IF you've got one of those old £1 coins you need to get rid of before next month's deadline to spend them, this might just be the deal for you.

The property has a wrecked staircase, gaping holes and wiring hanging from the ceiling, rooms crammed with rubbish and a damp problem.

Auction House has advertised the "unsafe" home for prospective buyers who might "return it to its former glory".

In desperate need of a complete overhaul, the three-storey property has a rear extension and garden grounds.
