four bedrooms, three storeys, and an open-plan kitchen diner, as well as an enclosed garden and parking space.

In its listing on Rightmove, estate agents Knight Frank said: 'When entering the property, you are welcomed by light contemporary loft-style accommodation, all finished to a very high specification.

'The open-plan double reception room, with engineered wooden floor throughout, has a sitting room to the front with a bay window and a brick feature wall.

'The kitchen has a range of custom de Vol kitchen units and appliances, including a 5-burner induction Rangemaster and a dining area with bi-fold doors leading to the private west-facing garden.'

'To the front of the property is an attractive tiled path to the front door. The west facing garden has been laid with an AstroTurf lawn and has a brick wall along its boundaries, providing plenty of privacy and bench seating to one side.

'A back gate leads to the private parking area, providing space for off street parking for one car.'
