A compact Victorian one-bedroom cottage with direct views over the River Dee, offered freehold and sold at online auction. The property is attractively positioned in the village of Carrog with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and an allocated parking bay close by. Interiors are small but characterful, with quarry and slate flooring and a multi-fuel burner in the lounge.
This is a straightforward opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance village home or a holiday let near Llangollen. The house benefits from UPVC double glazing, mains drainage, an EICR dated 2025 and off-street parking. Flood risk is recorded as no risk and local crime levels are very low.
Buyers should note the compact total size (approximately 314 sq ft), low ceilings in parts of the house, and electric heating which can increase running costs compared with gas. The sale is by auction: a 5% deposit plus a buyers’ premium (5% + VAT, minimum £5,000 + VAT) is payable on the fall of the hammer, with contracts exchanged and completion required within 28 days. Review the legal pack for any additional costs and special conditions before bidding.
For anyone looking to personalise a small riverside cottage, this property offers immediate occupation and clear potential, but budget for potential upgrading and factor auction timing and purchase costs into your decision.
