Top of the Ivy league! House covered to the INSIDE with creepers gets the chop of its life | Mail Online

A house smothered from top to bottom in so much ivy that only the chimney was visible has been given a new lease of life after receiving a massive haircut.

The detached three-bedroom property in Chelmsford, Essex was put up for sale last year and would normally have fetched £350,000, but the ivy coverage meant agents were asking for offers of over £120,000.

The home's previous owner had left the ivy untouched for 20 years, allowing it to cover the whole property - including all the windows.

Unchecked, it had even penetrated inside the house. All passers-by could see was a mass of leaves and - if you peered - the shape of a house.
