Grade II listed houses filled with rubbish and even a car on sale for £725k
- 3 months ago
Two rundown Grade II listed houses filled with rubbish, mattresses and even a car in the garden are on sale - for at least £725k.
The adjoining properties in Ramsgate in Kent have fallen into disrepair and seemingly used as a dumping ground for decades.
They are filled with mountains of litter and described by auctioneers as “one of the worst” he’s ever seen.
The dilapidated former guest houses are available to purchase as two separate lots for the first time in 60 years.
They are situated in Wellington Crescent and will be going to auction with Taylor James Auction House later this month.
The new owners will certainly have their work cut out, with pictures showing the ceilings and wallpaper falling apart, missing floorboards, and ditched items such as mattresses, a television and even a Christmas tree.
Auctioneer Russell Taylor says: “We are delighted to be offering these two very unique properties which admittedly have seen better days, however, they give the buyer the opportunity to add significant value whether it be converting to an HMO, flats, guesthouse or a single-family dwelling.
“Their location is unrivalled, right on the seafront and it is extremely rare for these properties to come to market.”
Both Grade II-Listed properties, the sites at 25 and 26 Wellington Crescent are five-storys and mid-terrace.
One picture shared with the listing shows stacks of old food packets, including an Iceland cheese and ham pizza box and Haribo sweet packets, alongside a toaster.
Another shows a dirty mattress and the bottom of a set of stairs covered in piles food tins and other packaging.
The advert for the properties says a full refurbishment is needed at both sites due to the condition of both.
Two cookers covered in rust and cobwebs are also inside the properties and surrounded by old mixing bowls, food packaging and kitchen utensils.
Meanwhile, a car with a huge smash in the windscreen has been ditched in the overgrown garden.
Mr Taylor added: “Having fallen into disrepair over the last 20 years local residents will be happy that these two properties will be coming back into use and whoever is the purchaser may find a few surprises buried in the garden!
“It’s definitely one of the worst I have come across and unfortunately I can’t work out what type of car is buried in the garden but I don’t think it’s a Porsche!”
Going to auction on Wednesday, January 31, the site at 25 Wellington Crescent is up for £375,000 plus while the lot at 26 Wellington Crescent will start bidding at £350,000.
