A two-bed home has been put up for sale for the bargain price of £145,000 – but prospective buyers will have to deal with piles of hoarded junk and stacks of filthy pans.

The semi-detached house in Alvaston, Derby, is swamped by hoarded toys, blankets and cards that say the word ‘Mum’.

A generous estate agent description says the home is ‘spacious’ and ‘an excellent find’, lauding its ‘inviting landing area’ – although they do admit that it is ‘a small renovation project’. They add that they anticipate a ‘high amount of interest’.

The wallpaper on the walls is dark with damp, while the dilapidated kitchen is piled high with cans, packets of food and teabags.

Black mould covers the grimy walls and ceiling of the old-fashioned bathroom, where the shower rail has fallen from the wall and the sink cabinet has collapsed.

And in the neglected garden, wheelie bins lie abandoned amid overgrown bushes and piles of cardboard.

In stark contrast, from the front of the building, the meadow-like lawn is divided sharply from the manicured green grass of their next-door neighbour.

Viewers reacted in horror to the property after seeing the home on social media.

I was a hoarder who lived in clutter but now I help others throw out their rubbish

One, Gavin Barrie, said: ‘Oh god I need to go and shower after seeing that.’

Another took a jibe at the suggestion that it would only need a ‘small’ renovation – joking: ‘with a flamethrower?’

A third said: ‘You can smell those pictures,’ while a further commenter added: ‘Hazmat suit required before entering.’

But others were more sympathetic over the tragic sight. Melindi Scott, said: ‘That is just the saddest thing,’ while another, Peter, added that it would be ‘brimming with memories’.

The property has two large bedrooms, one family bathroom and a lounge spread across two floors.

In one room a trio of musty suits still hang from the handle of the wardrobe, while an umbrella can be seen safely stored on top.

In the master bedroom clothes remain folded at the foot of the bed and the sheets show signs of wear. In the corner, huge piles of clothes and other indistinguishable items cover the floor.

The seller Springbok Properties – who recommend that viewing is ‘highly advised’ – recommended the house as an ‘ideal investors opportunity’.
