It looks like it could be home to the Addams Family.

Covered in vegetation, it strikes a chilling pose in Morfydd Street in Morriston, Swansea.

Now, one of the creepiest mansions in Wales is going up for auction.

Dunbar House, which is also known as Danbert House, dates back to the 1880s, and has been listed by Newport-based property auctioneers Paul Fosh auctions with a guide price of £62,000+.

This is the latest in a long line of attempts to find a buyer for the property, which is subject to a pre-planning application for 15 flats.

In 2015 the property was sold at auction for £100,000 after Swansea Council forced the Australia-based owners to sell up, to recoup costs spent in maintaining the decaying building. The buyer's identity was not revealed.

It has also been advertised for sale for £149,950 previously.

In January, 2014, it was on a list of 20 listed sites 'at extreme' risk in Swansea.

The property was built for and probably designed by Daniel Edwards who lived between 1835 and 1915, and was a tinplate manufacturer in Morriston .

Matthew Jordan, of Paul Fosh Auctions, said: “This is a really amazing property with a fascinating history with links even stretching as far as down under in Australia.

"The once proud but now sadly seemingly neglected building was built and lived in, in the 1880s, by the former Swansea steel magnate Daniel Edwards but in recent years has become dilapidated and overgrown.

“The detached property in the heart of a residential area in Morriston, is arranged over basement, ground and upper floors and occupies a prominent corner position on Morfydd Street where it meets Glantawe Street in the suburb of Swansea.

“Access to the M4 at Junction 45 is approximately 1 mile to the north providing links to Cardiff and Bristol in the south east.

“The extremely interesting property offers wide scope for future use or redevelopment subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. We are advised that a pre-planning application was submitted to convert the building into 15 flats.”
