On the market for £400,000, Stanbourne House at Apley, between Bridgnorth and Broseley, enjoys a tranquil setting, surrounded by more than one acre of land. There isn't even a driveway or path up to the house.
However, a lot of work is needed before anyone can live there, with holes in the roof, no doors or windows, a crumbling chimney, and trees growing out the top.
In its listing, agents Balfours LLP say: "Situated within the rolling Shropshire Hills and close to the River Severn, Stanbourne House is a delightful character property which enjoys an attractive rural setting overlooking stunning countryside.
"The house is surrounded by circa 1.04 Acres (0.42Ha) with views from all aspects towards private woodland, pasture and the parkland setting of Willey Estate."
Despite its rural location, a mains water connection is on site, with an electric connection available on the nearby lane, while "an old septic tank so a sewage treatment plant will probably need to be implemented".
And, even though it's just a short distance from the River Severn, the flood risk is described as "very low".
