A three-bedroom house has gone on the market for just £9,000 and it's perfect - as long as you're a DIY enthusiast.

The two-storey terraced pad looks unassuming from the outside, with a neat front garden, and large windows. But inside, it's a slightly different story. Pictures of the Birmingham home show a dated kitchen with a tired floor in need of replacements.

Upstairs, there are the bedrooms one of which is pictured, with a bright red feature wall and matching carpet. There is also a bathroom, not pictured on the listing. While the home isn't exactly move-in-day ready, it appears to be in relatively good shape particularly for the price tag.

The property also boasts a rear garden Again, the outside is in need of some TLC, with overgrown grass and plants, but has the potential to make a charming outdoor space. Out the back, there is then the garden, where it is greatly overgrown and has old, dirty, rotting wood seating.
