Description

A chain-free, two-bedroom cottage in Havens Head, around a mile from Milford Haven town centre. The ground floor currently has two reception rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, with two bedrooms above. The property is offered at auction and requires modernisation throughout. It has no central heating, and the main cottage is described as traditional solid masonry beneath a pitched slate roof, with a timber-framed kitchen extension and a cavity-block bathroom extension. The front garden is elevated, while the rear garden backs onto a stream and includes two externally accessed storage sheds. Architectural and structural drawings have been prepared for proposed works, and the listing states that a Building Notice and approval are in place, with the associated costs paid by the owner. The property is about a mile from local shops, schools, transport links and other amenities. Mains electricity, water and drainage are advised to be connected. The sale is by the Modern Method of Auction, with a 56-day reservation period and an additional buyer information pack charge and reservation fee. Buyers should review the auction terms and verify the status and scope of the proposed works.

43out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £45,000, this traditional two-bedroom cottage offers a substantial blank canvas: the photos show extensive deterioration across several rooms, including exposed wall areas, damaged finishes and worn floors, while the kitchen ceiling also needs making good. The £65,000–£115,000 renovation range reflects a full project rather than a cosmetic refresh. Its two reception rooms, traditional character and gardens give scope to reshape and personalise the home; the rear garden backs onto a stream, and the listing says drawings and a Building Notice/approval have been prepared for proposed works, which should be checked before relying on them.

The score is 43/100 (E), with the condition and works the main drag on the overall opportunity. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The property is being sold by the Modern Method of Auction: bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Use the two reception rooms and traditional cottage character as the basis for a home redesigned to suit your needs.
  • Replace the dated kitchen and refresh the bathroom as part of a coherent whole-house renovation.
  • Clear and landscape the front and rear gardens, with the rear garden backing onto a stream; proposed-work drawings and Building Notice/approval are stated to be in place, subject to verification.

Key risks

  • Extensive damage, exposed wall areas, worn finishes and a damaged kitchen ceiling, alongside weathered exterior walls and overgrown gardens, make the £65,000–£115,000 works a full-gut budget and programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; roof condition is not established.
