Upstairs includes four bedrooms, a dressing room and a bathroom.

Pictures taken from the outside show the house's exterior has been boarded up and the ground has been overgrown with green.

The roof tiles also have green mould, indicating the state of abandonment the property is in - however that is only the beginning.

Moving to the inside of the house, there remains a personality of the previous residents, with one of the bedroom walls painted in orange and the ceiling sustaining quite a lot of damage.

Looking around the room seems to be covered in black mould.

The mouldy issue does not stop there and carries on to the kitchen where a few sections of the cabinet on the left of the picture seem to be missing a drawer as well as some appliances.

The whole kitchen is filthy and covered in dust and what seems to be plasterboard shavings.

The issue does not get better as other parts of the house are riddled with mould and one of the upstair bedrooms includes a floor-to-ceiling smashed wardrobe.

With the property also comes a garage on a separate, which with some repair works can be used to keep a car or for storage.
