3 High Street, Welwyn, Hertfordshire, AL6 9EE

At £525,000, this is a strikingly low asking price against the local benchmark: £172/sq ft compared with £492/sq ft. The freehold combines a five-bedroom house with a commercial unit, and the bakery tenancy provides £20,000 a year until March 2027 while the residential part is vacant. The house is a substantial project: worn floors and tired finishes show across several rooms, with a dated kitchen and bathroom, and the rear courtyard needs attention. The street-facing frontage appears broadly intact in the available image. The listing is by auction; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

There is scope to rework and renew the residential interior, improve the courtyard and make the most of the combined house-and-shop property. The listing also mentions development potential subject to consent, but no particular scheme or feasibility is established.
