An estate agent has claimed a four-bed house is a ‘rare purchase opportunity’ but some people have disagreed after taking the virtual tour.
The detached family home has gone on the market for £560,000 and is situated on Braidley Road near Bournemouth seafront.
The property has been described as ‘spacious’ and has three reception rooms, three bathrooms, a snug, utility room, and a double garage.
But photos of inside the home show it is in major need of refurbishment, with black mould caked on the walls of the bedrooms, which has part of its ceiling missing.
In the kitchen, insulation hangs from the ceiling which has its wooden joists exposed.
A Tesco bag full of rubbish dangles from one of the cooker’s knobs with crockery piled haphazardly on the draining board.
The house listing has appeared on internet message board Reddit, where users have reacted in dismay.
One described it as ‘the worst Rightmove listing I’ve seen in weeks’.

‘Picture 7 has come through my screen and given my house mould. Good God,’ they said.
Another said people who take the virtual tour would ‘need a scrub in the bath for a week after your eyes soak that up’.
‘I need a shower after those pics,’ one person quipped, to which a Reddit user replied: I wanted a full body suit and a gas mask/ breathing apparatus.
‘They keep coming back to the bathroom that’s been done up in a desperate attempt to cling to a shred of sanity.
‘Someone was using that kitchen. They have cleaning supplies and all. Desperately trying to pretend that everything is normal.’
The property is being marketed by Purplebricks, with the estate agent admitting in its description that the home is ‘in need of complete refurbishment’.
The description reads: ‘This home is offered for sale with no onward chain and presents an excellent opportunity for modernisation, making it an ideal choice for investors, developers or families seeking flexible living in the sought-after Meyrick Park area.’
