One of Britain’s most affordable homes could sell for just £12,000 - but it comes with a mountain of pigeon poo. The three-bed end terrace home, in Blackpool, is set to be auctioned off on December 5. But the buyers of the home on Haig Road, close to the famed seafront, will have to contend with a feral bird infestation that has left it covered in faeces.
One marketing picture taken of the property - which cannot be viewed due to its poor condition - shows six pigeons sitting in a bedroom. While the grim image further appears to show how the birds have carpeted the floors and furniture with inches of their droppings. Other snaps taken of the brick-built dwelling reveal how the fixtures and fittings have been pulled from its walls.
In the living room, a cupboard has been placed up against the bay windows - with further pigeons pictured on a fridge in the kitchen. A mound of building rubbish also fills up the back garden area. Network Auctions, which has listed the property with a guide price of £12,000 to £15,000, says it requires a “complete refurbishment”.
Their description reads: “Facing Haig Road with rear access to the yard via Adrian Street, just back from the seafront and beach. "The house requires a strip out and re-fit.” “No viewings due to internal condition – the property has a pigeon infestation.
