Families searching for a new home are stunned after £230,000 cottage is listed with pictures featuring pictures of the Yorkshire Ripper and Jimmy Savile – not to mention lifesize cut-out of Fiona Bruce

• A photo of Magaret Thatcher also featured over a fireplace in the 3-bed cottage
• The ‘stunning’ period cottage is set in the rolling hills of West Yorkshire

A ‘stunning’ three-bed cottage set in the rolling hills of West Yorkshire has gone on the market for a very reasonable £230,000.

But pictures of the period property, which comes fit with a modern kitchen, roof top garden and even its own bar, have left potential buyers stunned for other reasons. 

The owners have decided to decorate its pub-style lair with bizarre memorabilia – including a life-size cut out of Fiona Bruce and photograph of Margaret Thatcher.
