Currently on the market for offers in the region of £45,000, the three-bedroom property on Ennerdale Avenue, Carlisle, is ready and waiting for the perfect owner to come along and give it a new lease of life.

The home offers a living room, dining kitchen and toilet on the ground floor, with the bedrooms and family bathroom on the first floor.

On top of the abundance of inside space, the property also boasts front, side and rear gardens – a special treat thanks to its corner plot.

But if you're interested in taking on this challenge, be quick – as due to hugely popular demand for the dream renovation project, best and final offers are due by 12pm today (January 13).
