In its current state of disrepair, it is hard to believe that this far from glamorous one-bedroom home for sale is surrounded by celebrity homes.

Famous neighbours have included the Sex Pistol’s late Sid Vicious and Boy George.

The current owner of the derelict property is an elderly man who still lives in the house and is considered ‘a legend’ in the area, having regularly partied with the likes of Sid Vicious. 

This property in London’s affluent Pindock Mews in West London’s Maida Value is on the market for £2.5m

But the property in London’s affluent Pindock Mews in West London’s Maida Value has since fallen into a state of disrepair and needs a complete renovation.

The property has been for sale for £2.5million and the asking price has not been reduced since it was first listed in June 2016.

The estate agent handling the sale is Marlon Lloyd Malcolm, of Lurot Brand, who described the property as ‘beautifully derelict’.

He exclusively told MailOnline Property: ‘The property is so romantic due to its character and history, it is one of a kind.’

He went on to explain: ‘The current planning permission is due to expire at the end of this year. But it could be worth £3.5million and extend across 2,300 square feet if at least £350,000 was spent on it.’
