Mansion snapped up in three days despite being on fire in property listing

A mansion has been snapped up by a Brit after just three days on the market - despite the first photo on the listing showing the family home on fire. The mansion in Franklin, Tennessee, America, was posted on Zillow by Benchmark Realty estate agents.

Many viewers were shocked to see that the first picture of this colonial-style house was a live shot of the building ablaze. The bizarre photograph shows thick smoke and flames billowing out of the ceiling, as a fire engine stands by and hoses down the $1.5 million (£1.2 million) property with a torrent of water.
