No wonder people across the UK are being tempted to have a gander online at this detached property in Wales - it has a lot going for it. From the outside the period property is looking tired, and that fatigue continues inside, but this house has location and potential on its cheerleading team.
The three-bed house can be found in the village of Reynoldston on Gower Peninsula and that is a massive bonus for this once loved but now rundown building.
With easy access to some of Wales' most stunning beaches and coastline, the house is nestled within the heart of this stunning Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Find out more about Gower Peninsula here.

The village facilities include a Post Office, church and the renowned King Arthur Hotel and are just around the corner within this small community, but peaceful walks along award-winning beaches can be your daily seclusion too.
The house is going to auction with a guide price of £300,000 but as it is property destination website Zoopla's second most-viewed online property across the UK for April, there's probably going to be a bit of a bidding war to bag this one because a home that needs a full update in this special slice of Wales is a rare find.
According to Zoopla, the average asking price for a detached home on Gower peninsula is currently £493,369, with the average sold price overall within the last 12 months standing at £354,613.
The new owner of this detached house has the chance to add value because, as well as hiding an array of delightful period features, the home can offer the potential to add value and transform it into a dream home near the coast.
But the new owner will have to have a good size budget and vision as the home is in need of a full renovation project both inside and out.
The house comes with just under an acre of land that mainly surrounds the home, plus there's separate gated access onto the field beyond the front garden, offering potential equestrian use.
Through a gated entrance to the site, there is currently parking for one car at the rear and most of the garden is found at the front of the property.
But this is the renovation property that keeps on giving because, according to the estate agent, the property also has a further parcel of land of just over an acre that comes with the house but is not adjacent to it.
This bonus land does not have vehicle access, however it does have the benefit of pedestrian access, and is mainly woodland.
Back at the house and who isn't over-excited to find out what lies within? Well, firstly its two front doors to choose from as this unusual home spans across two distinct sections of the house.
Choose what looks like the main front door and as it creaks open you're invited into a central reception room that, although 'frozen in time' regarding decor, has period features to uncover.
There are stairs up to the first floor but this room can keep you wanting to stay on the ground floor to have a nose around, especially at the period fireplace, stone floor and a huge Welsh dresser that, even though the room has cottage proportions, can still easily find a home in here.
Next door is the sitting room, with a later era brick fireplace and a carpet, which is hopefully hiding another stone floor. There's also ceiling beams and a period panelled internal door to add another layer of features in this space.
Up the stairs in this half of the house and there are two bedrooms above, but if you want to access the third, the kitchen and the bathroom you will need to use the open doorway between the reception hall and dining room.
Or, for a bit more fun, you could go outside via one front door and enter the other section of the house through the second one.
So, step through this second front door of this intriguing house and there are even more features to find and flabbergast you, or frighten you if you're not keen on the idea of renovating or restoring.
There's a flagstone floor below and ceiling beams above, and a wonderful fireplace that appears to still have in place an integrated oven section. Not that any cook needs to resort to the ways of the past to create a feast, as the house has power for a more modern, electric version.
There are delightful built-in cupboards in this reception room, that surely used to be the original kitchen, that include black ironmongery door furniture plus the room can boast a cute cottage window sporting multiple panes of glass.
A door at the rear of the dining room reveals a quirky shaped kitchen and then through to a surprisingly spacious bathroom. The third and separate bedroom can be reached via a staircase in the corner of the dining room.
Obviously there is the floorplan, the flow and the finishing touches to contemplate at this house, and maybe an extension or two, but the potential here oozes out of every stone and every remaining, delightful period feature.
For cash buyers only, the house is going to auction with Dawsons Property with a guide of £300,000.
Auction registration is now open with the bidding opening on Monday, May 16 at noon and will close on Tuesday, May 17 at noon. The auction house says this is subject to change depending on the completion of the legal pack. For further details call 01792 478903.
