Home sweet home — just watch your step!

A house in the UK is ready for a new rightful owner — that is if they’re willing to spend $408,000 and still be able to see through the floors.

A four-bedroom listing in Corby, Northamptonshire does not have a floorboard on the ground floor, meaning potential home buyers can see the concrete foundations below.

But the bedrooms are decently sized, plus two ground-floor bathrooms mean no lines to get ready in the morning.

Communicating with people upstairs right now won’t be an issue either as the second level does not have a floorboard, either.

The fixer-upper also has exposed brickwork and fireplaces — though they are just holes in the wall right now. It does, however, have a large lounge, dining room and kitchen.

But floors would need to be installed in order to fully enjoy the home’s amenities.

A study and utility room can also be found downstairs, but it should be noted that the home’s front door is boarded up. There’s a large, unfenced garden in the backyard, which is overgrown.

“Although, in need of full refurbishment, the potential to restore this home to its former beauty or to develop it further is a rare opportunity, indeed,” the property description reads.

“Planning permission was granted to extend the home already. The accommodation previously comprised of an entrance hall which gave access to the ground floor W.C., kitchen/utility, lounge, dining room/study/conservatory and to the first it comprised of four bedrooms and a family bathroom.”

“Outside, the garden offers great potential to all sides and would allow for a side/rear extension and also an extension to the rear for further parking,” it continues.

One other caveat? The purchase is for cash-only buyers.
