Vandalised property Mill House on Tolney Lane, Newark, sells at Bond Wolf Auction for nearly £100,000 having been listed for £39,000

A unique and somewhat airy property on Tolney Lane in Newark has sold at auction having been listed for just £39,000.

People travelling between Newark and Nottingham via train may recognise Mill House, one of the area's original properties from before it became such an extensive Traveller site.

Going under the hammer on Wednesday, Bond Wolf Auction confirmed the vacant three-bed property sold for £81,000+.

Several internal walls have been damaged and there's a large hole in the property's front where the living room window used to be. However, some of the property's original features remain in tact.

Suzanne Randell, joint managing director for auctions at Bond Wolfe, said: "Due to the condition of the property, we would expect it to appeal to someone who likes a project such as a builder or property investor who would be happy to undertake the work to bring it back into habitable use."

The three-storey property features a two reception rooms and a kitchen diner on the ground floor, two bedrooms and a dressing room on the first floor, and another bedroom and a shower room on the second floor.
