It is a room that could have a view – but if so, there’s no way to get in to admire it. Or see whether the room contains treasures – or cobwebs.
The property measures 12sqm and is completely unaccessible.
So, for all its town centre location and riverside setting, its use is not so much restricted as non-existent. Bricked up on all sides, and suspended over an alleyway in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, not even the auctioneer, Victoria Reek of William H Brown, was able to get in and see it.
It was put up for sale by the local council with a guide price of £100. However, it went for just £1 yesterday – with no way of the buyer knowing whether they were quids in.

Will feel like a bargain until the first Council tax demand arrives. And then the council order for a dilapidated property… 🙂
Seriously though, the place could be stacked up with disgarded asbestos or other waste. Who knows? Never buy property without seeing it first.
‘Agency Insider’ makes a good point. I would have offered 10 times that:)
Come the day there is a redevelopment, that room might make a rather valuable ‘ransom strip’.
Why wasn’t it offered /bought by the owners of the adjacent properties ? They could’ve made good use of an extra room! But then you never know might be one of them afterall! Bridge Insurance could’ve used that Bridge !
‘Up a Blind Alley’ in more ways than one….
