This atypical building is located in Kidderminster. With its three bedrooms and its selling price at 1.1 million eurosit could appeal to lovers of atypical goods, as explained The Mirror. But be careful, the images of the interior suggest a colossal construction site. Decrepit rooms, absence of electricity for more than 70 years: the charm of the old has its limits.
However, the announcement of the property particularly highlights its unique character: “Nestled deep in Wyre Forest, this opportunity to acquire a stone cottage, the oldest part of which dates from 1675, will delight history buffs.” The potential of this house is undeniable, however…
A trip back in time to the heart of England
It’s a real leap into the past that awaits you when you cross the threshold of this atypical house. Built around 1675, it has retained part of its character of yesteryear. The stone walls have stood the test of time, like silent witnesses to the life that took place within these walls.
Far from the urban bustle, the building stands proudly on a large plot of land of almost 7 hectares. Century-old oak trees, green meadows and natural springs form a green setting around the property. A stone outbuilding, also dating from the 17th century, completes this rural picture.
“There may already be a vampire in the attic.”
First time on the market for 200 years… creepy
No Description
If the official announcement emphasizes the calm and the idyllic setting, Internet users seem more concerned about the gloomy atmosphere that emerges from the photos. On Reddit, the comments are also going well. “This place must be absolutely terrifying at night“, confides an Internet user. “Advantage: ideal in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Inconvenience : there may already be a vampire in the attic“, quips another.
But it is above all the presence of abandoned toys in what appears to be a child’s bedroom that left its mark. “There’s an AWFUL stuffed monkey left in the crib. I don’t think I’ll sleep at night“, we can read.
A major renovation reaches the future owner
Far from being uninhabitable, the residence nevertheless requires major renovation work. Without electricity for over 70 years, it will have to be completely brought up to standard to regain its past splendor and offer a minimum of modern comfort.
But for renovation and history enthusiasts, that’s all the charm of this extraordinary project. The announcement also specifies that the property has been “maintained over the years“. It will therefore be more of a refurbishment than a total reconstruction.
