Overgrown ivy-covered abode set for auction in the midst of neglect.
The long-forgotten property in Norbury, Staffordshire, is set to be sold at public auction on Friday, 21st June 2024. This detached house, camouflaged from the road due to being entirely entombed in ivy, has been vacant for an astonishing 44 years.
The property, which has not been lived in since 1980, offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a renovation project. With a guide price of £140,000, the home presents a chance to bid on and buy a plot in a popular location.
The interiors of the house have been left to rot due to the ivy blocking visitors, and the lack of lighting intensifies its disconcerting atmosphere. Viewing the property is not permitted ahead of the sale due to the ivy being so overgrown.
The auction will be conducted online via a 2-hour bidding window, with the minimum opening bid set at £120,000. The auction can be accessed on the Higgins Drysdale site.
The home's history is shrouded in mystery, with barely any of its structure visible from the outside. The property was rented to two men who disappeared, but there are no publicly available records or accounts of any persons who rented a house in Norbury over the past 44 years and then disappeared.
Despite its eerie aura, the home is ideal for those looking to renovate a house. The property will be sold by public auction on Friday, 21st June 2024. If you're up for a challenge and ready to breathe new life into this forgotten home, mark your calendars for the auction.
