Description
Offered at auction by the modern method, this three-bedroom detached bungalow in Prestatyn is being sold as a refurbishment project following fire and smoke damage. The accommodation is described as a lounge, kitchen area, three bedrooms and a family bathroom, all requiring restoration. The property is offered freehold with no onward chain, and the listing notes nearby amenities, schools and transport links.
The bungalow sits on a sizeable plot with enclosed rear gardens and views towards the hills. At the front, there is a lawn and a driveway accessed through double gates, providing off-road parking. Buyers should review the auction terms, including the reservation period and fees, and assess the property and its services before bidding. The EPC rating is to be confirmed.

Confidence: MEDIUM
At £145,000, the asking price is about 4.7% below the local average per square foot, which is a modest plus. But the economics are the main concern: even allowing for that relatively reasonable entry price, the purchase plus a mid-to-substantial programme of works leaves costs stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of the value after renovation.
This detached bungalow is a heavy, fire-and-smoke-damaged project rather than a cosmetic refresh. The rear-facing lounge, sizeable garden and gated driveway give a renovator a useful starting point for creating a bespoke home, with hills beyond the garden adding to its appeal.
Key opportunities
- Rework the damaged interior into a coherent, tailored home, using the rear-facing lounge and single-storey form as the basis for the layout.
- Restore the kitchen area as part of a full interior transformation rather than trying to preserve its damaged finishes.
- Make the established rear garden and gated driveway part of the finished appeal; the garden already offers lawn and mature hedging, with hills beyond.
Key risks
- Fire and smoke damage is stated in the listing, with extensive staining, damaged finishes and debris visible in several interior views.
- This is a heavy, whole-interior programme: damaged finishes and flooring across the visible areas mean planning for a full rebuild and a longer, more involved job than a cosmetic refresh.
- The asking price plus a mid-to-substantial works programme leaves the project’s costs stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area, limiting the room for error.
- Purchase plus the works band looks tight after allowing for the asking price and a non-cosmetic works programme — roughly 35% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition, so margin after refurbishment is unproven.
