A HUGE family home appears to have been left abandoned after it hit the market for a reduced price of just £159,000.  

And while the property boasts some adequate features and amenities, it quickly becomes evident why it’s been left empty for such a long period of time.

say the building is currently “unhabitable” due to landslides that are commonplace in the area.

Property salesmen recommend that potential buyer of the home should be prepared to fund major renovation - challenging house hunters to bring it “back to it's original charm”.

And for those up for the terrifying challenge, it could be a bargain.

Built in 1972, the property, located in Washington, USA, boasts four bedrooms and three bathrooms with two garage spaces for parked cars.

The 200ft square home is currently listed for £159,000 – comparatively low for the neighbourhood.

Elsewhere the property has its own balcony and garden where family and friends can enjoy the stunning panoramic views.

However, it's certainly advised to erect a wall or a fence first.

The fate of the house mirrors the plight of many homes across the UK which have hit the headlines for their precarious cliff-side locations.

Last December The Sun reported on accounts of several residents of a home in the seaside village of Mundesley, Norfolk after a landslide the "size of a football pitch" plunged into the sea.

The fall, which followed ten days of heavy rain in the area, trimmed around 4ft away from the end of the clifftop garden of an Edwardian house converted into five flats.

But tenants living inside are refusing to panic - and insist they will carry on living in the same spot.

Sarah Cameron, 54, who lives in a ground floor flat, said: “This is a lovely place to live and I am going to stay here 100%. These cliff falls happen and we expect them.

“We know the properties here are going to succumb to the elements at some point, but I don’t think it is going to happen for some time yet.

“There is no point in worrying about it because there is nothing we can do.”

In other property news, a student has revealed the horrors of the filthy flat she forks out an eye-watering £1,000 a month for in London.
