See inside rubbish-filled Fife house on sale for less than £40k

The rubbish filled house in Glenrothes, Fife
The house goes under the hammer next month.

House-hunters with an eye for a bargain in Fife could snap up this Glenrothes property on sale for just under £40,000.

The two-bed home with “excellent potential” on Alexander Road will be sold at auction in September with a guide price of £39,999.

It’s thought to be the cheapest property on the market in Glenrothes, but the lucky buyer who snaps up the house will have to brave the mountains of rubbish packed into every room.

Photographs from Auction House Scotland show the property has fallen into a state of disrepair, with junk littered throughout.

The house comprises a reception hall, leading to a large lounge and dining room along with a kitchen on the ground floor.

The cheap price means the house could be more affordable for first time buyers or others in Glenrothes who are normally priced out of the property market.

Mandi Cooper, managing director of Auction House Scotland said: “With a guide price of £39,999, this property has already been attracting a lot of attention ahead of our September auction.

Some rooms are tidier than others.

“Although requiring a complete refurbishment, it has excellent potential for a first-time buyer, investor or for those looking for a family home.”

The property is due to go under the hammer in Glasgow on Friday September 2, and anyone interested will be able to see inside during an open viewing on September 1 at 1pm.
