A derelict house that commenters say you may need a ‘hazmat suit’ to go inside is set to be sold at auction – with a guide price of nearly £1m.
Photos show rooms inside the two-bed house in plush Camden Mews, north London, stuffed to the ceilings with rubbish.
The outside of the rundown corner house is also completely overgrown with plants, as though reclaimed by nature after being left for years.
An abandoned car, covered in leaves, is also seen on the off-road driveway.
However, despite its modest appearance, the end-of-terrace property is being sold at auction next month with a guide price of £925,000.
Auction House London say the house’s location means that even the most ‘unattractive, unappealing properties’ such as this hold ‘real promise’.
One commenter shared the listing with his followers, saying buyers would either have to be ‘brave’ or don a hazmat suit to view the property.
The property – 75 Camden Mews, in NW1 – is a freehold corner plot in one of London’s most desirable postcodes.
Despite its current condition as a ‘makeshift dumping ground’, Auction House London say the property has already drawn interest from developers and investors who recognise its potential.

Andrew Binstock, Auctioneer at Auction House London, said the property – which has been in one family’s ownership for the past 35 years – offers a ‘golden opportunity’ for redevelopment.
‘Yes, the images are extreme,’ he admitted. ‘But this is Camden NW1. In this location, even the most unattractive properties hold real promise.
‘It’s a freehold corner site and, for the right buyer, this is a golden opportunity to redevelop and create something truly special.
‘We’ve sold some of the most unappealing properties in the capital. It’s often the ones that need the most work that deliver the biggest return.

‘At auction, we don’t stage or sugar-coat. We trust buyers to look beyond the surface and recognise the potential.’
The house will be auctioned off next month, in Auction House London’s last sale of the year.
London writer Ian Visits shared a link for the property on his social media accounts, saying: ‘If you are feeling brave (and maybe own a hazmat suit), what’s left of the house under all this is having an open day for prospective buyers.’
