From fresh cut flowers to freshly brewed coffee, it's widely considered by many people that pleasant smells can help to secure a sale for your home. But arguably the best smell to greet potential buyers on a viewing is the smell of freshly baked bread - maybe a well known sales trick these days but the nose cannot lie - it swoons at this aroma.
However, by the looks of this former valleys bakehouse going to auction, it's been a long time since the smell of anything yummy being baked inside has wafted from the premises.
The stone-built property called The Bakehouse is a surprise to find among the winding residential roads of Maesteg, within the Llynfi valley. Beautiful walks through the rugged landscape could be your daily exercise if you lived here, but there's oodles of renovation work to do first to keep you busy and fit.
