Cornish mine risk house auctioned for £32k

A house put up for auction for £1,000 because of “serious mining issues” nearby, has been sold for £32,000.
West Country Property Auctions said buyers had to consider the house in a disused mining area in Redruth, Cornwall could collapse at anytime.

Four years ago a couple abandoned their home when a 200ft (61m) mine shaft opened up and swallowed their lawn.

The house was bought on Wednesday by a self-confessed “eccentric” who bid from behind a tall plant.
