A secluded former South Wales canal worker’s cottage tucked away on a no through road in Gwent could be the ideal bolt hole residence but there is a catch.
The bijou mid-terrace cottage with limited access at 6, School Terrace, Rogerstone, may be the ideal place for those looking for privacy but it is open only to cash buyers.
Angie Davey, of Newport-based Paul Fosh Auctions, which is selling the property, said it was of "non-standard construction".
She said: “For this reason, the historic house, which now needs total renovation, is listed with a guide price of just £46,000 and is on offer to cash buyers only.”
Angie said: “The cottage, in a small terrace built for canal workers, could be ideal for someone looking for a hideaway home or perhaps to convert for use as a holiday let or for rental.
“The accommodation currently provides lounge, kitchen/dining room, shower room, utility area and on the first floor one bedroom through to room two.
“The sloping rear garden is currently accessed only via the top road.
"There is a parking space on the lane opposite the property and there is potential to create additional parking in the front garden subject to the necessary Highways consent.
"The property is to be sold with vacant possession.
"Once refurbished we anticipate it could achieve a rental income of approximately £750 per calendar month.
“The property, on a no through road, is adjacent to playing fields and has good transport links via the A467/M4, local rail at nearby Pye Corner and Rogerstone plus national rail links from Newport city centre."
The next Paul Fosh Auctions sale, which includes this cottage along with almost 100 other lots, starts at noon on Tuesday, October 7, and ends from 5pm on Thursday, October 9.
