How much?: Derelict Sevenoaks mansion with exposed roof, rotting walls and mouldy bed goes on the market for £1.75MILLION

• Detached house has six bedrooms and sits on three acres of land in Kent
• Three-floor property is a ‘super rare’ opportunity for investors, say estate agents 

A derelict mansion with an exposed roof, rotting walls and a mouldy bed in Sevenoaks has gone on the market for £1.75million.

The detached house features six bedrooms and sits on three acres of land in the sought-after area of Sevenoaks, in Kent, popular with those commuting into Central London. 

The three-floor building comes without a roof, rotten walls and a mouldy bed, but estate agents present the ‘super rare’ property as the perfect opportunity for investors. Most rooms only have beams indicating a roof being there at some point.

The listing on Rightmove reads: ‘Tyron Ash are proud to present this rare and unique site set within approximately 3 acres of land (1.214 Hectares) in a high value location of historic natural beauty.

‘Full planning permission granted for the erection of an architecturally designed 4/5 bedroom detached house and associated out buildings.’

Most rooms only have beans that indicate a roof existed there at some point

Estate agents listed the property for a staggering £1.75million, despite the derelict state of the house

Social media users were left baffled by the price for the derelict house and joked the roofless property is what estate agents would refer to as ‘having potential’.

One person joked: ‘Each room in this large property is bathed in natural light and abundance of fresh air. The house also comes with several large, original feature fireplaces.’

Another added the house was ‘airy and [has] far reaching views in all directions (including up)’.

A third said: ‘Insulate Britain wouldn’t be happy with that roof.’ 

Others commented on the great views from all bedrooms and great ventilation the roof- and windowless house provided, as well as the truly ‘open’ floor plan.
