Inside the quirky ‘Teletubbies home’ that is hit the marketplace for £1.2million… are you able to guess what it was once?
A quirky ‘Teletubbies house’ is on the market for more than £1million.
But the grass-covered three-bedroom home is not in Teletubbyland, it instead can be found in the West Yorkshire village of Burley in Wharfedale.
On the market for £1.2million, the detached house is the ideal abode for a family looking to move close to nearby Leeds – which is just 20 minutes away by train – while also looking for a house with a bit of character.
The distinctive property, which also sits close to the picturesque spa town of Ilkley, boasts a stunning open plan interior all situated on the ground floor. This includes a kitchen-diner, a living room, a sitting room and two bathrooms.
Its patio doors open out into a stunning, perfectly manicured, garden with the Yorkshire countryside right on your doorstep.
But despite its unusual shape, the building is not a newbuild home and is in fact much older than its modern design might suggest.

The house has been converted from what was a former Victorian reservoir which had been left unoccupied for decades.
As recently as 2008, the reservoir was nothing more than a grassy-overgrown mount but after it was meticulously restored by the current owners it was transformed into the beautiful property it is today.
The listing with estate agents Carter Jonas says: ‘The sale of The Old Reservoir offers a unique opportunity to acquire a signature residence rarely available on the open market originally a former reservoir dating back to the early Victorian era.
‘Only recently however, the current owners have carried out an extensive programme of sympathetic restoration to an exceptionally high and luxurious standard designed by award winning Faye Robinson Interiors, maintaining the character features of the original structure combined with the requirements of modern day eco-friendly living.
‘The initial external appearance completely belies the simply stunning, light spacious open plan living space all arranged over just one level.’
Speaking of the area, the estate agent continued: ‘Burley in Wharfedale is a pretty and much sought after village, almost equidistant from Ilkley and Otley both offering a wide variety of facilities.’
