The property was auctioned off in November 2021, where the bidding started at £110,000 ($A230,000).
Despite the rubbish that had accumulated throughout the property, it received offers in £5,000 ($A10,400) increments from buyers.
A proxy bid finally brought the auction to £145,000 ($A303,000).
Following its makeover, the property is back on the market for just over double the price.
The current owner has turned the home into an ample living space with a large corner garden.
There is also a large loft area above bedrooms two and three, which could be converted into a further two rooms with the necessary planning permissions.
As the property description states: 'Upon entering, you are greeted by a bright and airy open-plan lounge/diner, perfect for entertaining or relaxing with the family.
'The newly fitted kitchen/breakfast room is a true highlight, boasting contemporary units and ample space for culinary creations.'
The property has also been given a new roof, plumbing, gas central heating and a complete rewiring.
On top of that, doors and architraves, skirting and some floors have been sanded back to their original wood.
It is due to go on the market via Purplebricks after once being dubbed 'Britain's most cluttered house'.

Belmont home joins $2m+ club in post-auction sale
A modern, architect-designed residence has become the third house to sell for more than $2m in Belmont. The four-bedroom house designed by Dylan Barber Building Design and built in 2019 by TVD Group sold for $2.075m after being passed in at Saturday's auction. The 826sq m Downshire Rd property attracted interest from two bidders, who opened the auction at $1.92m before the auction closed at $2.05m. Amazing off-grid farmhouse cuts cord to power bills Buxton Highton agent Tony Moorfoot had listed the four-bedroom residence. He declined to speak after the auction. The home showcases a contemporary design using high-end fixtures and light-filled indoor-outdoor living in the residence that uses a mixture of building materials. The contemporary facade uses reclaimed brick and timber finishes, with a central hallway leading through the length of the home that showcases polished concrete floors, 3.4m ceilings, an internal brick feature wall and ambient lighting. The house zones the main bedroom suite at the front, with three more bedrooms in a separate wing centred on a main bathroom. At the centre is an open-plan living zone comprising a high-end stone kitchen, dining and living areas that opens to a deck in an internal courtyard and a separate covered outdoor patio complete with an outdoor kitchen with a concrete benchtop, built-in barbecue, drinks fridge and sink. The expansive outdoor living area allows dining and living zones and overlooks a solar-heated in-ground pool complete with remote-controlled feature lighting. The property offers extensive family space, including an area with synthetic turf area and a separate basketball area, equipped with a basketball ring. The garden has fruit trees, and passionfruit vines, all maintained by an automated watering system. Geelong buyers advocate Tony Slack said the riverside pocket of Belmont was the best part of the suburb for buyers looking to be close to Newtown. Belmont has one of Geelong's biggest suburbs with more than 240 sales recorded in the past 12 months with a median house price of $700,000. 'This was an exceptional home as far as build quality goes. And we know of you're going to be spending the best part of $2m, that's the precinct,' Mr Slack said. 'It was an architect designed home and it was substantial in size and to also have the pool and the outdoor area and the basketball court, so as far as ticking boxes it really had everything a family was looking for in a top-end home.' The home was the third house to sell for more than $2m in Belmont. Downshire Rd is close to Barwon River parkland. The most expensive sale is a three-bedroom house on a 1604sq m Mount Pleasant Rd property, which sold for $2.2m in 2022. The first $2m-plus sale was in Leonard St in 2021.

Tradie trowels $1.2m of microcement into dream reno
A renderer's home transformed with $1.2 million of microcement covering walls, floors, ceilings and even custom-built furniture will go under the hammer in Robina. Matthew Mannion, of Render Render, bought the 1980s-built home for $1.44m in July last year and, with a team of tradies, spent at least 12,000 hours hand-trowelling more than 2,500 sq m of finely coated concrete to create a seamless, modern look. The six-bedroom, three-bathroom home at 7 Turnberry Ct is marketed by Ray White Malan + Co agent, Ricky Agent, and goes to auction on September 12. No-reserve auction tipped to spark bidding frenzy Mr Mannion said he aimed to create a 'statement home' with built-in cabinetry, bespoke LED lighting, and resort-style outdoor entertaining and wellness zones. The property also features three bars, which will be fully stocked for the new owner with 60 bottles of Mortimer Wines, Burleigh Brewing beer, and 18 bottles of Sunny Days Vodka. 'I wanted to create a real statement in the area, and I reckon we've done that,' Mr Mannion said. 'It probably took me seven months, working 60 hours per week with six other guys to microcement it – but I love the finished product. 'It makes people's mouths drop when they walk in. 'I personally love the pool and bbq area – when the sun sets every afternoon, it pierces right through the palm tree and it's just magic,' he said. The home on an 883 sqm block has a kitchen with rendered island bench and Smeg appliances, two media rooms, and a fully equipped gym with a massage chair, ice bath, and sauna. A hidden door opens into a double master bedroom with built-in king bed niches, Venetian plaster bedheads, and rendered ensuites. 'It's a real showstopper,' Mr Agent said. 'There's nothing else like it in Robina – it's a once-only opportunity to secure a truly unique property. 'It could suit a young family, prize home company or influencers. Let's face it, nothing will hit the market like this again.' PropTrack data shows house prices in Robina were up 11 per cent to a median of $1.35m.

AFL star Darcy Tucker's $350k St Kilda East property play
Bayside-style living without the bayside price tag has made St Kilda East the perfect match for North Melbourne player Darcy Tucker and his partner Ellie Morish. Tucker, 27, joined North Melbourne in 2023 after 108 games with Fremantle, having been drafted at pick 27 in the 2015 national draft. The versatile defender made his AFL debut in 2016 and has since built a reputation for his consistency, toughness and ability to shut down dangerous opponents. Shock reason two-bed unit had buyers fly in The couple moved into the inner-city suburb after six months of searching, drawn by its unbeatable location and a price tag almost $350,000 lower than neighbouring bayside postcodes and said it's all about location. 'We're right in the middle of everything, a short stroll to Chapel St, High St, some of the best restaurants in Melbourne,' they said. 'The centrality is unbeatable.' Having lived in Albert Park for years, Ellie said she was well aware of the gap in values between St Kilda East and similar suburbs. 'I track the market very closely so I knew exactly what we were stepping into,' she said. 'We bought an architecturally designed Victorian home that's brand new and finished without compromise. 'In Albert Park or Prahran, something similar would be hundreds of thousands more.' For Darcy, the move also made sense from a practical perspective with the drive to Arden St quicker than when the couple was in Albert Park. 'Public transport here is excellent too, when the Metro Tunnel opens, he could even take a train straight across the city if he wanted to Arden.' The pair have quickly settled into the community, with the couple agreeing Alma Park 'the best dog park in Melbourne. 'It's just five minutes from home we also take regular visits to our local favourite The Wall on Carlisle Street for coffee,' Ellie said. 'Darcy's away a lot with football and I've never felt unsafe here. And with Melbourne tipped for a market upswing in the coming years, she expects St Kilda East's time could be soon. 'When Prahran and Armadale get to that point where buyers are priced out, they'll come here,' Ellie said. 'We're a long way off upsizing, but I know when the market catches on, this will be the perfect springboard for our next property.'
