Rock n roll home on sale in east London for £500k... but do YOU recognise it?

M.Cooper33 min ago
Music fans with £550k to spend could be tempted to view a property in east London - after the owner decked out his living room to mirror an iconic 1994 album cover.

From the outside, the three-bed semi listed by Purplebricks, appears like any other home lining the leafy east London street in Abbey Wood - but a peek inside reveals it's a place a true fan could really appreciate.

It's not just the cigarettes and alcohol on the wooden living room floor that give the game away, flamingos on the fireplace and a Epiphone guitar are also there in tribute.

A framed image of musical hero Burt Bacharach leaning against the sofa and another of Man City legend Collin Bell by the fireplace add to the effect.

And, to top it off, a giant spinning globe hangs beside the mirror, to the right of the image.

Figured it out yet?

The front room has been decorated to resemble the front cover of Oasis' seminal debut album - Definitely Maybe.

The real Definitely Maybe house is in Didsbury, Manchester but this replica is located in Zone 4, close to Abbey Wood train station and the Elizabeth Line.

The home's entrance hall connects to the through lounge and extended kitchen, a first floor bathroom with over-bath shower, two double bedrooms and a single bedroom.

At the rear there is a laid-to-lawn garden with patio and out-building with windows in its Wonderwalls – and She's Electric with power and lighting so can be used as an office or gym.

Owner, Jonathan Leclerc-Strode, said: 'Definitely Maybe is one of the all-time greats and certainly a game changer in my generation's lifestyle.

'Oasis makes me think back to a simpler time, when you could spend lazy afternoons blasting indie rock without looking back in anger.

'A well-placed glass of wine and lo and behold, a striking similarity that left me speechless.'

A Purplebricks spokesperson said: 'We love what the owner has done to their living room.

'The likeness to the Definitely Maybe album cover is uncanny.

'It is the perfect house for any Oasis fan.'
