A three-bed house has hit the market for just £45,000 but there's one catch - the toilet looks like the murky mess made famous on Trainspotting.
The look has more than a passing resemblance to the drug-den Danny Boyle film which was splattered with unidentifiable brown sludge and with tiles hanging off the wall.
The Birmingham property appears to be your average semi from the front but head inside and it's a totally different story.
You too could live like Renton, Sick Boy and Spud if that's what floats your boat.
It has no carpet throughout and debris everywhere, it's definitely a place in desperate need of a clear up.

The house looks good from the outside but it is a different story once inside (Jam Press/Bond Wolfe)The hallway has stained walls and a bare stairwell and in the living room is a door off its hinges and is propped up against the wall.
Inside the grubby kitchen, it appears they're absolutely no cooking facilities.
There is a discarded energy drink can and some of the cupboard doors are falling off.
The smallest bedroom is rather thin and the surrounding walls have wallpaper peeling off.
The toilet in the same condition as the one in Trainspotting (Daily Record)In the other bedrooms these appear much larger in size but also contain grime and stains on each surrounding wall, with bare floor boards.
The overgrown garden is full of weeds and half a shed at the back.
But the bathroom is in a particular state, the sink is full with black scum and the toilet is filled with filth.
It resembles the famous scene from the 1996 film Trainspotting featuring Ewan McGregor's character Renton.
The garden is big but could do with a tidy up (Jam Press/Bond Wolfe)The house, in Birmingham, is being sold by Bond Wolfe and advertised via Rightmove.
The property listing reads "For sale by public auction on 30 March starting at 9am.

There's mess in the sitting room but it's not beyond repair (Jam Press/Bond Wolfe)Trainspotting director Boyle said that reality the bathroom set was anything but grimy.
“It was meticulously clean,” he said. “The set smelled really sweet — delicious, really, kind of like a confectionary. You could have licked the chocolate right off the bowl.”
He says Ewan McGregor should take credit for for selling the illusion that Renton flushed himself down the toilet.
“We used a half toilet and, when he slips down, there’s a slide on the other side,” he said. “Ewan claims it was his idea to twist around. It was great fun.”
