House hunters were left somewhat surprised after after discovering a seemingly ordinary terrace up for sale is actually hiding a former cannabis farm – equipped with a giant ‘grow room’.

The property in Liverpool, being listed for sale on Rightmove by London-based McHugh & Co, has caused quite a stir after being listed at a guide price of £25,000.

Images of the property, which became available on last month, ahead of an auction this month, showed the two-bedroom terrace to have a double bay window on the front, a small kitchen that needs renovating, and what appears to be a former cannabis farm.

The former tenants seem to have transformed the property into a drug-making facility, with most rooms shown on the listing buried in equipment to stimulate plant growth.

Photographs show the interior walls covered in reflective silver material, accompanied by what appears to be large carbon filters on the ceiling, while, the carpets are littered with an array of discarded plant pots and green bags of waste are piled up in the bathroom.

Merseyside Police confirmed that a cannabis farm was found and seized from the property on 24 November last year, although no arrests were made.

The property listing describes the two-bedroom home as ‘requiring modernisation’.
