House hunters say they'd 'plummet to their death' on £5.8m home's baffling 9ft-drop bed

House hunters have been left baffled after viewing a $7 million (£5.6 million) property with a bed suspended above a nine-foot drop over an indoor waterfall - leaving them fearing they would 'plummet to their death'. The unique three-storey home in Manhattan, New York, US, was originally an 1800s dental factory before being transformed by architect and owner David Ling.

However, the Zillow listing baffled potential buyers, who took to social media to question the property's unusual sleeping arrangements. Images show a daringly-positioned bed sticking out three feet off the edge of a platform on the open-plan second floor - without any walls or barriers to prevent sleepers from rolling off the end. Thrill-seeking snoozers can also enjoy an indoor waterfall that cascades down from the foot of the bed before landing in the 'moat' below.
