The cannabis farm was spread across five rooms of the property and the Cannabis Dismantling Team have since made the address safe.
Detectives are now on the hunt for those who were running the farm.
Matt Brown, head of the Cannabis Dismantling Team said: "Thanks to our officers, a large cannabis farm is no longer putting the community at risk of fire and flood, as well as violence and criminal exploitation.
“No law abiding person wants to live next-door to such death-traps and we do all we can to make the streets safer.
"Keep your eyes, ears and noses open to the signs that cannabis is being grown where you live and work and we will keep taking action. All information helps the work we do, so make us aware and we'll be there."
Anyone with information on suspected drug production or criminal activity in their community can contact @MerPolCC, call 101 or come forward anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
