With solar panels, underfloor heating, electric gates and light-filled hallways, it has anything you could ever want.

But its secret weapon is a private slide that allows kids to whizz from a gallery area to a bedroom and playroom below.

It means kids - and even adults - can almost shoot straight into bed when its time to get your head down.

Estate agents Harmony said: ”Any child will struggle to hide the excitement, perhaps even the adults.

“This place offers the wow factor the moment you see it.”

The property, close to the town of Attleborough, is a new build and offers easy access to the A11.

The current owners only moved in in 2020.

But it is the kid’s slide that really has house hunters talking.

“Slide into a bedroom and within literal arm’s reach of the A11….where do I sign up?” one said.

“As a kid I think I would have died of excitement having this in my room. Imagine the boasting at school,” another commented.

Despite the funky slide feature, the decor wasn’t a hit.

Posh white marble, oak beams, glass and lots of velvet furniture runs throughout the home.

While LEDs light up the kitchen, which boasts brick features.

One person slammed: “That's a lorra velvet and marble!!"

Another replied: “If the slide’s included I can overlook the marble and greige.

"They'll be taking the velvet with them.”
