Who said you need millions to buy a grand historic home with space and style in abundance? The ultimate property bargain, this incredible period house is currently on the market with Preservation North Carolina for less than the price of a new car. 

The abandoned house is located in the city of Henderson, North Carolina, and was built by Hillman Barnes around 1860. The property replaced the site's original home, which burned down in the 1830s. In 1919, Barnes’ granddaughter, Nellie, moved the house to an adjacent piece of land that she owned. She also added a two-storey rear wing and updated a few of the fireplaces to more fashionable Craftsman mantels.

Offering a 2,950-square-foot interior, the bargain historic home boasts interesting architectural features, including wide overhanging eaves, corner fluted pilasters, wide beaded architraving, mouldings and fine six-panelled doors. As well as an inviting entrance hall, the home also features numerous living spaces, a kitchen, bathroom and several bedrooms.

If you've got $5,000 (£3.7k) in the bank, then the Hillman Barnes House could soon be yours. But there is a catch. The house is positioned on land very near to the I-85, which is being developed into a corporate park, so the property needs to be relocated to a new plot. Are you up to the task?

It's hard to believe that for just $45,000 (£33k) you could bag yourself a grand 1,597-square-foot home, but this charming colonial property is on the market for just that. Located in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, the unique historic residence was built in the 1920s and has all the hallmarks of the perfect family home.

With its attractive façade and spacious garden, the house is certainly enticing. Step through the front door and you'll be greeted by cosy rooms with plenty of potential. From bricks fireplaces and cast iron radiators to hardwood floors and sash windows, there's no denying that this historic home has style.

Across the property's interior, you'll find a decaying kitchen, a dining room, a living room and a sunroom, which would make the perfect home office or playroom. Upstairs there are four spacious bedrooms and one full bathroom. There's even a large basement that could be renovated and turned into a guest suite, gym or movie theatre.

The property is being sold as it appears, which means the new owner won't just gain a spacious and characterful home, but all the interior fixtures and furnishings that are currently strewn across the house. This includes an old piano, china crockery and even some retro vinyl records that are currently littering the bathroom floor. If you've got the imagination to transform this abandoned building then act fast because it's likely to be snapped up quickly!

Known as The R. J. and Lizzie Dunning House, this spacious and stylish property could make for one seriously impressive family home – all it needs is a little love. Located in the town of Aulander, North Carolina, the historic residence dates back to around 1880 and has a long and fascinating back story.

The endangered historic property was built for R. J. Dunning, the grandson of Sam Dunning, one of the original land grant holders of the area who was an important historic figure in the region. He was also the brother of Andrew Dunning, who renamed Aulander in 1885, making this house an integral part of the town's history. 

The historic home benefits from a 1,930-square-foot interior spread across two floors. As well as a half-acre lot and a huge wraparound porch, the buyer will also gain a stunning central hall with a beautiful dog-leg staircase, several living rooms, a dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom. 

What's more, every room boasts stunning period elements that are waiting to be restored. Key details include unique diagonal and herringbone beadboard sheathing, original fireplace mantels and heart pine floors. Although some renovation work has already been started, the property requires a complete overhaul, including all new plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems. If you're keen to rescue this gem, it's currently for sale with Preservation North Carolina for a mere $49,000 (£36k).

Despite its history, beauty and size, this grand Victorian home in Winchester, Indiana, is currently up for grabs for just $49,900 (£36.7k). It was constructed in 1877 by Adam Hirsch as a wedding present for his daughter. Quite the gift, this impeccable home is just crying out to be brought back from the brink.

While the home's exterior boasts plenty of kerb appeal thanks to its unique symmetrical dormers, brick façade and oversized sash windows, the interior is spacious and light-filled. Spanning 1,800 square feet across three floors, it provides ample room for a large family. The charming brick home could even be transformed into a bed and breakfast.

Inside, you'll find an unusual layout. In more recent years, the property was transformed into apartments, resulting in two kitchens, numerous living rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There's even a huge basement that's waiting to be converted into additional living space. Yet with some elbow grease, the building could easily be turned back into a single family home. 

Of course, thanks to the home's age, there are plenty of eye-catching period features throughout. From timber wainscotting to Victorian light fixtures, original fireplaces, hardwood floors and sash windows, there's much to love about this historic property. All it needs is a cash injection and it could be transformed into one seriously stunning home.
