AN END-OF-TERRACE house next to the River Severn in Worcester is up for auction with a guide price of £40,000 plus.
The vacant three-bedroom home in Hylton Road, which shows signs of neglect, is due to go under the hammer next week.
The freehold is up for sale to a new owner who will need to carry out a programme of renovation work after putting in a successful offer at or above the guide price when hundreds of properties go up for sale.

Front and rear gardens and a garage to the rear make the property, being put under the hammer by Auction House London, a good prospect for a family home.
