Historical home could be yours for £235,000 – but there’s a serious catch

THIS rather grand looking home could be yours for just £235,000 – but it comes with a significant catch.

The three-bedroom property is situated in the picturesque Welsh village of Llwyngwril, Merionethshire, and is a former chapel.

The agent for the semi-detached home is House Sales Direct who say the home still has its original features – which includes a pulpit right in the lounge.

On the ground floor there are three double bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Upstairs there is a stunning open plan living space comprising a kitchen, lounge and dining area.

The property comes with a number of original features and is close to local amenities.

Just across the road there are a number of riverside stores.

The local train station is only a four minute walk away.

Also nearby is Llwynwril beach.

The popular holiday destination of Fairbourne is only four miles away.

Tywyn is just a 15 minute drive away which has the prestigious high school Ysgol Uwchradd Tywyn, as well as a Coop, Spar, highly reviewed curry houses and a lovely beach.

Further afield is Aberystwyth, an hour and a half drive away while Porthmadog, which has stunning views and great walks is two hours away.

Elsewhere, a “time-warp” home recently went on the market for £1.3m after a dramatic transformation.

The sprawling seven-bedroom pad in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, became an eyesore after it was left to rot for years.

An anonymous buyer snapped up the dilapidated home in February last year for £363,000 and began works to revive the neglected mansion.

In another apparent bargain, two Welsh neighbouring cottages have gone on the market for the rock-bottom price of £129,000 – but once again there’s a significant catch.

The homes, which have been connected to create one big property, are scattered with rubbish and unusable furniture – both inside, and out.

They have holes in the floors and ceilings throughout, as well as peeling wallpaper and ripped up carpet and vinyl.

And while the cottages are uninhabitable, their price tag of £129,000 could make them a steal for someone who isn’t afraid to get their hands (very) dirty.
