Inside Britain’s SMALLEST home that’s up for sale for just £30k – but there’s a catch
ONE of Britain’s smallest homes is up for sale for just £30k – and despite the stunning views, there’s a catch.
The ”unusual and quirky” cottage, listed Grade II by Cadw in 2001, overlooks a famous Welsh castle and dates back to 1841 and it needs lot of work.
The cottage could not be better located as it offers stunning views of Cardigan Bay, Llyn penisula, the edge of Snowdonia national Park and a breathtaking view of the historic Harlech Castle.
However, anyone looking to do up this small, detatched, mid-19th century cottage will need to spend a lot more than £30,000
There is very little left of the first floor remaining and the inner walls are mostly disintergrated.
No one has lived in this cottage for approximately 50 years and has only recently been used as a store room and workshop
According to the Cadw listing the property was repaired and re-roofed under a town scheme grant between 1996 and 1997, but until the bush above the cottage has been cut it is difficult to know the state of the roof from the outside.
Priced at just £30,000 this Grade II listed cottage could be a steal to anyone looking to start a project.
Called ‘Bryn Tirion’ the historic cottage is described by Tom Parry estate agents as a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity.
The cottage is now availabe with a guide price of £30,000.
The buying agents report the property as a “quaint, compact gem and a wonderful opportunity to be creative from a blank-canvas.”
They say the home has the potential to be a “unique holiday let in shepherd’s hut style, the most unusual little workplace, or just a space to unwind and re-charge your batteries away from everyday life.”
With time and care this abandoned property can be flipped to be beautiful retreat in one of the most remote parts in North Wales.
While it “could be many things to many people” as the estate agents say, it will be a large project for the person who decides to take it on.
For more information, you can view the listing on the estate agent’s website.
The work needed for this property seems minimal compared to the seemingly abandoned five bedroom house in Catford.
