Rubbish filled fife house
The home went up for auction on Friday

A Fife house crammed with years of rubbish has sold at auction for over £60,000, more than double the guide price.

Auctioneers sold the Glenrothes property on Friday for £64,250 – 60% above the asking price.

The lucky bidder is understood to be a local buyer who plans to renovate the property before moving in.

Pictures released before the auction show huge piles of rubbish strewn throughout the home, with every room cluttered with waste.

The winning bid was thought to have come from a local buyer

The two bedroom, one bathroom property was believed to be the cheapest on the market in Glenrothes before going up for auction.
