But you might fancy it anyway, as it is going for just £38,000.

This semi-detached three bedroom house in Telford is a bargain – if you are prepared for A LOT of DIY – as houses in the area normally sell for £150,000 to £250,000.

The potential buyer will have a task on their hands though as the property requires an extensive refurbishment.

Photos of the house show the extent of the work required, with the walls and floors needing a complete revamp, and it will need a new set of windows and doors as they are currently boarded up with wood panels. Once purchased, the house can certainly be transformed into a great looking property, especially if utilising it’s potential for an extension and make use of the garage
