Ever dreamed of owning your own heritage-listed mansion on the other side of the world? An online auction house has listed a huge French-Gothic style building in Arbroath, Scotland – and bids start at just £1.

The A-Listed two-storey property is a former hotel, The Elms, which operated until World War II when it was requisitioned by the War Office, before becoming a children’s home.

Although it’s in “poor condition throughout” and listed on the “buildings at risk” register, National Property Auctions describes it as a “fantastic development opportunity.”

At one stage it had approval for conversion into six flats and five houses, but council permission has since expired.

The NPA states: “These impressive homes are suited to a variety of buyer types looking for a well located home with straightforward access to local amenities”.

Interested in a grand renovation? The property goes to auction on July 17, 2020.
