Charming $885K beach house contains creepy bathroom secret

What kind of loo-natic does this?

An eight-bedroom home at the English seaside is drawing attention not for its size or location — but for a bizarre bathroom tucked into the sizable property.

Located in the trendy town of St Leonards-on-Sea near Hastings, East Sussex, the four-story detached fixer-upper, recently listed for roughly $885,000, according to Jam Press. 

It features multiple living rooms, two kitchens, and three baths.

But one of those lavatories stands apart — outfitted with stark tile, exposed plumbing, and a steel cabinet beneath a rusting mirror, the space evokes a utilitarian aesthetic more commonly associated with institutional settings than family homes. 

A fluorescent light adds to the severe ambiance, while a sign posted on the wall warns, “Cell alarm system not in operation.”

The shower, which looks like it belongs in a prison, is located just off the main room. It appears dimly lit and partially enclosed — contributing to the austere feel. 

While the property’s listing does not directly mention the unconventional design, it describes the home more broadly as “offering incredible potential for families, investors, or those seeking a unique development opportunity.”

The residence includes a ground-floor dining room, a utility room, and multiple bedrooms across all levels. 

One of the bathrooms is noted as a space that would “benefit from refurbishment.” 

The property is currently being marketed by Leadenhall Estates.

The listing frames the home as a balance of period charm and renovation opportunity, stating: “Set over four generous floors, the property combines charming character features with areas in need of modernization — making it ideal for customization to suit your lifestyle or vision.”
