At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a residential area of Swansea known for its distinctive mock-Tudor facades boasting timber beams, Homes Under the Hammer's presenter Martin Roberts found a two-bed semi-detached house that, despite its rather tired exterior, he rather liked the look of.
The timber beams had seen better days, with Martin describing the state of them as 'not good at all' and inside he found evidence that the house had not been a home for some time - a mountain of unclaimed post and marketing fliers.
The kitchen at the front was compact but had potential and the single reception room at the rear had space for two sofas and a dining table and chairs in one corner. In this room it is where Martin first glimpsed the garden, or, more accurately, the jungle.
