This mid-terrace Victorian cottage offers a straightforward renovation project in Maesteg’s Hearts Of Oak Cottages. With three bedrooms and roughly 862 sq ft, the house is a compact family home or buy-to-let candidate with obvious scope to modernise and add value. The property benefits from mains gas central heating and a private rear garden for outdoor space.
The house is being sold by the Modern Method of Auction. An undisclosed reserve, a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of price, minimum £6,600 including VAT) and buyer’s fees apply — bidders must complete due diligence and be comfortable with auction conditions and the 56-day completion timescale. The property is Freehold and currently in need of renovation; surveys are strongly recommended.
Constructed around 1900–1929 from traditional stone, the walls are assumed uninsulated and the home will require modernisation to improve energy efficiency and comfort. The rear garden is a useful outdoor asset but the overall plot is small; expect work on interiors, possible rewiring/upgrades and garden clearance. Local amenities, good transport links, walking and cycling routes are nearby.
This home suits a hands-on first-time buyer or investor prepared to manage renovation and auction purchase terms. If you want to create a period home with character close to town facilities, this property provides a clear blank canvas with practical advantages — but budget realistically for refurbishment and auction fees before bidding.
