The wee house has a price tag of just £15,000 and experts say it’s one of the cheapest in the country at the moment.
The two-bed, one-bathroom property also plays host to a decent-sized garden, kitchen and living room.
Zoopla’s Consumer Spokesman Daniel Copley told ChronicleLive: “This two up, two down is a great option for first-time buyers looking to get on the property ladder.
“It’s the perfect property for a buyer looking to make a property their own, just make sure you budget correctly as costs can quickly add up.”
Any while it’s labelled the “cheapest house in the country”, it still has plenty to offer.
The home may need a little TLC but still boasts an open fireplace in the living room and modern pine units in the kitchen.
