One of the UK’s cheapest homes is up for grabs at a mere £12,000, but it comes with a hefty side of pigeon poo. The three-bedroom end terrace in Blackpool, Lancs, is set to go under the hammer on December 5.
However, the new owners will have to tackle a wild bird infestation that has left the place plastered in droppings.
A shocking photo from inside the property – which is too hazardous to view in person – shows six pigeons perched in what was once a bedroom, with the floor and furniture buried under layers of their waste.

In the lounge, a cupboard blocks the bay windows, while more pigeons are seen atop a fridge in the kitchen. The backyard is also heaped with debris.
Network Auctions, listing the house with a guide price between £12,000 and £15,000, admits it needs “complete refurbishment”. Their blurb states: “Facing Haig Road with rear access to the yard via Adrian Street, just back from the seafront and beach.”, reports Leicestershire Live.
“The house requires a strip out and re-fit.”
“No viewings due to internal condition the property has a pigeon infestation.”

The news comes after a “hellhole shanty town” made from rusted shipping containers has been described as “the worst place in the UK” to live.
Described as “hellish” by residents, Meath Court and Marston Court in London are in such a poor state that they are being decommissioned by the council, which has given the remaining residents – some families with children – weeks to find somewhere else to live.
The estates have been plagued by cockroach infestations, drug dealers and rusting walkways between homes, reports MyLondon.
The last of the residents living in the grim shipping container estates have been handed eviction notices by the council and some have called for a public inquiry and compensation for the “hardship” they experienced in the West London digs.
