An A-Listed country mansion that’s being sold in an online auction could be yours for as little as £1.
Designed in the French Gothic style, The Elms in Arbroath was built in the 19th century.
But there’s a catch.
The auctioneers describe the building as being in a “poor” state – and it features on the Buildings at Risk Register.
National Property Auctions recommends anyone thinking of making a bid should take legal advice first.
Managing director Mandi Cooper said: “This property is a massive opportunity for a developer to restore the building to its former glory.
“The Elms was built for the mill-owning Corsar family. It operated as a hotel until World War II, when it was requisitioned by the War Office, before becoming a children’s home.”
The lack of a reserve price means that if £1 is the highest bid, the mansion will sell for that.
Bids must be made at nationalpropertyauctions.co.uk by 11am on July 17.
