Property particulars which include a picture of a sleeping pig led to a spate of online comment.
Connells in Ipswich later removed the porcine photo which appeared on Rightmove.
The pig – bearing little resemblance to every small child’s heroine, Peppa – looks to be a pet kept in the one-bedroom detached house which was formerly a meeting hall.
One quip was: “It is often harsh to describe a residential property as a pigsty, but in this case it seems justified.”
Another said: “Buy a house in Ipswich and get a free pig.”
Connells said the photo had been put up in error.
Pig ignorant we may be, but what kind of error was that?

What I want to know, was the pig there for the viewings. Great attention getter.
He fell asleep because the estate agent was a boar!…….
I will stop hogging all the jokes now………. oh go on a few more later…… 🙂
I'm surprised PortalPerson has not complained the picture does not have enough jPIGS for a website.
No where near as funny as it sounded when I typed it….doesn't even make sense………but not the first pigs ear I've made of a joke………… doh.
If the sale falls through I hope it will come BAC ON the market!…..
Ive seen this property before, in fact I think its been on for about three weeeek, weeeek, weeeeks.
I'm here all weeeek.
Quite frankly, I hope whoever took that photo, gets the chop.
Owner was told by the Agent that viewers love the smell of fresh baking. Obviously, he's a little hard of hearing… ;o)
Are they a hamateur agent?
Poor Connells didn't even get to sell it – they were pipped at the post by the other agent – the sw!nes! ;o)
