A substantial three-bedroom house on Market Street, Whitland, offering generous living space and an enclosed rear garden. The property retains attractive traditional features—wooden staircase, period detailing and bay-style windows—making it a strong renovation project for a family seeking long-term potential. There is a working mains gas boiler and double glazing, which reduce immediate expenditure on basic services.
The house has seen some improvements in recent years but still requires further refurbishment and modernization throughout. The staircase shows plaster and water damage that will need repair; overall the property would benefit from a comprehensive program of updating to bathroom, kitchen and internal finishes. Broadband speeds are limited and the property sits in a very deprived area, factors to weigh for remote working or resale timing.
Practical details: the sale will be by online auction with a guide price of £80,000–£85,000 and a buyers’ administration fee of £1,200 (inc. VAT) payable on completion. Council Tax Band D, freehold, vacant possession available. For families, the location is convenient — short walks to primary and secondary schools, the train station, High Street shops and local health services. The south coast beaches are about eight miles away.
This is an honest project opportunity: good bones, traditional character and a large garden, but requiring clear commitment, budget and time to complete. Buyers should consult the legal pack and factor in refurbishment costs, slow broadband and the buyer’s auction fee when considering their bid.
