THIS huge 11-bedroom mansion could be yours for just £150,000 ($179,500) – but there’s a reason why it’s so cheap.

The period family home covers just over 5,500 sq ft and sits in five acres of land in Waterville, New York state.

The house was built around 1832 and has been updated since, but needs plenty of work to bring it into the modern age.

The dining room, complete with chandelier, looks like it is out of a bygone age and the wallpaper, which is falling off, needs some serious attention.

Similarly, in what appears to be a study, the wallpaper is also coming away and holes in the wall are exposing the electrics.

On the plus side, there are some beautiful period features including “elegant stairways, fireplaces, doorways and moldings”.
