A TERRACED house with a garden and garage has hit the market for just £10 – but there’s a catch.
The property is located in the stunning Welsh Valleys in the quaint village of Tylorstown.

But the tiny £10 guide price is explained by the house’s decrepit interior, with scrap furniture piled high and walls stripped of their plaster.
The house, which is barely more than skeleton, is generously described by auctioneers as “open plan”.
And while it won’t be for the faint-hearted, it could be the perfect fixer-upper for keen profit hunters.
The property boasts a forecourt, rear garden and garage and is near a host of cafes, shops and restaurants in the bustling town of Ferndale.
Sean Roper, who works for Paul Fosh Auctions, believes it has the potential to fit two or even three bedrooms once renovated.
He added that the property had been “stripped back ready for upgrading and improvement” – and that the right buyer will “transform” it into a “comfortable and generously sized” abode.
It is conveniently situation four miles from Porth train station and a 45-minute drive from Cardiff.
Those interested will need to move fast as the auction will only run for just over 48 hours – beginning on November 5 and closing on November 7 at 5pm.
It comes after another Welsh property hit the market for a staggering £0.
But, much like the Tylorstown house, it was in dire need of a makeover, having been destroyed by a fire.
Meanwhile, prospective buyers this week spotted that an entire street was up for sale – including 12 terraced houses.
It didn’t come cheap, though – with starting bids set at an eye-watering £1.5 million.
Home shoppers have also been presented with a flurry of properties with quirky interior features – like a quaint cottage in Dover with its very own cave.
And a two-bed property in the West Midlands concealed a more unsettling secret – with a mountain of junk and abandoned belongings inside.
Inside UK’s ‘worst’ hoarder house
MUMMIFIED cats were found by cleaners who were sent to clean a house stuffed to the rafters.
In fact, the Lancashire house was so cluttered cleaners needed a ladder to climb through a second-storey window to reach the upper floor.
It took cleaners 45 hours to clean the house from all the rubbish, in a “worst-case” of hoarding they had ever seen, using dozens of skips.
The teams were tasked with clearing the home after the homeowner, a man in his 70s, had died.
Much of the house was jam-packed full of old phone equipment as the man wanted start a phone exchange business, which is where the hoarding began in the 1990s.
“Over the years he collected mounds of telecom technology. He began storing these telecom artifacts in containers.
“Then, when they were full he began filling under the floorboards,” a Blanchards spokesperson said.
The only space in the house was an armchair next to the cats, where the man spent all of his time.
The man had a hoarding disorder after analysis of the trash revealed he had been unable to throw anything away for upwards of three decades.
