The end of terrace property is sure to excite investors looking for value, as the auction guide price is set at just £1,000.
But potential buyers may be surprised to only be invited for external viewings. as the family pad was recently burned up in a blaze.
Putting a new spin on ‘firesale’, the cut-price home is ideal for Brits looking for a fixer-upper.
Located in west Hull, the property now comes without a roof after the fire took out the rafters and damaged the front of the home.
So while the new owner will save a pretty penny, they will also be buying a huge to-do list, as the blaze also blackened the front brickwork and windows.
But despite its flaws, the home still offers the essentials needed to build out from.
Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor, alongside a living room, family kitchen and bathroom.
There is also a sun-soaked garden out the back, and one of the key selling points is the home’s handy location.
