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.

Huge 80ft penis on baseball field is visible from space
An enormous penis has been spotted on a baseball field in the US. The 80ft by 50ft knob was seen on the grass at Cochen Harry Ballfield in McDonough, Georgia. The penis is so large it was picked up by a satellite and is visible on Google Maps. The member, which was discovered by James Barnes, is 188 times larger than the average erect penis, which is comparatively tiny 13cm. How the phallus ended up there is anyone's guess. The grass appears to be worn away, revealing the soil in the shape of the male appendage only a few feet away from several hotels. Metro can reveal that the baseball artwork appeared on Google Earth in 2022, but it seems to no longer be there now. Google Earth images from 2023 and 2024 shows the field is back to all green, with no penis in sight. Google users even made it a five-star tourist attraction, with one reviewer saying: 'Great place to just kick back and take a load off.' Another added: 'It is nice, but would look bigger if they trimmed the hedges.' Whoever is behind the cheeky stunt has just one-upped a German school for penis size. More Trending A 20m long phallic drawing was seemingly painted on top of the Waldorf School in the Kreuzberg district in Berlin in February. The white appendage even had the edges painted over in a not-so-discreet attempt to conceal the crude artwork. Metro revealed that satellite images showed the penis appeared sometime between March and July 2022.

Fire shuts down Grand Central with ‘mass' cancelations as 100 firefighters rush in to battle flames and smoke
OVER 100 firefighters have rushed to Grand Central after fire and smoke filled the station, halting all trains. Trains have been suspended, streets blocked, and emergency responders are flooding the scene after thick smoke was spotted in the train station in New York City. 3 A two-alarm fire broke out at Grand Central Terminal Credit: X/FDNY 3 The fire and smoke led to widespread disruptions on the Long Island Rail Road Credit: X/FDNY 3 Trains were suspended at Grand Central Terminal The disruption has unfolded near Grand Central Place in Midtown Manhattan, officials said. The New York City Fire Department confirmed it received the first report of smoke at 8:08 am. Dozens of firefighters rushed to the scene to control the smoke pouring out of the tunnel. FDNY Commissioner Robert S. Tucker later confirmed four people were hurt, three firefighters and one civilian. Tucker said crews faced 'zero visibility' as they searched through thick smoke for the flames. 'There was a significant amount of fire in the room where the fire started,' he said during a press update. Initially, 60 firefighters responded to the emergency, according to officials. But the response escalated quickly as the situation worsened inside the tunnel. By 10:16 am, a second alarm had been transmitted, bringing the total to more than 100 emergency responders, both firefighters and EMS, at the scene. Authorities are warning travelers to avoid the area and brace for major delays. Dad and daughter, 9, die in house fire as sister, 11, fighting for life in hospital The FDNY said to "expect traffic delays, road closures, mass transit disruptions & emergency personnel" around the station and instructed people to use alternate routes if they can. 'Use alternate routes,' they added. The Long Island Rail Road was hit hard by the emergency response. Port Washington Branch service into Grand Central was suspended due to the fire activity, MTA said. Train Lines Affected Babylon City Terminal Zone Hempstead Far Rockaway Port Jefferson Port Washington Ronkonkoma West Hemptead Other lines saw westbound trains canceled at Jamaica Station or rerouted to Penn Station or Atlantic Terminal.

DIY jobs Brits hate the most revealed including leaky taps and cleaning behind the fridge
Scroll down to see the full list DIY DITHER DIY jobs Brits hate the most revealed including leaky taps and cleaning behind the fridge Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE most-postponed home maintenance jobs in British homes include servicing boilers, clearing gutters, and cleaning behind the fridge. A poll of 2,000 homeowners revealed the top 20 overlooked tasks around the home, with replacing shower heads, draught-proofing doors and windows, and cleaning vents and fans also featuring on the list. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The DIY jobs Brits hate the most have been revealed Credit: Alamy It emerged more than one in 10 (12 per cent) think about these jobs on a daily basis – even if they rarely get around to actually doing them. And 20 per cent admitted they care more about how their house looks than the maintenance below the surface. Nearly a third (31 per cent) prioritise aesthetic tasks like painting walls or hanging pictures over functional ones like bleeding radiators or servicing boilers. Jessica Rawstron, engineer at British Gas, which commissioned the research, said: 'Keeping on top of the little things around the house might not seem urgent, but it can save homeowners a lot of time, money, and stress in the long run. Read more money DAD-ICATED LOVE The top 10 ways dads show love from doing DIY to sending an iconic emoji 'Summer can be a good time to catch up on home maintenance tasks that have been forgotten or delayed, with boiler servicing a prime example – especially before colder weather returns. 'Think of it as an MOT for your boiler – it helps identify and resolve any potential problems early, and by booking one in the summer you can have peace of mind that your heating is in full working order before you need it during the colder months.' According to the research, two thirds of respondents would only take action on a home maintenance task if the problem became visible. And 38 per cent of people who have had something go wrong around the home had been putting off fixing it for ages, only for it to then break completely – with 31 per cent of people who have put off a job admitting this left them with a bigger, costlier problem down the line. The top reasons people put off these little jobs are lack of skills (27 per cent), the cost (26 per cent), and a lack of time (25 per cent). But 21 per cent of those polled via OnePoll worry about making the issue worse, while 15 per cent have looked at the weather forecast and decided to wait for a different day. British Gas has created a home maintenance checklist to give homeowners handy reminders for when tasks need doing throughout the year – whether that's the best time to bleed radiators or a date in the diary to sense check the thermostat settings and consider a smart tech upgrade. Spokesperson Jessica added: 'A dripping tap or a patch of damp may seem minor now but left unchecked they can quickly turn into much bigger, and more expensive, problems. 'Regular maintenance not only protects your property but also helps preserve its value. 'Whether you own or rent, staying on top of small fixes is one of the simplest ways to avoid nasty surprises and keep your home running reliably and efficiently. 'With seasonal offers available, summer is a sensible time to make sure everything's in good working order before colder weather returns.'
