Call for 'Blockheads' to bring their tool belt and repair $500,000 home

You could channel your inner “Blockhead” with a renovator’s project that requires “a lot of elbow grease”.

Agents of Ray White Bensville are encouraging fans of Nine’s renovation series The Block to “BYO tool belt” and help transform a shack that’s suffered “years of neglect”.

The three-bedroom weatherboard property at 18 Emma Street in Bensville, New South Wales, is said to “desperately need some creative vision”.

“The years of neglect are evident but the potential is huge, so if you’re looking for your own Blockhead project they don’t come much better than this!” the listing states.

Scheduled to go to auction on Saturday January 28, the one-bathroom property has a price guide of $500,000 and will no doubt require extra funds for a chic renovation.

Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the two-story home occupies around 493 square metres and lacks kerb appeal with loose boards and rubbish piled up outside.

The interiors are also crying out for a revamp with floorboards and tiles that have lost their sheen, basic cabinetry in the kitchen and scuffed walls.

However, there is potential with the property just a short stroll to the water in the Central Coast region’s quiet enclave.
