A three-bedroom house in Cheshire has caught the eyes of North West house-hunters for all the wrong reasons.
You don’t get many semi-detached family homes coming on the market for only £90,000 in the highly-sought-after region of Cheshire, so it’s understandable that this three-bedroom property would have grabbed the attention of people currently on the property search in Widnes.
The average price of a home in the industrial town on the banks of the River Mersey will set you back around £180,000 – so £90,000 really is a steal.
But it’s not really the value for money that’s got people talking, though.
It’s the crumbling walls with ripped and stripped-back wallpaper, boarded-up windows, filthy floors, overgrown gardens, rubbish scattered from top to bottom, and just about everything in between.

Not every property listed on leading property website Rightmove must be in a ready-to-move condition, and it’s not uncommon for ‘project’ houses to be advertised to property developers or those prepared to take on the work – but a house in this state really isn’t something you see very often.
It’s not hard to see why people have branded the property as being in a “horrendous state” on social media.

Despite rubbish piled high in every room and dirty plates strewn across the un-wiped kitchen sides though, according to the Daily Mail, optimistic estate agents are confident of attracting a buyer.
They are urging “keen-eyed investors” to snap up the property.
In the description for the property on Rightmove, estate agents said: “This good-sized three-bedroom semi-detached home sits in a popular location close to several highly-regarded schools, a variety of stores and some excellent transport links.

“Whilst in need of a complete renovation, this home comes with bags of potential.
“The living areas are bright and roomy, it’s nicely laid out, the three bedrooms are well proportioned, it has a decent sized bathroom, and a sizeable garden plot with lots of promise.”

The exceptionally-priced property also boasts an entrance hall, lounge and kitchen, as well as both front and rear gardens, and off-street parking too, so it’s not all bad.
We’re sure somebody with a bit of imagination can make this home thrive in the future.

A sustainable vintage fashion shop and kilo sale is popping up in a Greater Manchester town in a couple of days time.
And all the proceeds will go to a very-worthy charity.
Merely weeks after the UK’s largest vintage market descended on the iconic Victoria Baths in Manchester city centre, another sustainable fashion event will be popping up in one of the region’s popular shopping centres for the month.
British Heart Foundation will be hosting a brand-new pop-up shop and vintage kilo sale, where you can buy clothing and other goods at a fixed price per kilogram, in Stretford town centre.
Opening its doors this Saturday (5 April), the charity will be taking over the vacant unit that’s next door to JD Sports to provide the Stretford community with a charity shop filled with all sorts of vintage goods and thrifty finds.
Visitors will be able to sift through shelves stacked with major brands at bargain prices, making it the perfect way to sustainably stock up on wardrobe staples and revamp ready for spring.

Running right through until 19 April, this venture is set to be a massively-valuable new addition to Stretford town centre.

Jack Grealish dedicates first league goal in 16 months to late brother on anniversary of his death
Danny Jones
Manchester City star Jack Grealish held back the tears following his first Premier League goal in more than 16 months, but not in relief after breaking the duck, because it came on a very emotional day for him and his family.
The Man City and England midfielder opened the scoring in the Blues’ 2-0 win against Leicester City on Wednesday night, bringing an end to his goal drought after a total of 473 days.
But what made it even more special is that the game happened to coincide with the anniversary of his late brother Keelan’s death.
Speaking in his post-match interview after picking up the man of the match award, Grealish was in a noticeably quieter mood than his usual charismatic self before revealing that the day marked the 25th anniversary of his younger sibling’s death.

The 29-year-old went on to reveal that the date coincided with Keelan’s passing and acknowledged that it’s “hard on the family but [I’m] happy to score”.
His mum and dad, Karen and Kevin, were up in the stands; it doesn’t need explaining why scoring in that particular moment was so special for all of them.
Clearly stirred by addressing what was a bittersweet occasion, he signed off by adding, “To score and to win was brilliant.”
Keelan Daniel Grealish was just nine months old when he tragically passed away from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) back in 2000 – ‘Super Jack’ was just four at the time.
Paying tribute on social media after the game, the comments below his post were filled with love and support.
Besides the goal itself, the former Aston Villa star was keen to reiterate that he was never brought to the club to score bags of goals and “has a lot more to offer” than just hitting the back of the net.
Touching on his Grealish’s game and the tribute to Keelan during his post-match duties, manager Pep Guardiola went on to add: “Jack is an incredible human being; in terms of gestures and for the other people, he’s incredibly generous.
“I didn’t know that [it was the anniversary of his brother’s death]. I can’t imagine how tough it could be for mum, dad, sister, and all the family. It’s good on this day to remember him, I’m pretty sure they remember every single day.”
A lovely moment from a much-loved character around the Eithad Stadium as well as up and down the country. Rest in peace, Keelan.
