This pigeon infested house is covered in grime and bird-droppings and could be one of the worst houses up for sale at the moment.
On Auction in Blackpool, Lancashire, the house has drawn attention online due to its squalid state and the fact its covered in rubbish and inhabited by pigeons, who have let loose all over the place. With a guide price of £65,000, the abode has three bedrooms, which, along with every other room in the house, are covered with old clothes and furniture strewn about, peeling walls and floors that are coming apart.
The bathroom's every surface is covered with a thick, black grime and the garden is completely overgrown. Requiring a complete and utter overhaul, anyone bidding for this house should expect to spend a fair amount of time - and money - fixing it up.

Covered in faeces from the pigeons who have been living there for years now, when dry, the droppings that contain bacteria, fungi, and parasites can become airborne, increasing the risk of inhalation and lung diseases such as histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and psittacosis. A suitable facemask must be worn at all times when cleaning it.

The property comprises an entrance hall, lounge/diner, kitchen, three bedrooms, and a bathroom. Externally, there is a garden to the rear.

Social media users shared their shock and ridiculed property online (Mediadrumimages/Rightmove)Johnbloon sarcastically commented: "Thank god it says "requires refurbishment" in the listing. I wouldn't have noticed otherwise," while Rude-Cover-8727 said: "Pigeons are the least of your worries here! I wonder what the story is about this place. It looks untouched for 30+ years and then it's recently become insecure. Could be a lovely house again with relative ease, I'd say."
