A son says has been left unable to sell his mother's £160,000 property to fund her care fees, blaming the 'eyesore' house next door.

John Kirby claims potential buyers have been deterred from purchasing the two-bedroom semi-detached house due to Denis Carbonaros' sculpture work, which he has likened to 'fly-tipping'.

Denis gained media attention in the past for attempting to build a 'sculpture park' in his front and back garden, beginning with a woolly mammoth and later adding a Spanish galleon in a tree, a spider, and a shrine during Covid.

However, 61-year-old John, who once admired Denis' earlier pieces, alleges that now his neighbour uses the garden as a dumping ground for various items, including shopping trolleys and prams, branding it 'modern art'.
