Whopping six bedroom Victorian semi at bargain auction price

A huge property has been listed for sale in Merseyside, that could be snapped up at a bargain price.

The six bedroom semi-detached home, is up for auction, meaning that the buyer could bag the property at a lesser price than average. Found on Egerton Park, Birkenhead, the house is on a large corner plot.

Estate agents listing the home say the property is an "ideal" opportunity for someone to convert it into separate flats or revamp it into an impressive family home. The property is up for auction with a guide price set at £180,000 by Clive Watkin.
