"I bought an abandoned 'one euro' house in Italy and transformed it into a dream home"
A woman who bought an abandoned house in Italy for just £4,400 has transformed it into a dream home - and it's now worth £250,000. Meredith Tabbone, 43, bought the run-down property on a whim after hearing councils in rural Sicily were auctioning off derelict houses with a one euro starting bid to help regenerate the village.
