A house decorated entirely in pink has gone on the market for £230,000. The two bedroom semi-detached home has absolutely everything painted in pink, from the exterior to the garden shed. It was put up for sale after its pink-obsessed owner - known as the 'pink lady' - died in March. Kathy Charles was so fond of pink she not only painted her entire house in the stand out colour but also only wore pink clothes and dyed her pink. (DEATH BY PINK: An entirely pink house has been put up for sale for £230,000) (The house is decorated top to bottom in pink, including the walls, ceiling and exterior.) (A lot of the furniture is also a crimson-hue...

Buying property is likely to be the single most expensive thing most people will ever purchase. So, for most, forking out a hefty sum would need to be something well-worth it. But it seems one recent buyer’s priorities may differ slightly from the conventional. A run-down gun tower located on the Thames in Kent has been snapped up by an American buyer. But its doer-upper state isn’t the only catch. The Thames tower can only be accessed at low tide via causeway twice a day – or by boat the rest of the time. (It went for over asking price (Picture: Savills / SWNS) Nevertheless, this wasn’t enough to put the buyer off, who paid...

An adorable North American lighthouse has hit the market – but you’ll need deep pockets if you want to live here. The one-bed, one-bath lighthouse, located on the shores of Fall River, Massachusetts, is one of the world’s only offshore spark plug-style lighthouses. It gets electricity from a solar panel system equipped with battery backup and a whole-house generator, which means you’d never have to pay a leccy bill. But on the flipside, the property will set you back £998,000.The lighthouse, which was built in 1881, was purchased privately from the US Government in 2010. This buyer spent seven years restoring the whole property, which is referred to as a...

A small private island on the fringes of San Francisco Bay went up for sale this week for the pretty price of $75 million. Billed as a “great escape for sports gatherings or corporate events,” the roughly 50-acre plot, largely undeveloped with big bay views and assured solitude, is one of the few islands in the Bay Area not owned and protected by the state or federal government. Known as Point Buckler Island, the private property sits in the brackish waters of Suisun Marsh, just east of the Carquinez Strait where the San Francisco Bay quietly transitions into the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The area is popular with kiteboarders and wildlife watchers. “It’s...

When Shannon Lane’s rent increased from £950 to £1,020 per month, and the landlord allegedly suggested adding another tenant to the one-bed home, she knew it was time to check out other options. But a stroll along the London canals made her consider an alternative way of living. The 28-year-old freelance producer came across a ‘For Sale’ sign on a narrowboat and fell in love with the idea. Shannon, who is from Buckinghamshire, UK, said: ‘I was living in a flat in Clapton, and my rent was around £950 a month for one room. The landlord wanted it to raise that price by around £70 and put somebody else into the flat. ‘They wanted to...
