The two-storey semi-detached house located in Stoke, Plymouth is now on the market for double the price it was auctioned for in 2021.
At this time, thick ivy could also be seen growing out of control on the home's exterior, wrapping around its side, along the roof and windows.
Pictures previously revealed how thousands of beer bottles, cans, plastic bags, newspapers and other debris once filled its rooms.
The floor was completely covered with carrier bags, milk cartons, old food packaging from the living room to kitchen, as well as upstairs.
Some rooms were not even possible to access as debris piled on the floors and furniture.
The house has now undergone a major transformation becoming a stunning family home, with three vibrant bedrooms and a modern kitchen.
It follows its previous auctioning off in November 2021, where bidding started at £110,000.
Despite the rubbish that had accumulated throughout the property, it received offers in £5,000 increments from buyers.
A proxy bid finally brought the auction to £145,000.
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 re-wiring.
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".
The Style Sisters Top 3 Decluttering Tips
Charlotte Reddington and Gemma Lilly have over 15 years experience decluttering and organising celebrity homes...
Out with the old, before in with the new
"It may sound a little ruthless but a one in, one out rule in your home and wardrobe can be effective to avoid over accumulating items in your home," they said.
"It can also make you more mindful about the purchases you are making."
Categorise and contain
"In any space, however big or small – from a utility room to your make-up box - organising items by category is the perfect way to keeping super organised," they said.
"This allows you to know exactly where everything is and what you've got.
"Plus, it will make it super easy for the rest of the household to put away and keep tidy."
Storage, storage and more storage!
"Storage is key, especially if space is an issue in the home or if the room is used for items like storing toys for children," they said.
"Consider decorative storage baskets, side boards with plenty of storage or even a media wall or bookshelves with doors."
