An Isle of Wight house situated on the edge of a landslip area has sold at auction — for more than its £10 guide price.

The semi-detached property is mere metres away from the landslip-hit Leeson Road in Ventnor.

Listed through First for Auctions, the vacant two-bedroom home was available for cash buyers only.

Although close to the landslip site, the auctioneers said it had sustained 'only minor structural damage' but is in need of refurbishment.
