Dilapidated old shed on sale for eye-watering price – but is it really a bargain?

A SHED has gone on sale for an astonishing £20,000 – but it could turn out to be a secret bargain.

The tiny property in Bewdley, Worcestershire, seems to be an absolute rip off and is being sold via auction next month.

However, the eye-watering sum may turn out to be a shrewd piece of business for those keen to purchase the solitary detached garage.

Prospective buyers of the shed could easily knock it down and build whatever they fancy on the land left behind.

The property is a battered old building and on its last legs, so why not start afresh?

While there would of course be building costs to start from scratch, in the long term this might turn out to be of far greater benefit to any buyer.

It is also well located with the property being just a five minute drive from the town centre of Bewdley.

The listing on Rightmove reads: “Lot two is located on the opposite side of the road to Wyre Cottage and provides a single detached garage and parking space for the dwelling, or alternatively a stand-alone parking facility.

“The garage is of timber construction with a tiled roof.”

The property will be auctioned off by Nock Deighton Agricultural at 5pm on April 4.
