Henry Ford’s most famous quote, “Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants, so long as it is black”, sprung to mind when a unique property in Greater Manchester popped up on Zoopla.
Intrigued house buyers would not normally have taken a second look at the unassuming bungalow in Swinton. But then the colour scheme of the house more than grabbed their attention.
The property is painted completely black, inside and out, with matching ‘gothic’ furniture and decorations. The total blackout design of the three-bed bungalow is one of the most viewed homes in the area, reports the Mirror.
Every single wall and floor in the renovated bungalow is painted jet black, while the tables, chairs and even the toilet are all co-ordinating black and grey. Even the children’s room continues the black theme, broken up by white furniture and some brightly coloured toys.
For anyone with a gothic style or who wants to totally renovate a place, this bungalow is on the market for £350,000. And it is surprisingly spacious thanks to extensions.
The bungalow’s ground floor has an entrance porch, a hallway with a large lounge and fitted kitchen, which opens up via a breakfast bar to the dining room. Bedrooms are also on this floor with three doubles, as well as a three-piece bathroom and utility completing the bungalow.
Fans of the look will be thrilled to know there is also an attic which has been converted into another bedroom with a dressing room and bathroom. While the furniture isn’t staying, the gothic look is completed with a black panther statue in the dining room and skulls on the walls, both in wallpaper and actual decorations.
The fitted kitchen units are white so if all black decoration isn’t the buyer’s thing, they won’t need to rip out the entire kitchen area. The bungalow is set behind electric gates with a driveway and detached outbuildings that are currently used as an office and a gym..

Estate agents Miller Metcalfe said: “Situated within a generous private gated plot, this superb home has been significantly extended and offers exceptionally well-proportioned living space that must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
“The location is within easy access to many local shops and amenities and is well placed for renowned primary and secondary schooling. Rarely do homes of this type remain on the market for long and as such, an early internal viewing is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.”
