The most viewed home for sale online over the past month was this four bedroom bungalow with a big surprise in store for buyers.
The bungalow in St William's Way, Thorpe St Andrew, for sale for £425,000, might look like a standard home from the front but at the back it looks very different to what you might expect.
That's because it's been hugely extended with bi-folding doors opening across the entire width of the property.
As the seller shows, the space is big enough for a massive billiards table.
The property tops the list of the 10 houses people searched for most on Zoopla, which powers Homes24.
