See inside: Derelict Hainford Hall Mansion going up for auction

A derelict Georgian mansion with 14 bedrooms and 13 acres is a blank canvas and ready for redevelopment. Formerly a car breaker’s yard, the grade II listed mansion house has stood empty for a number of years and is now ready for a complete makeover. The building, which is north of Norwich, has a guide price of between £475,000 and £550,000 and has had plenty of interest, according to the auctioneer. Although accommodation in the main hall would need refurbishment, it currently offers a reception hall, drawing room, dining room, study, kitchen, cellars, offices and cloakrooms on the ground floor and 11 bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. Upstairs, on the top floor, there are a further three bedrooms. Video: Jamie Honeywood
