FILE PICTURE - The house on Walkers Heath Road in Kings Norton, Birmingham, when it was taken over by foliage and has now been cleared - Pictured is neighbour Vivienne Attwood. Release date ??? June 11, 2025. Residents have spoke of their relief after an overgrown house left swallowed up by nature was finally cleared up - after 40 YEARS. Locals previously described the nightmare at living by the "eyesore" end-terraced property, which was left under a blanket of foliage after being overtaken by trees, weeds and ivy. The home, in King's Norton Birmingham, was rendered virtually invisible after its "nature-loving??? owner neglected to cut back the plants, which then grew out of control for decades. Last year, the three bedroomed property on Walkers Heath Road was sold at auction for ??150,000 after the previous homeowner, aged in her 90s, went to live in a care home. Startling before and after pictures show how it's now been turned into two neat rental flats following a monumental gardening job to remove the huge mass of greenery. Neighbour Vivienne Attwood, who previously described it as like living 'next to West Midlands Safari Park', said: "It looks a hell of a lot better that's for sure. "The new landlord came in and then with the help of a couple of friends they were able to clear it all up in a couple of months.???
