A five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brynmawr, near Ebbw Vale, has been listed for online auction with a guide price of just £15,000, leaving many to question why such a spacious property is so affordable. The answer lies in its condition: the home requires a full renovation to bring it back to life, though it could sell for more at auction.
Hidden Space and Tardis-Like Appeal
From the front, the property appears to be a standard two-storey terrace, but it actually spans four levels, including a hidden lower ground floor only visible from the back garden and a large attic with conversion potential. The house offers five bedrooms, four reception rooms, a kitchen, dining room, numerous storage spaces, a spooky cellar, utility room, two separate toilets, a family bathroom, and two huge attic rooms.
Quirky Features and Past Life
The property also boasts quirky extras, such as a safe hidden in a storage cupboard, another safe embedded in a wall from its days as a shop, and a sink tucked under the attic stairs. These unique elements add character to the already sprawling floorplan.
Auction Details and Potential
Gemma Vaughan, from Paul Fosh Auctions, described the property as an exciting opportunity for investors or home makers to add significant value. She noted its potential for multi-generational living, investment, or conversion, subject to planning permissions. The auction will take place online from 12 noon on Tuesday, June 23, ending from 2pm on Thursday, June 25.
Located in Brynmawr, the house is close to local amenities and benefits from excellent transport links via the A465 Heads of the Valley Road, providing access to Abergavenny, Merthyr Tydfil, Ebbw Vale, and beyond.
