The home
(Picture: PA)The former home of Sergei and Yulia Skripal will be bought by the local council more than two years after the Salisbury poisonings.
The house will be rebuilt and refurbished by Wiltshire Council before being put back on the market under a shared ownership scheme, the BBC reported.
Novichok, the deadly nerve agent used to poison the Skripals was first found in the home on Christie Miller road.
Sergei, a former KGB agent, lived at the home with his daughter, Yulia.
The Skripals were left seriously ill after coming into contact with the substance.
Wiltshire Police Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, who entered their home following the poisoning, was also treated after coming into contact with the substance and has since left the force.
Dawn Sturgess, 44, died after she and her partner Charlie Rowley fell ill in nearby Amesbury months later.
She had come into contact with a counterfeit Nina Ricci perfume bottle believed to have concealed the lethal chemical for use against the Skripals before it was discarded.
Two men known as Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov were named as suspects.
However, the pair returned to Russia.
