Despite the kitchen set consisting of bland wooden cupboards, the homeowner was not put off and decided to immediately snap it up.
On her @thestylepad_uk account, she showed how her helpful husband removed it from the previous house and installed it in their own home.
The woman shared: 'My husband did ours. He's not a builder but is very handy!
'Would you believe me if I said the oven was included in the £50 deal?'

After they had installed the wooden units, they painted it from dull wood to a gorgeous olive green colour.
The woman wrote: 'I primed and then did two coats of "The Tobacconist" by @COAT Paints.'
Currently you can pick up a tub of the paint for £30, and the finished result certainly looks worth it.
Next the homeowners spruced up their counters and went for 'compact laminate' in a marble design.
The woman wrote: 'We've had them in 6 months and no problems so far, so fingers crossed.'
The woman showed off the finished result in her new video, which has racked up over 84,000 likes.

She advised: 'Make sure there are MORE cabinets than you need. You can always take away (we used a couple of cabinets as wood for other projects), but you can't add!'
Thankfully hundreds of people 'liked' her post, and many rushed to praise the incredible before and after shots in the comments.
One said: 'THAT oven as well!!!! what a bargain. it's absolutely stunning!'
Another added: 'What a husband (this is my first time complementing one)'
With the average three-bedroom home renovation costing upwards of £83,000 in 2023, it's no wonder more and more Brits are getting savvy.
