Abandoned four-bedroom cottage in Notting Hill is going on the market for a staggering price, but there's one big upside
- The four-bedroom house is located at the main entrance to Avondale Park in Notting Hill
- Agents Maskells Estates say the property needs a complete renovation
This abandoned house that has been empty for more than ten years and is in need of a complete renovation has come on the market.
The house, which is currently boarded up, is located next to Avondale Park in West London's famous Notting Hill harbour.
It was built as a park ranger's house. For any potential buyer, green fingers won't be enough to foot the bill as it's on offer for £1.75 million.
The new owner will have to budget for a complete restoration of the historic building, which is located in the Avondale Park Conservation Area.
This means that there are strict rules about what can be done with the property, so as not to visually damage the surroundings.
The house in Notting Hill is the former home of the groundkeeper for Avondale Park
The house, which is currently for sale for €1.75 million, is in a highly sought-after location
The house has an interior space of 1,028 square meters, has an external storage room and a small front and backyard. It is also located at the entrance to Avondale Park
According to Maskell's estates in London, the four-bedroom detached property has a floor area of 1,028 square meters and is available on freehold land.
Despite the huge price tag, there is only one bathroom.
The house sold in 2011 for £900,000 and again in 2015 for £1.75 million.
It is now listed with a guide price of £1.75 million.
According to the selling agents, the property is 'a unique opportunity' to purchase the detached house at the entrance to Avondale Park.
The sellers admit that it 'now needs a complete renovation'.
According to the listing: 'This unique home currently measures approximately 1,129 square meters, has small front and rear gardens and a range of external shops and provides a perfect blank canvas for an incoming buyer.'

It also falls within the H Council Tax band – which at current rates is a further £2,844 per year.
Avondale Park is on the doorstep of the house and a short distance from Holland Park and Notting Hill Gate
There are many bars and restaurants within a short distance of the property
