Take a look inside the £235,000 home which no one can view because it's too dangerous to enter
Welcome to Lavender Cottage.
Lost to time the abandoned home is on the market for £235,000 but prospective buyers are barred from exploring - because the building just isn’t safe.
These images capture a property slowly being reclaimed by nature as undergrowth obscures much of the house.
Would-be buyers are thought to have been put off as they would have to make a blind offer due to the precarious state of the building stopping anyone going inside.
But these exclusive pictures, taken with special permission, show the "exciting development opportunity" that awaits potential suitors in St Agnes, Cornwall.
The cottage is on the market with Camel Homes who, in their brochure for the property asks: “Have you got the imagination to turn this derelict property into the home of your dreams?”
Located on a main road, the house is barely visible except for the roof and chimney which poke above an overgrown hedge.
Surrounding the cottage is a thicket of brambles, and access can only be made by crawling on your hands and knees.
The cottage is small, and the ground floor split in half by a staircase dividing what was once a lounge and a kitchen, leading upstairs to where there was once two bedrooms.
The cottage features on historic maps dating back to 1875.
As well as the main part of the cottage, there is an outhouse attached which can only be accessed through a two foot by one and half foot window.
