This seven bedroom house is on the market for £1 - but there's a catch

This seven bedroom Newcastle home is on the market for £1 - but there's a slight catch.

Estate agency Pattinson have the 'property' listed as up for auction on their website.

But on close inspection, all is not as it seems.

In fact, the home is a vintage doll's house and it's being sold off for a very good cause.

The beautifully crafted item is due to be auctioned off at Kingston Park Rugby Ground at 5.30pm all in the name of the Sunshine Fund .

The Chronicle's charity helps to purchase specialist equipment for local disabled children when they can't get it on the NHS and they rely on your donations to do it.

Here's how the vendor describes the 'property': "The house has been in the Pattinson family for several years but is now available to purchase via auction.

"The accommodation briefly comprises substantial entrance hallway giving access to the three reception rooms and kitchen to the rear.

"The first floor has a stunning gallery landing leading to the four good sized bedrooms. There are also three attic bedrooms."

So, not the bargain you first thought but still well worth a look.
