A LUXURY family home on the market in Shropshire will look oddly familiar to fans of one very well-known children's show.

The four-bed property in Shrewsbury boasts some stunning features, including rural views, a top-of-the-range kitchen and underfloor heating.

But its architecture will ring a bell for anyone who grew up watching the Teletubbies - as it looks exactly like the Tubbytronic Superdome.

Just like the TV house, the £1.75million home is completely covered by grass.

The "living roof"; means it blends perfectly into its countryside surroundings.

However, that's where the similarities between the two pads ends.

The Superdrome - home to Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po - looks more like an empty aircraft hanger inside.

But the lucky new owner of Three Oaks will find an ultra-modern property filled with high-end additions.

The house, built in 2017, covers 7,000sq ft and features a second kitchen, whopping dining room and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Every bedroom has its own en suite and build-in bathroom, while the kitchen is fitted with an electric Aga, pricey Gaggenau fridge/freezer and in-built Miele coffee machine.

Two sets of bi-fold doors on the ground floor open directly onto the paved terrace, and the living and drawing rooms have their own Aga log burners.

There's also a music room and gym, as well as grounds spanning 1.2 acres.

Agents at Strutt and Parker say: "The property has been designed with the environment at the heart of the project and incorporates solar panels, private water supply via a borehole, a bio-mass boiler with intelligent heating system control and living roof."

It's not the only home with a sweet surprise in store on the market.

A £2.2m property in Belbroughton, Worcestershire comes complete with a pool, sauna, gym - and underground games room.

The owner of an £875,000 home in Belfast will find a massive slide extending between two floors in the back garden.

And a ramshackle beach hut in Westward Ho!, Devon was snapped up for an eye-watering price - but there's a very good reason.

Although it needs plenty of work, the outbuilding was snapped up within just two days of becoming available because it boasts astonishing seaside views.

There's plenty of space for parties at the house - and because it's remote, it's unlikely neighbours will complain
