If you're looking to get into the renovation industry, then we may have the perfect cottage for you. Although, it's not one for the faint-hearted.

Dorset Live report that a cottage covered in ivy and infested in mould and damp is looking to be rescued and restored by a brand new owner. It's a two-bed property and placed on the market for just £200,000 by estate agents Mayfair Town and Country.

Based on East Street in Beaminster, Dorset it has been described as a “chocolate box Hamstone cottage”, the property is covered in foliage and described as being in a “poor condition”. Buyers are being asked to look at the potential of the cottage and how the property could be modernised and renovated.

Its large sitting room and dining area appear to have mould on its walls, damp patches, peeling wallpaper and debris scattered across the carpeted room. The area could be turned into a “potentially cosy” living room with two windows and a repaired fireplace.

Its kitchen, which is accessible from the living room, is not in a good state either with further damp and dirty flooring, but has some fixed cabinets and spaces for oven cooker and washing machine.

The property’s bathroom is tucked under the stairs with some limited head height, with a toilet and shower. Moving upstairs are the two bedrooms which are also in a poor state, with peeled wallpaper, exposed walls and mould growing on the walls.

The cottage has a level front garden, with hedges, shrubbery, grass and walls and can be tinkered to the buyer’s vision. Interested buyers can view the property by appointment but are advised to “please enter with care at your own risk”.
