A mansion in Tennessee that was badly charred in a fire has found a buyer after just four days on The Market .

Entrepreneur Mike Thakur said he has purchased the five-acre property, which has attracted More Than 340,000 views on Zillow and was listed for $1. 49m (£1. 21m), according to the Real Estate site.

The pair - Natives of North Manchester in the United Kingdom who now live in Houston, Texas with their three Children - had been searching for homes near Nashville , Tennessee when they came across the property.

Mr Thakur scheduled a visit of the home before its Zillow listing was shared over A Million times on Twitter, and within hours of touring The Mansion with His Family , they all agreed to place an offer.

" It's incredible, " He Said . " It's The House on The Top of The Hill . "

" We'd been looking for something we could kind of renovate and make Our Own , " he added. " I'm not sure we anticipated quite so many renovations, but we decided we'd go for The Challenge . "

He did not reveal how much The Family paid for the property.

The Mansion , located in The City of Franklin - About 21 miles (33km) south of Nashville - Burst into flames while a Construction Worker was inside the home last September, according to local news outlet WZTV Nashville .

The Flames caused The Roof to collapse before firefighters could quell it, according to WZTV, which reported that The Worker sustained non life-threatening injuries during The Blaze .

But the sprawling property has several features that make the home worth salvaging, according to the listing.

The Mansion , which was built in 1997, features a large outdoor kitchen and a backyard with a " private park like setting".

It also has a Guest House that was untouched by The Fire , where Mr Thakur said he and His Family will stay while they remake the home.

The property's listing agent, Paula Duvall, said she had " no idea" the listing would gain so much attention when she posted it. " We wanted to be transparent About the history of the home, " She Said .

She Said people have been able to relate to the emotion behind the pictures of The House taken The Day of The Fire . " I think that grabbed them, " She Said .

The damage did not bother Mr Thakur's family. He Said they expect they'll have to " rip out everything down to the studs".

" It sounds crazy, but for me it was almost a blessing because it gives us an excuse to pull everything down and rebuild it The Way that we want to, " He Said .

Mr Thakur said he wants to turn The Mansion into a more relaxed, English-style home where their teenagers could also live when they Get Married . He added that they hoped to salvage what they could.

They plan to document the transformation on Mr Thakur's YouTube channel, where he's already posted a brief tour of the debris-filled home.

" We're not house Flippers . . We're just A Family raiding the Piggy Banks , " He Said . " We're all pretty stoked. "
