A lovely two-bed house is poised to go under the hammer and is yours for just £12,000.

It will go on sale in an auction in several days time, but it is not in a bad state for such knockdown price.

The end terrace home in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, would be expected to be in a bad way considering its bargain basement price tag.

But the reverse is actually the case and the property, which is quite spacous inside, is in good condition and in move-in condition.

A large budget would not be needed for renovations and only a few touch-ups would be required.

The property, sold as an 'exciting investment opportunity' but comes with tenants who have packed its rooms with junk which almost reaches the ceiling.

On the face of it, the terraced house in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, looks a steal for an asking price in excess of £70,000 and the chance to recoup cash through rent payments.

The freehold property's master bedroom has an overflowing chest of drawers and the second bedroom is piled high with drawers and boxes.

Its kitchen has food squeezed next to containers and utensils that litter the counter tops and the bath even has an upside-down Pot Noodle tub on its edge.
