A residence that was involved in the fatal incident of Russian Novichok poisoning is now up for sale at a price of £114,000. The property, formerly owned by ex-spy Sergei Skripal, where he and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with the nerve agent in March 2018, is now listed on the market.
Dawn Sturgess tragically passed away four months after being exposed to the poison unknowingly through a perfume bottle. A joint report from intelligence agencies concluded that the attack was orchestrated by Russian military intelligence, a claim consistently denied by the Kremlin.
The three-bedroom house, now available on Rightmove, is described as a modern family home situated in a convenient yet secluded residential area. Features of the property include a recently renovated kitchen, solar panels, parking space for three cars, a spacious backyard, and close proximity to schools and transportation links.
The estate agents, Carter & May, highlighted the ground floor’s layout, comprising a large reception room, a modern kitchen with sleek cabinetry, a utility room, and a cloakroom. Upstairs, there are three well-sized bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom, offering flexibility in layout to suit various preferences.
Prospective buyers are informed that the property was part of the Novichok incident in 2018, but it underwent an extensive decontamination process following the attack before being deemed safe for residential use. The listing emphasizes that the house has been improved over the years and has had other occupants since the decontamination.
Interested buyers can acquire a 30% share of the property for £114,000 through a shared ownership scheme facilitated by Wiltshire Council, with an option to increase ownership up to 75%. Monthly rent for the remaining share is set at £559.52.
The house has been made available for sale to potential buyers looking for a modern and well-maintained family home with a history of past events that have been addressed and resolved.
