A three-bedroom country house is for sale for £435,000 but there is a catch…it’s actually a derelict BARN.
There is a huge broken wooden door at the front and the driveway is overgrown and covered in rubble.
Two old tractors and discarded wheels have also been left.
The back door has come off its hinges and there are tiles missing off the roof.
The only glimpse inside the run down, stone building shows scaffolding and corrugated metal panels.
But the property description is very different, describing the key features as a “vaulted entrance hall, sitting room, study, two cloakrooms and utility room.
“Kitchen and dining room, two ensuite bedrooms, self-contained first floor apartment, courtyard, patio and parking.”
The Grade II Listed old barn in the quaint Cotswolds village of Wellow, near Bath, Somerset has planning permission to convert it into the modern home.
But the buyer will have to do it themselves.
However to purchase the property costs more than one-and-a-half times the average house price in the UK – which is £283,615.
And home hunters could buy 44 houses in Shildon, Co Durham – the cheapest place to live in the country – where homes start at £10,000 and still have some change left.
It is being sold by David James estate agents and advertised on Rightmove.
The listing reads: “An opportunity to acquire a detached, Grade II Listed stone barn with full planning permission for conversion into a dwelling and self contained apartment.
