The house in question (pictured below) is actually situated on Downing Street in Sutton in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, and simply shares a name with the Prime Minister’s primary residence. The Nottingham end of terrace property is 131 miles north of more famous counterpart.

The home, which requires 'general cosmetic improvement and upgrading', is being offered subject to tenancy with a guide price of just £40,000.

This three-storey Nottingham home undeniably lacks the glamour of its Westminster counterpart but does offer two double bedrooms, gas central heating and double glazing, all for an agreeably low asking price. It also offers around 670 square feet (sq ft) of space and contains a small courtyard garden at the rear.

The property is due to go under the hammer courtesy of Graham Penny Auctions Nottingham on September 4, 2014.
