Mr Skripal and his daughter were rushed to hospital in a critical condition after coming into contact with Novichok, which was smeared on the door handle of their home, in March 2018. The former KGB agent was targeted by two members of the Kremlin's security service - who later went on Russian TV and claimed they had only visited the city for a trip to the cathedral. Although the Skripals recovered, local woman Dawn Sturgess later died after being exposed to a discarded perfume bottle which contained the deadly substance.  The property, in Christie Miller Road, is being offered as a part-ownership deal with Wiltshire Council where buyers will purchase 30 per cent of the house for £114,000.  They will pay an additional £559.52 in monthly rent to the council. The three-bedroom property was previously decontaminated by specialist army teams and refurbished by the council, before it was part sold in 2023. Located just one mile from the city centre, the house features a recently modernised kitchen and large living room, with images showing includes a large feature fish tank.
