THIS one-bedroom flat in a trendy London area has hit the market for £325,000 – but prospective buyers are in for a big surprise.

Despite its popular location, the first-floor Stockwell flat is in dire need of modernisation.

While the flat’s exterior looks up-to-date, as you enter the property, you will be surrounded by beige and a gloomy atmosphere.

All of the rooms are flooded with damp-ridden walls aching to be fixed and repainted, scrappy floors and chipped ceilings.

The kitchen is in desperate need of new appliances and modern furniture.

And the living room needs to have its ceiling replastered, walls need repainting and clutter needs to be removed.

As you go up the stairs, you’re met with a bannister in need of replacement, and a hallway plastered in ancient, beige wallpaper and fuzzy carpet.

The exposed boiler pairs well with the unkept bath and tiles that appear to be blackening around the edges in the bathroom.

And the property also boasts a garden – with overflowing greenery and old benches.

Not to mention that the property’s EPC Rating is yet ‘to be confirmed’.

Despite the flat having two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a section of the garden, prospective buyers will have to take the time and money to renovate each room.

The flat does have some benefits – as it’s half a mile away from three Tube stations.

And you will need planning permission to develop the loft space – if you want to extend to make it your dream flat.

The double-bayed end of terrace property comprises two self-contained flats within a popular area south of A3 Clapham Road.

The flat is for sale by public auction and will be available to bid via public auction on February 17 at noon.
