Despite its attractive low cost, a house in Sweden has remained unsold for an unusually long period of three years due to its genitalia-themed address, a media report said.

Snorrslida, the village where the house is located, means 'penis vagina' in Swedish and prospective customers are probably refusing to buy the house for the weird address that would accompany the property, Ice News reported.

When the property went on sale at a relatively low cost of 42,000 Kronor, the advertisement went viral on the internet.

Estate agent Henrik Hakansson said that they were able to sell it (property) a decade ago and remained hopeful they could do so again.
