A historic semi-detached village house in Trecastle is on the auction market with a guide price of just £5,000.

The one-bedroom property, known as Glebe House, retains many original features but is in need of significant refurbishment. It is being offered through Paul Fosh Auctions next week, alongside more than 100 other lots.

Sean Roper, of Paul Fosh Auctions, said: “The end terrace house offers a wealth of opportunities for the new owner with vision. It’s in a great part of marvellous scenic mid Wales in the picturesque village of Trecastle which is not far from the vibrant market town of Brecon with all its culture, history, commerce and attractions.

“This large traditional property offers a new owner a wonderful opportunity to enjoy village life in the very heart of the Brecon Beacons. It would be perfect for a first-time buyer, downsizers or perhaps those looking for a countryside retreat.

“Glebe House retains many original features including a marvellous standout flagstone floored rear basement or garage with the remains of a large fireplace.

“The property features an open plan living area and kitchen, an intriguing under stairs cupboard or pantry and a small side room. Upstairs, there is a bathroom and a large single bedroom which could potentially be split to form an additional bedroom.

“This property is clearly in need of modernisation, but has the potential to become a lovely home. It could also, alternatively, be kept as a weekend end away bolt hole or converted for use for holiday rental.

“If renovated to a good standard the property could comfortably sleep four or six with the addition of a sofa bed. Similar size properties on Airbnb and Booking.com are advertised at around £1,000 - £1,200 per week during the peak season, and around £600 - £800 during off peak.

“This property represents a rare opportunity to purchase a delightful home in a sought-after rural location. Viewing is recommended.”

The auction begins at 12 midday on Tuesday, March 10, and will continue until 5pm on Thursday, March 12. Full details are available at: www.paulfoshauctions.com
