A dilapidated Fife house filled with rubbish and a mountain of discarded beer cans has sold for more than 50% above its original asking price at auction.
The terraced property on Alexander Road in Glenrothes hit the headlines last week after the photos taken by Auction House Scotland showed its interior strewn with litter. Every room, from the living and dining room and kitchen through to the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom, was lined with rubbish.
Auctioneers optimistically described the dwelling as having "excellent potential" - and clearly, the buyer at Friday's auction held at Glasgow's Radisson Red hotel felt the same way. In the end, the property fetched £64,250, around 60% more than the original guide price of £39,999.
