While many may be attracted by the outside appearance of this three-bed property that's going for just £60,000, a closer inspection of the interior will be more than sobering.
The terraced house in Whitnash Grove, Coventry, has suffered from severe fire damage from the inside. Auctioneers Loveitts has warned all prospective buyers that the property may require "full refurbishment". If that wasn't enough, the property also contains mountains of junk and rubbish while the bathroom is full of smashed tiles, a dirty bath, as well as an abandoned airer draped with clothes. Meanwhile, the ground floor contains two rooms and a kitchen which leads into the large paved garden with its own coal shed.Despite all the fire and smoke damage, however, the property can still be considered a bargain compared to the average house prices in the area at £181,000.
The sprawling grounds of Coombe Abbey and Country Park are also just a few miles away. A Loveitts spokesperson said: “This bedroom mid-terraced property requiring full modernisation, with access to the rear via secured gates. “It’s located within a popular residential area and is an ideal family home or investment opportunity.”
