Property: £1m mansion in sought-after area up for grabs for bargain £550k – but it comes with a ‘huge catch’

A £1million mansion is up for grabs for just £550,000 – but potential buyers should be aware that the property comes with a huge catch. The impressive seven-bedroomed abode on posh Portia Avenue in Shirley, West Midlands, is only half finished so the new owner will need to get their hands dirty.

The huge detached house will boast a vaulted entrance hall, seven bedrooms, five bathrooms and a massive 46ft (14m) long open plan living room when complete. The kitchen diner will also open up to the vast garden at the rear which is surrounded by large trees offering complete privacy.
