Description
Offered at auction, this two-bedroom semi-detached cottage in Chirk occupies a substantial plot and is described as requiring modernisation and refurbishment. The listing identifies possible scope to extend the existing home, create additional accommodation or pursue a separate dwelling, subject to planning permission and other necessary consents. These possibilities have not been confirmed, so purchasers should make their own enquiries into planning feasibility and site constraints.
The property is presented as an opportunity to update the existing accommodation while considering the potential of the grounds. Viewings are by appointment. The sale is through an online bidding process, with auction terms and conditions applying; buyers should review the relevant legal and bidding information before proceeding.

48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a heavy renovation project with a substantial-looking plot and traditional stone and timber features to work with. The interiors show extensive wear and dated finishes, while the grounds are overgrown; the living space, kitchen and bathroom all offer scope for a major update. The garage and outbuilding add useful character to the site, though the outbuilding’s corrugated roof is visibly weathered.
At £190,000, value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The sale is by online auction, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The listing also mentions possible extension or an additional dwelling, subject to permissions; feasibility is unverified.
Key opportunities
- The substantial-looking plot gives scope to improve the grounds and explore extension or additional accommodation, subject to permissions and site feasibility.
- Traditional exposed stone and timber provide character to retain or bring forward as the living space is modernised.
- The garage and outbuilding offer useful existing site features to assess as part of a wider improvement plan.
Key risks
- Stripped-back finishes are not the picture here, but the widespread wear, wall deterioration and dated fittings point to a heavy multi-room programme; allow for a longer, more involved project than a cosmetic refresh.
- The outbuilding has a visibly weathered corrugated roof; the main roof appears broadly intact in the available views but has not been fully assessed.
