THE Salisbury home at the centre of the 2018 Novichok poisonings has gone back on the market with an asking price of £114,000 and a full disclosure about its past.
The three-bedroom link-detached property on Christie Miller Road is being marketed by Carter & May as a modern family home with a recently refurbished kitchen, solar panels, driveway parking for up to three cars and a “good-sized rear garden”.
However, prospective buyers are also informed that the property “was involved in the Novichok event that took place in 2018”.
The property became known around the world after former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with the military-grade nerve agent Novichok in March 2018.
Investigators concluded the highly toxic substance had been smeared onto the front door handle of the house before the pair were exposed. Both survived after lengthy treatment in hospital.
The attack later claimed the life of Dawn Sturgess, who died after unknowingly coming into contact with the discarded Novichok contained in what appeared to be a perfume bottle.
The house was subsequently decontaminated as part of one of the UK’s largest peacetime clean-up operations before eventually being returned to residential use.
The house is being sold on a shared ownership basis, with buyers able to purchase a 30% share for £114,000 before staircasing up to 75% ownership with Wiltshire Council. Rent on the remaining share is currently £559.52 a month.
Estate agents describe the property as occupying a “convenient, yet tucked-away residential position” around a mile from Salisbury city centre, with good access to schools, shops, public transport and the railway station.
