Inside amazing ‘time capsule’ home that’s not changed since the 1970s and comes with one of the UK’s first sunbeds which could be yours for £450,000
Four-bed property in Glasgow, Scotland was last updated when Abba began their conquest of the charts
IF you took a chance on this extraordinary home you’d discover that it’s remained unchanged since Abba first embarked on their conquest of the pop world.
The four-bed property boasts a wealth of original fixtures and fittings from the 1970s - including one of the UK’s first home sunbeds.
While from the outside it appears the model of Edwardian elegance - inside it's a riot of orange, brown and Formica.
The property, called Loganlee, is in the upmarket Glasgow suburb of Newlands and is on the market for £450,000.
Built in 1909, the four-bed home was subjected to a thorough Scandinavian makeover in the 70s and hasn't been upgraded since.
The kitchen, bathroom, sauna and fold-out gym and furniture are all original.
Sellers Rettie are confident the extraordinary interior of the house will attract a lot of interest from potential buyers.

A spokesman for the estate agent said: "The owner's father was an architect, so it features all the mod-cons from the 1970s.
"The bedroom still has one of the first home sunbeds, and I understand it still works and it is lowered from the ceiling.
"There is also some fold out gym equipment in the bedroom that folds out for sit-ups and pull-ups."
The work was done by the father of current owner, IT consultant Eric Thomson, who said: "As kids, we did not walk about the house in sunglasses, but perhaps we should have.
"Some people are going to love it."
He admitted: "I've got paintings up of scantily clad ladies on the walls, which were very popular in the 1970s, but I'm not sure how people will regard it in these politically correct times."
Rettie added in their brochure: "The property offers a great deal of flexibility and has a very well preserved 1970s interior.
"There is a further formal dining room which has further secured storage, a really useful family room which from there gives access into a galley styled breakfasting size kitchen with a range of 1970s wall and floor mounted units with integrated electric hob, oven and grill.
"From the kitchen there is a very useful utility room, again with wall and floor mounted units and separate sink and a working sauna."
The property also comes with a well-kept garden and array of plants.
