Inside the stunning £1.2m 'Teletubbies' house that was once an old Victorian reservoir

A distinctive property has come on the market for £1,250,000 and has been compared to the Teletubbies house. The unique three-bed detached home has been converted from what was a former Victorian reservoir in the quaint village of Burley in Wharfedale in West Yorkshire.

Described by estate agents as being in a 'sought after' area, the house itself is one they say is 'rarely available on the open market'. The current owners of the Old Reservoir have recently restored it with award-winning modern interiors, whilst maintaining the original structural features.

Inside, the contemporary abode features a stunning open-plan interior layout across one level, complete with neutral colours and luxurious furniture, fixtures and fittings. The property boasts two reception rooms, two bathrooms and three bedrooms, as well as a gorgeous garden, a garage and ample private parking.
