South-facing bungalow with big renovation potential near Newtown.
Detached 3-bedroom bungalow with conservatory and loft conversion potential
A detached three-bedroom bungalow set on an elevated plot in Aberhafesp, offering superb south-facing views over the Severn Valley. The single-storey layout includes lounge, dining room, kitchen, conservatory, bathroom, attached garage and front parking. The loft has scope for conversion subject to consents, providing clear potential to increase living space.
The property requires complete renovation throughout — cosmetic and likely mechanical works are needed (internal finishes peeling, dated fixtures, and ageing services). Buyers should factor in full refurbishment costs and the council tax described as expensive. There are useful practical assets: a garage with power, parking, and front and rear gardens.
Positioned around 3.5 miles from Newtown and Caersws, the bungalow suits a buyer seeking rural privacy with reasonable access to market-town amenities. Broadband is reported fast and flood risk is low, but the hamlet is in a remoter, very deprived area with average mobile signal and very low crime.
The property will be sold via online auction (proposed date 9 October 2025). A buyer’s premium of 1.5% plus VAT (1.8% inc. VAT) applies — for example, at the guide price of £160,000 a fee of £2,880 is payable in addition to the purchase price. Prospective bidders must register in advance and provide ID for anti-money-laundering checks.
