"Even just glancing around, there are lots of signs of this place being shared by humans and canines. Downstairs loo has lots of scratch marks."

Martin said the main issue with the house was cosmetic so wouldn't have been too tricky for any new owners to renovate. The home was listed as £90,000 and was sold for £99,500 to recently retired couple, Katie and AJ.

Martin was impressed by the renovation project as they converted the home into a three bedroom property and said it was now valued at £175,000 - £185,000 after the refurbishment.
