‘Cash buyers only’ for house buried under wave of rubbish

Stepping into this UK house, it looks like a garbage truck had a collision with a family of spiders. 

The three-bedroom house in Southampton is covered in rubbish. 

Broken furniture and chunks of plywood litter the kitchen, which is buried under a thick layer of dust. 

Cobwebs cover the windows and the metal cupboard doors have rusted away.

The house is located on a quiet residential street in the suburb of Bitterne. 

The tired, ivy-covered facade stands out from the neat 20th-century bungalows that line the road. 

The property is set to go under the hammer this month. 

The listing states the property has “endless potential” and sings praises of the stained-glass windows and historic picture rails. 

But it also warns buyers the house “requires a full renovation”. 

It is clear from interior photos that a full clean-out is in order before any renovation works can take place.

The living room is in a particularly grim condition. It is impossible to see the floor under a thick layer of drink cans, wrappers and electrical cords. 

From the foot-long cobwebs that choke the windows, it would appear the room has been uninhabited for some time. 

Elsewhere in the house are signs that a major cleaning project is underway. 

More than 14 black garbage bags are stacked in the corner of the dining room. 

Upstairs, the bedrooms are clear of litter – although the bathroom remains in a dire condition. 

The house is on a 999-year leasehold. 

It will go to auction with a guide price of £180,000 ($366,000). Only cash offers will be accepted.
