However, the listing shows a lot more will need to be spent on making it habitable, with photos of piles of rubbish, floors covered in junk from plastic bags, old mattresses, floor tiles and walls and doors covered in grime and overgrown plants dominating the front garden.

Wallpaper can also been seen peeling off, with some walls also stripped back to bare brick.

Potential buyers cannot view the property on London Road in the St George's area of the town due to the condition and for health and safety reasons.
