Recently, a house on Hardington Road in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, has attracted the attention of home buyers. It's a three-story house, and videos taken by intermediaries show books piled up in almost every room in the house, and even its entrance corridors are stacked against the wall.
The British "Daily Mail" reported on the 22nd that the advertisement for the house to be listed for auction was marked "for sale", and the initial price was 125,000 pounds (equivalent to about 1.1 million yuan), but no one had yet bid. The auction will end next Friday.
Because the house is filled with books, netizens can't see the whole picture of it. And, if anyone buys it, they have to face a huge cleanup task.
The house has three bedrooms on the first floor, a large bathroom, and a hallway leading to the second floor. On the second floor is a large master bedroom with access to a top floor storage area.
There is a bookshelf on each wall of the living room, and all the space in the middle is filled with various novels.
The living room was piled high with books, making it impossible to get off your feet.
The pink bathtub in the center of the bathroom is surrounded by dozens of books and newspapers, and it is not clear from the pictures what the walkway from the doorway to the bathtub looks like. Netizens speculated that the original owner of the house may have been bathing and reading a book.
Say it's a bathroom, but it's more like a utility room.
The owner's single bed was also piled high with sundries, boxes and books.
The kitchen is one of the most "tidy" rooms in this suite. Here, you can finally see the color of the floor, and there are some workbenches and sinks for cooking. There is only one stool here, but even so, in this house, it is already "standing out".
The kitchen also looks like it has room to turn around.
As you can see from the pictures, there are some other items in the house that take up space, including old chairs and some broken furniture on the top floor. In most rooms, the floor is barely visible due to the large number of paper books and the large amount of debris scattered everywhere.
The above scene makes people wonder if there are really people living here?
The starting price of the house is 125,000 pounds, although no one has yet paid a higher price, but the agent has gone to great lengths to sell the house.
"Located in a highly sought after residential area, this three-storey home has an abundance of infrastructure surrounded by an abundance of green space. As the house is a bit old, it also needs a complete renovation. Due to the amount of work, the property can show its skills and allow new buyers to integrate their design concepts into the decoration. ”
The agent shared the video online, saying that "this video about the bibliophile's house provides an interesting viewing experience."
After seeing the current situation of the house, foreign netizens also called "Amazing" (shocking). At the same time, they also played their brains and commented on the witticisms related to books.
One netizen said: "I wonder if the homeowner will accept the booking to let potential buyers check it out, because it's the way it is, I can't 'read' the place." ”
Another said, "We should never judge a book by its cover, so we can't judge a house by its appearance." ”
Another quipped: "Put a wood-burning stove in it, and for the rest of your life, heating it won't cost you anything." ”
There are also comments from Chinese netizens: "Shushan has a road and a diligent path, but why can't I see where the road is." ”
"Buy this house and you get not just a house, you take over a bookstore for free!" Earn earned! ”
Such a house, bid 1.1 million yuan, if you, will you buy?
