They discovered the place was crammed full of cannabis plants in every single room, with a full hydroponics growing system in place.
The property was also found to have dangerous wiring as the electricity supply was bypassed to provide the light that the system needed.
Police had to call in the National Grid to turn off the main supply for almost 45 minutes while the electricity was made safe again. They have apologised to nearby homes for the disruption.
No arrests have yet been made and investigations are ongoing to identify the suspects responsible for the cannabis factory.
