Another blasted: “Whoever did this should be arrested!”
But a third added: “I’m saying this is a work of genius.”
“Michael gove in the club but represented as houses,” joked another.

Advertising the property, estate agent William H Brown said: “This four/five bedroom townhouse boasts a large reception room, large kitchen/diner, shower room and a lean-to which is currently being used as bedroom five.
“To the first floor are two double bedrooms and a WC.
