A charming but dilapidated Welsh cottage offering land and outbuildings tucked away on the top of a hillside in the heart of the south Wales valleys caused a bidding war when it went to auction.
The property called Caeau Meinion Farm, in Bedwellty, near Blackwood in the county of Caerphilly, Gwent, had a guide price of £145,000 and was in need of a complete renovation project to bring it back to life.
Before the bidding began Sean Roper, of Paul Fosh Auctions, said: "This truly is a very rare opportunity to acquire a Welsh longhouse with land and outbuildings and land of approximately 0.7 acres."
