This detached Victorian house may be 131 years old, but it’s filled with ultra-modern features – including a huge ball pit playroom in its basement.  

It features bright yellow walls with images of children playing on them, soft inserts towards the bottom of the walls for safety, a platform to jump off of and, of course, a sea of rainbow balls. 

Set over four floors, the unique home in Grimsby comes complete with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, three reception rooms and a kitchen/diner. 

The property, which was built in 1890, is slightly dated in terms of decor but retains plenty of period features. 

But the real showstopper is the basement, which along with the ball pit features a steam room, two large reception rooms, a store room and a W/C and shower.
