UK house hits market for just £80,000 - but buyer will have huge clean first

A three-bedroom house is on the market for a modest £80,000, though any buyer will have a mammoth clean-up mission ahead of them.

The semi-detached house in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, is covered almost entirely in dirt and grime and in dire need of a deep clean.

A series of images were originally listed on Rightmove but have since been removed following disgust from online browsers.

Each and every room in the house is covered in mould and filled to the brim with discarded clutter.

Images of the bathroom showed the surfaces blanketed in a dark grey mould and the toilet bowl covered in faeces stains.

The bathtub has thick layers of dark brown and yellow stains whilst the sink is also completely covered in filth.

The living room is loaded with mounds of rubbish, leaving the floor barely visible.

The kitchen, which was once white, is now covered all over in dark green filth with all surfaces and appliances completely ruined.

One bedroom at the property features a mattress that has been torn to shreds.

While another room is stacked up with clutter reaching around 5ft in height.

Auctioneers Merryweathers listed the property on Rightmove on Friday, with an auction guide price of £80,000.

The listing reads: "A three bedroom semi-detached house in need of full renovation and offered for sale by the modern method of auction.

"The property stands on a popular, established development off Aughton Lane being centrally located for travelling to Sheffield, Rotherham and junction 31 of the M1 motorway."

House-browsers took to social media to comment on the state of the property.

One Reddit user said: "I'd want £40k to clean it. Rank and haunted possibly."

Another said: "I need a clean after just looking at that."

One online viewer said: "You might need a couple of bottles of bleach if you buy this one."

Another shocked viewer said: "Bloody hell! That's actually made me feel quite queasy."

The building is advertised as being only 1.3 miles from Woodhouse Train Station and has a number of schools within walking distance.
