unsightliness
Offensive to behold
Unsightliness is the quality of being unpleasant to look at.
The word applies to physical ugliness or visual disorder: the unsightliness of the abandoned lot, regulations addressing the unsightliness of billboards along highways.
It carries a tone of mild formality, often appearing in official or bureaucratic contexts.
