A BRADFORD district house with green mouldy walls and a 'jungle' garden was given a makeover which featured on a popular TV show.

The three-bedroom end terrace near Shipley with a green wall in its living room and overgrown front and back gardens was included on BBC One's Homes Under The Hammer.

Show presenter Martel Maxwell gave viewers an initial tour of the rundown property, which had been unoccupied for five years, before it was sold at auction.

During the visit, she was struck by the green wall at the back of the large, ground floor living room, which she said showed signs of years of damp damage.

She also uncovered black spots on the walls of the ground floor rooms, which showed the same thing, and described the kitchen as tired and quite small.

Martel also uncovered a whole in one of the bedroom's ceilings and leafy patterned carpets.

She said: "The wall is problematic. No matter how quirky it is, I think a mouldy wall is not going to catch on.

"This house requires a large dose of TLC and tame the jungle that is presently overgrown. This could be wonderful."

The house was sold at an online auction on April 28 last year for £100,000, which was its guide price.

It was bought by Tom, who runs a signs and graphics business, and his son-in-law, Steven, a builder, and it was their third property renovation project together.

They seemed unfazed by the task ahead of them and planned to knock down the green, mouldy wall to build an open plan kitchen dinner. They also hired a mini digger to tackle the jungle back garden.

The pair also knocked down a partition room in the upstairs which separated the toilet and washroom to create a bathroom.

They planned to renovate and then sell the property.

Both got to work on the project and were interviewed six months after buying it by Martel.

The pair spent a total of £32,000 on the renovation project, just £2,000 over their initial budget.

The 'jungle' had been tamed and the house was given a complete makeover.

Martel returned six months later to take a look at the finished property, adding: "It's fantastic. What a difference it makes."

Gail Wood, of Whitegates estate agents in Bradford, who paid an initial visit to the property before the work was carried out, valued the house after the pair's work was completed at £150,000 to £155,000 if it was sold.

The property was featured on yesterday's edition of the show, which is also presented by Dion Dublin and Martin Roberts.
