It's the sort of clean-up job for which a pair of rubber gloves, a bin bag and some well-applied elbow grease was never going to suffice.

But now a house once branded Britain's most disgusting that overflowed with beer bottles, filth and rubbish, has undergone an extraordinary transformation and is now on the market for £300,000.

Thousands of beer bottles, cans and plastic cartons were stacked in towering piles in the living room of the three-bedroom home.

From the outside, the home had a forgotten, even haunted impression with thick ivy running wild, snaking its way around the sides of the property and creeping over the roof and windows.

Stepping through the front door, potential buyers were met with a chaotic scene of newspapers, plastic bags, and assorted debris scattered everywhere.
