Home stuck in 1970s timewarp to be auctioned for just £29k

A home seemingly frozen in time back in the 1970s has gone on the market with a retro asking price.

The three-bedroom terrace property in Swannington Street, Burton has been described in marketing material as having an 'interior that time forgot', with the walls adorned in garish décor from the era that has managed to survive almost half a century untouched.

It is currently listed on property website Zoopla with a groovy low guide price of £29,000, reports Staffordshire Live.

Viewers might want to remember their sunglasses before they step foot in the living room however, as there are two lots of very bold patterned wallpaper.

One brown around the chimney breast and on the opposite wall there is another in burgundy. The kitchen is looking somewhat dated too, as are the three bedrooms.

A Zoopla spokesman said: "A vacant freehold three bedroom town-house located in the highly sought after area of Burton-on-Trent. The property consists of two reception rooms, kitchen, family bathroom, three well proportioned bedrooms as well as front and rear gardens.

"The property would make an excellent owner occupier or investment property having local amenities and transport links close by. Burton-on-Trent is a market town in Staffordshire England, close to the border with Derbyshire.

"Burton is 11 miles (18 km) southwest of Derby, 27 miles (43 km) northwest of Leicester, 28 miles (45 km) west-southwest of Nottingham and 20 miles (32 km) south of the southern entrance to the Peak District National Park."

Last year, estate agents listing a 1961 built bungalow in High Stanghow, North Yorkshire said they hoped its new buyer would keep updates to a minimum so it remained a 'time capsule house' to be enjoyed by future generations.

The colourful £185,000 wooden framed bungalow was built as a dream home by Mr Wright, who looked to Swedish design to create something radical for the time.
