THESE are the curious scenes inside an empty Worcester home that is due to be auctioned off for a guide price of £40,000 plus.
Inside the property, which lies close to the River Severn in Hylton Road, are scenes showing neglect but also the potential for a savvy developer to make a lucrative investment.
Only a few clues scattered around the interior hint at the end-of-terrace building’s past life.
They include patterned wallpaper peeling away upstairs, a picture of a dog howling into the night, a distinctive red lampshade and two fireplaces.
Cherry red rugs still lie in the reception.

The house incorporates a first floor with three bedrooms and ground floor with a reception, kitchen and bathroom.
Front and rear gardens and a garage to the rear are also part of the property, which is being put under the hammer by Auction House London along with 304 other lots.
Once refurbished, the new occupants at number 193 will find themselves close to shops, amenities and local parks.
Just across the Severn lies the Pitchcroft and city centre.
