Derelict property in Wellington Crescent, Ramsgate, up for auction for first time in 60 years

A derelict property overcome with rubbish, with an abandoned car left in the garden, is up for sale.

The Ramsgate property has fallen into disrepair over the past twenty years, and will be going to auction with Taylor James Auction House later this month.

The dilapidated space is available to purchase as two separate lots for the first time in 60 years.

Pictures show the ceilings and wallpaper in poor condition, missing floorboards, and ditched items such as mattresses, a television and even a Christmas tree.

Auctioneer Russell Taylor says: “We are delighted to be offering these two very unique properties which admittedly have seen better days, however, they give the buyer the opportunity to add significant value whether it be converting to an HMO, flats, guesthouse or a single-family dwelling.”

“Their location is unrivalled, right on the seafront and it is extremely rare for these properties to come to market.”

Both Grade II-Listed properties, the sites at 25 and 26 Wellington Crescent are five-storys and mid-terrace.

Pictures show mounds of rubbish and pieces of furniture and crockery, stacked on top of each other.

The advert for the properties says a full refurbishment is needed at both sites due to the condition of both.

Two cookers covered in rust and cobwebs are also inside the properties.

Meanwhile, a car with a huge smash in the windscreen has been ditched in the overgrown garden.

Mr Taylor added: “Having fallen into disrepair over the last 20 years local residents will be happy that these two properties will be coming back into use and whoever is the purchaser may find a few surprises buried in the garden.”

Going to auction on Wednesday, January 31, the site at 25 Wellington Crescent is up for £375,000 plus while the lot at 26 Wellington Crescent will start bidding at £350,000.
