A compact Victorian mid-terrace in the heart of Blaenau Ffestiniog, 18 Newborough Street offers straightforward, affordable entry into homeownership or a renovation investment. The property’s stone façade and traditional layout retain period character while the interior requires updating — a chance to reshape rooms to modern tastes. Gas central heating and double glazing are in place, but the original stone walls are likely uninsulated, so expect work to improve thermal performance.
This house is sold freehold by the Modern Method of Auction and is chain-free, so sale completion follows the auction timescale (56-day reservation period). Buyers should factor in the non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) and the Buyer Information Pack cost. If you need mortgage finance, confirm affordability and lender acceptance before bidding.
Practical positives include a generous lounge with a gas fireplace, a roomy kitchen/dining area and a low-maintenance rear yard with an outhouse for storage. The three first-floor bedrooms and a large family bathroom provide flexible space for a small family, sharers or rental use. The property sits close to the town’s amenities, benefits from low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful if working from home.
Material considerations: the mid-20th-century kitchen is dated and will need modernization; the stone walls may lack insulation; internal room sizes are generally small and the overall property footprint is modest (circa 791 sq ft). Planning constraints apply under Cyngor Gwynedd’s Article 4 Direction — changing use to a second home or short-term holiday let requires planning consent. Given the town’s wider socioeconomic profile and small plot size, this is best suited to buyers seeking an affordable home to renovate or investors prepared to factor refurbishment and regulatory constraints into their plans.
