A rundown home bought for £59,000 at auction has been completely transformed - almost doubling its value. The 170-year-old mid-terrace property, in Ironville, outside Nottingham, featured on today’s Homes Under the Hammer.
Ironville was built by the Butterley iron works company around 1830 as a model village to house its workers. The three-bedroom property featured on the BBC One show went to auction in December 2020 with a guide price of just £25,000+.
Presenter Martin Roberts, on a visit to the property, noted that the front room was feeling ‘a little damp’. The surfaces, including the walls and floors, were all ‘covered in something squishy and horrible’.
