A property on Homes Under the Hammer that was initially described as having been "horribly wrong" underwent a major transformation after it was bought at auction.
The property, located in Hatton, within Warwickshire, featured on a previous episode of the popular BBC show, which was repeated on Thursday morning (March 9).
The show's presenter Martin Roberts, now 59, assessed the three-bedroom property before its renovation, with him identifying some problems at the cottage.
The property expert said the kitchen was "in need of some major works" and told viewers upon leaving that part of the house: "Then it really starts to go all a bit horribly wrong."
Martin pointed out a large hole in the floor, saying: "It looks to me like there's a serious issue going on there. Massive amounts of rot. You don't know whether that's spread to the joists of the floor in general. That worries me quite a lot."
The host also said he found signs of damp in the living room, which he later suggested had been caused by issues including a broken pipe on the outside of the property.
And although he was content with the size of one bedroom upstairs, which featured an original fireplace, he said that the other two bedrooms "don't quite work".
Martin summarised by saying that the "charming little house" was "oozing with character," though suggested that it would still need a fair amount of work doing on it.
Viewers were told that the house was bought at auction for £225,000 by property developer Vicky, who said she had previously worked on two other properties.
Vicky shared her plans to address the damp, tidy up the garden and renovate the home - including installing a new kitchen. She told Martin she had a budget of £40,000.
The show returned to the property more than two years later to see how the project had got on, with the home having been spruced up on the outside and inside.
The kitchen and bathroom had been updated. Like the other rooms in the property which had been redecorated, they featured a stylish design after being renovated.
The new kitchen was described by Vicky as her "favourite room". She mentioned that some of the chimney breast had been removed and the cooker had been fitted inside it.
Vicky - who was supported during the process by her dad Peter, who runs a construction company - said that the issue with damp had been resolved by another firm.
Martin seemed impressed by the transformation of the property, with him telling viewers: "It still does have a cottage-y look but it's now all crisp and contemporary."
A local estate agent - who had previously assessed the property - said it looked "completely different" after the renovation and said it could subsequently sell for £350,000.
Vicky - who said she had gone just over budget - expressed hope that she could get a little bit more for it. Martin later added that she had received a slightly higher offer.
Homes Under the Hammer airs weekdays on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 11.15am.
