A homeowner in the western English city of Bristol has reportedly pulled out of the sale of her house at the last minute after a work by the mysterious street artist Banksy appeared on the side of it.

The owner of the house called off the sale a week before completion, her son Nicholas Makin told British broadcaster ITV News.
