The bungalow in a sought after spot up for sale at just £35k that is 'too dangerous to view'

A four-bedroom bungalow in one of the UK's most desirable locations is on the market for a mere £35,000 - but there's a catch. The property, located just a mile from St Ives in Cornwall, has an open mineshaft in its front garden.

The detached home is situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac in Carbis Bay, but directly in front of it is a large hole where a mineshaft opened up on its driveway. Following the incident last November, an emergency security fence was erected to protect residents and neighbours.

Now, almost a year later, the homeowners are asking for £35,000 for the property - with a warning that viewings will not be possible due to safety concerns.

Clive Emson auctioneers wrote: "The property comprises well proportioned accommodation, (although is subject to mining activity) which now requires remedial works.

"With this in mind, some may wish to consider replacement of the existing dwelling following demolition, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable."

The house includes a kitchen and dining area, living room, inner hallway, three bedrooms, one with en-suite, an office which was previously used as a bedroom, a shower room with W.C. and a conservatory. There's also a driveway leading to a single garage with a utility area, and gardens at the front and rear.

A copy of the mining documentation will be available in the legal pack which can be downloaded from the Clive Emson website. For more information, visit: https://www.cliveemson.co.uk/properties/252/150.
