*Cave residence for auction

Ever wanted to live in a cave? Well, now is your chance. Halls Estate Agents of Kidderminster will tomorrow auction Rock Cottage, which is hewn out of a sandstone cliff near Wolverley, Worcestershire. It was last occupied in the late 1940s.

The cottage has no electricity or water supply but boasts a front door, windows and fireplaces, as well as a pantry, sitting room and a bedroom., but it comes complete with three adjoining caves and also nearly five acres of mixed woodland and garden land.

The guide price of £25,000 sounds like a bargain. I predict that it will double that estimate.
