He said: “This is a vacant freehold property that is currently boarded up, and all interior rooms need significant works, hence the attractive guide price.”

Rossiter also pondered the potential that the property could provide to first-time buyers looking to climb the property ladder.

“It’s the kind of property that catches the eyes of first-time buyers with DIY skills and landlords willing to invest in expanding their portfolios,” he continued.
