Ballsy-house move: Would you pay half a million for a house that looks like a PENIS?
SOME might think architects made a bit of a cock-up when they designed a phallic-shaped house - but one is up for grabs for more than half a MILLION pounds.
The phallic-shaped house has attracted a lot of attention
he property, designed by top architect Stan Symonds, stands on a plot measuring 1,204 square metres (3,950 square feet).
Sherwin House, in a suburb in the Australian city of Sydney, has an asking price of over $1.1million (£570,000).
Estate agent Phil Vanstone, from LJ Hooker Mona Vale, said that he believes Mr Symonds deliberately designed the property to look phallic.
He told Mashable: "He is a very bright fellow, so I imagine he probably does know it is shaped as the way it is.
"[The current owners] think it is a bit tongue in cheek."
He added: "I had one couple come through and the husband was having a bit of a chuckle about it, and his wife was telling him to stop being a child."
The house is on the market for over $1.1million
The property's design has raised some eyebrows
Mr Vanstone said that the house's unusual design was not its only selling point.
He explained: "To have a house that the kitchen has a view of the swimming pool and for the outdoor and indoor entertaining areas to flow off the kitchen is a premium thing to have in a property.
"This house has been designed with that in mind.
"It is a very liveable floor plan, although a bit odd, and the fact it has all the original carpentry shows it is a very liveable design, as people haven't gone messing with it."
