Big and strong: The £4.5million six-bedroom, Victorian house in Putney Deadlinepix WA20024
Who would live in a house like this? Not 80s pop star, X Factor judge and "nightmare neighbour" Sinitta it would seem, who is selling the Putney house for £4.5million.
The So Macho singer caused outrage last summer after installing two 60kw air-conditioning units at the back of her garden in Colinette Road, inches from neighbours' summer houses and patios.
Wandsworth Council turned down her planning application for the units in September, after 60 residents signed a petition which said the units were noisy, un-neighbourly and bad for the environment. But the singer launched an appeal and ordered work to be completed on a small shed for the units.
Now she has stunned residents by putting the four storey house on the market - even though the Government's Planning Inspectorate has yet to decide if the units can stay.
Edward Hasted, whose Malbrook Road home backs on to the units, said: "It's caused a massive amount of grief among the neighbours.
"We feel upset and absolutely exhausted. It seems to prove if you've got enough money you can do whatever you want."

The six-bedroom Victorian house is being sold through estate agent Warren Putney.
Sinitta, real name Sinitta Malone, spent a year and a half renovating the property.
“We feel upset and absolutely exhausted. It seems to prove if you’ve got enough money you can do whatever you want.”

She has previously told the Borough News she bought it for a relative, but she also told the Daily Telegraph she was looking forward to moving in and having a family there with her husband Andy Willner.
The house now boasts a 1,000 square foot (304sq m) entertainment space, walk in larder, drop down cinema projector and glass extension offering panoramic views of the garden. It is also advertised as having air conditioning.
Mr Hasted said: "They've basically built a greenhouse - there's so much glass it requires the air conditioning to work. They have to get the air conditioning or they might have real problems selling it."
Government surveyors are due to visit the house on March 26, and will make a decision within five weeks. Potential buyers will have to be informed if the appeal is still pending.
