A house needing repair and improvement in Colchester, three-bedroom 82 Newcastle Avenue is listed with a freehold guide price of £225,000 to £230,000 with vacant possession.
Paul Bridgeman said: “This is one of those occasions where potential buyers have to look beyond the current state of the property to what it might become.
“The seller has advised that the property has been subject to a number of water leaks which have caused part of the ceiling to collapse at both ground and first floor levels.
“Consequently, it’s very much a doer-upper – hence the guide price – with scope for a project for someone to return the property to its former glory.”
