Brits have been baffled after discovering a horribly expensive wreck of a house on sale on Rightmove for almost £700,000.
Browsing properties in your local area on Rightmove is a pretty popular hobby for plenty of people, and sometimes you come across some absolute horror shows - and now another one has surfaced.
Located in London, just a short walk from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club where Wimbledon is played, is a three bedroom house that's on the market for £695,000, but only if you're a cash buyer willing to buy the place without a mortgage.

The house is described as 'a complete blank canvas to create your dream family home', though 'derelict wreck in dire need of repair' would probably be a more accurate description.
Other phrases like 'in need of complete modernisation' really don't do proper justice to just how much of a tip the house is.
As of June this year, the average house price in the UK was £288,000, while of course the London premium takes the capital city's average up to £528,000.
With that in mind, it's rather baffling to many that whomever is selling this a cash buyer with almost £700,000 burning a hole in their pocket thinks the house listing is doing a good job of advertising the place.

The first image of the house makes it look like a shabby little terrace in dire need of a new door and it really goes downhill from there.
Every room is a wreck of peeling wallpaper, grotty floors and crumbling ceilings, while the roof over the bathroom appears to have fallen in completely. So, you'll want to pick Mother Nature's filthy leavings out of the bath before you go for a dip in there.
The whole place looks like a filth-ridden mess, the kind of place you'd expect to see being a film-set for some post-apocalyptic disaster movie where the pre-millennium UK destroyed by a nuclear war.
People have really not been impressed with the place, which some have described as 'the murder house' and a 'derelict horror'.

It turns out that, just because a house is within walking distance of Wimbledon, it doesn't mean people would be willing to pay almost £700,000 for a 'rotting husk internally'.
Someone else said that whomever took the photos of the rotting abode made sure they were 'exploiting the decay and light for artistic effect'.
The pictures won't help sell the place to prospective buyers, but the photographer can use them for their portfolio.
If you plan on putting in an offer for this house please get help.
