Empty house covered with foliage and damp could be your next challenging renovation project for £32k

It can be hard to get on the property ladder or to find a house that you can truly add value to, and so the property auctions have always been a hunting ground to root out a building that can provide a solution to either scenario at maybe a more reasonable price.

But with climbing plants eating this three-bed semi alive on the outside and acrow props keeping the house up in some areas on the inside, the new owner of this house in Skewen is going to have to have vision to see past the damp and the faded interiors and clearly see a smart and special family home that could be reborn from the rundown state it currently languishes in.

The garden is so overgrown you can't get outside to see it. But the auction house selling the property ensures anyone tempted to dive in and save this once loved family home from drowning in plants that the property does actually have a garden hiding under the wilderness outside.
