A TRADITIONAL three-bedroom terraced house in a quiet street close to the Pontypridd is selling at auction - with a guide price that is less than the cost of a respectable second-hand family vehicle.

Home under the hammer!

Tucked away in a quiet side street, 4 Cadwgan Terrace, Trehafod, has all the amenities and facilities of Pontypridd nearby but can offer a more peaceful existence.

And it also offers an eye-catching guide price - listed for auction with a starting guide price of just £9,000.

Situated in Trehafod, a village positioned between Pontypridd and Porth, the residence does require refurbishment and upgrading after being rented out over recent years, but if a new owner can get it near the guide price and has a decent renovation budget, a new home or a rental opportunity could be the positive outcome.

Sean Roper from Paul Fosh Auctions says: “The terraced house has all the basics in place which, once renovated, will make it into a lovely family home.

“The garden needs some strenuous efforts to bring it under control but, all in all, this presents a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to put their own stamp on this traditional property.”
