An eight-bedroom house in Cromwell Street, Gloucestershire, has been listed for £375,000. The property is located near the former home of Fred and Rose West, known as the 'House of Horrors', which was demolished in 1996. The estate agent's listing acknowledges the street's 'historic notoriety' and advises buyers to make their own enquiries.
The three-storey building includes seven bedrooms in the main house, two reception rooms, a kitchen, and a ground-floor shower room. There is also a cellar that could be converted into additional living space. The property has two shower rooms across the first and second floors, and a self-contained studio flat at the rear with its own entrance and garden, described as 'ideal for a rental income or flexible living'.
Previously used as a house of multiple occupation (HMO), the licence expired in April last year. The home has been freshly painted and fitted with new carpets, but estate agent Keller Williams notes it requires 'further refurbishment to reach its full potential'. It offers off-road parking and is close to Gloucester Quays shopping and leisure area.
The Wests murdered at least 12 young women between 1967 and 1987, burying bodies in the garden and cellar of their home. Fred West died in prison in 1995, and Rose West is serving a life sentence for ten murders. A garden and footpath now occupy the site of their former home.
