ONE lucky house-hunter could snag themselves a two-bedroom end-of-terrace home for just £68,000 – but there’s a catch.
The “deceptively spacious” property with two reception rooms is one of the most affordable houses on the market in South Derbyshire for one reason.

It sits in a great location in Woodville, South Derbyshire, close to schools, parks and countryside walks, yet prospective buyers should be warned it’s a little bit too good to be true.
Inside, the house seems to be stuck in a time-warp with faded 1980s decor.
The Zoopla listing is not wrong that the vintage-looking home is “in need of upgrading yet offering great potential”.
Buyers who feel ready for the challenge of renovating will have to battle with the outdated decoration.
In the old-fashioned living room and bedrooms, the carpets, curtains and wallpaper are embellished with swirling patterns.
Two fireplaces have a dated design and the unfinished kitchen seems to have a lino floor in the photos.
There is an old lean-to conservatory that looks in need of a good lick of paint and some more fashionable tiling.
Upstairs, a brown fringed lampshade hangs in the larger bedroom which is carpeted by not only a bold carpet, but also an enormous rug in clashing colours.

The second bedroom appears to have a blue floor and textured wallpaper, whereas the plain bathroom is just black and white with stripped floor boards.
A photo of the outside view shows a fence missing panels and one tiny window on the side wall.
The ample sized property is being sold by auction with a starting price of £68,000 and can currently be viewed on property website Zoopla.
It has on street parking outside and has no upward chain, meaning you could make it yours immediately.
It has a front walled fore garden with steps leading to the front door but there is no rear garden and there is a pedestrian right of way across the rear of the adjoining properties.
