The photograph in question showed the front of the new build, in which the driveway leads up to the front door rather than the garage door.
This led some users to criticise the layout, and the thinking behind it.
One person asked: 'Apart from the garage why is the kitchen floor outside?,' to which the original poster joked: 'It's a driveway for your air fryer'.
Another person said : 'To be honest I don't know anyone (in the UK, at least) who parks in their garage.
'That's what the driveway is for. The garage is for storing things that you're pretending that you'll use one day'.
More comments then flooded in, on a humorous note, such as 'Apparently grass driveways are popular now?'
However some users found other design issues with the house, aside from the driveway.
I spent £1.2MILLION on a newbuild house - but when I moved in it was riddled with mould…then everything got worse
Someone pointed out: 'Apart from the fact that it's depressing and hideous, I'd pick the fact that the middle window doesn't quite line up with the door below'.

And : 'Are the windows not installed inside-out? Looks like the thing you grab onto to open/close them can be seen on the outside'.
'Windows are inside out and upside down' claimed another X user, with someone else quipping: 'Hideous windows my God'.
And : 'I hate everything about this. Everything' and 'I'll get back to you when I spot what's right,' alongside a laughing emoji.
Victoria and Andrew Ellington purchased a cute little cottage on the seafront during lockdown in 2020.
When the pair decided they want to flip it and give the property a bit of a makeover, they were not expecting what they would be met with.
Shortly after works begun to dig up the foundation and extend Blue Cottage, Victoria got a call from husband Andrew.
Shockingly, the soil was uncontrollably slipping and to 40-year-old Andrew's surprise, a well was unearthed.
Around 27 feet deep, the Ellingtons were so "blown away" by the discovery they decided to keep it and even make money off of it.
