This three-bedroom semi-detached house has lots of potential as a lovely family home and has gone on the market for just £20,000.

Prospective buyers be warned, though, it will need some serious work to get it up to scratch.

The property would be ideal for a couple or small family just starting out on the property ladder, but is in desperate need of some TLC.

In a prime location in Erdington, Birmingham, it boasts excellent links to the city centre and a good selection of local shops.

There are a good selection of schools nearby and is a ten-minute walk from popular beauty spot, Witton Lakes.

The house has a large back garden perfect for children to play in along with an impressive conservatory.

The only problem is that it is in disrepair, with stripped-out rooms, bare floorboards and peeling paint.

The kitchen has no fittings and the house is completely unfurnished.

The property has recently been listed for auction with a reserve price of £20,000 – way below the average house price in the city of £278,496.

Nestled on a corner plot in Ripley Grove, the house boasts a hallway, reception room, bathroom and three bedrooms and garage.
