A proud homeowner has hit back at 'tasteless' internet trolls after they slammed his all-black townhouse as 'horrifying', 'gothic' and 'truly horrible'.
Drew Harriman and his partner spent hundreds of thousands of pounds extending conserving and re-roofing the Georgian house - highlighting its classical features.
But after the four storey heritage-approved home was listed for sale, pictures of its exterior went viral with online users pointing out the stark contrast between Harriman's jet-black home and his neighbour's crisp white property.
'Taste like art is subjective. It's amazing when you get keyboard warriors making assumptions about the house. But we love it,' the local business owner told the Daily Mail.
Mr Harriman explained he was 'shocked' at the response as Leicester locals consider his 'sanctuary' to be an 'iconic' part of the neighbourhood.
