A TERRACED family home described as "too good to be true" has gone on the market for the bargain price of £29,950.

The two-bed on Rydal Street in Hartlepool is for sale at just a fifth of the average cost of properties in the town.

Not going to auction and is actually for sale at that bargain price, whoever gets their hands on the home will have on street parking, double glazing, infrastructure for central heating - and a private garden.

However, it has been described as the perfect investment opportunity as it does need a "fair bit of work" doing to it.

The extremely honest listing says its decor is dated and that it could do with a new kitchen and bathroom suite, as well as flooring.

The listing goes on to say: "The property has a small back garden and all the rooms are a good size, so it would suit a young professional commuting to Hartlepool centre or Stockton.

"And there's future investment coming with regeneration plans being designed to bring more jobs to the area."
