A property linked to the infamous Russian Novichok poisoning incident, involving former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, is now up for sale at the price of £114,000. The house, located in Salisbury, was the site of the nerve agent attack in March 2018 that left the Skripals critically ill. Tragically, Dawn Sturgess, who later died from exposure to the poison, had a connection to the property as well.
The property, a three-bedroom house previously owned by the Skripals, is currently listed on Rightmove as a contemporary family home in a discreet residential location. The house features a modern kitchen, solar panels, parking for three cars, a spacious rear garden, and close proximity to schools and transportation options.
According to the real estate agency Carter & May, the property includes a welcoming entrance leading to a sizable reception room, a modern kitchen with updated features, a utility room, and a cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are three well-sized bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom, offering flexibility for potential buyers.
Despite its dark past, the house has undergone extensive decontamination procedures following the Novichok attack and has since been declared safe for habitation. The property has seen improvements over the years and is now available for shared ownership through Wiltshire Council.
Interested buyers have the opportunity to purchase a 30% share of the property for £114,000, with an option to increase ownership up to 75% in the future. The remaining share can be rented for £559.52 per month. The listing notes the property’s history related to the Novichok incident but emphasizes the property’s suitability for prospective buyers.
