Three derelict homes have gone on the market and could be bought for a few pounds. The dilapidated former tin miners cottages near the village of Machen in South Wales go on auction on July 25.
They are in such appalling condition that a potential buyer will need to complete extensive near total repairs before they can be inhabited. The three-floor 'Wesley Buildings' have no initial expected bid.
Pictures of the properties show their decimated interiors, missing windows and doors, and extensive undergrowth that has taken over parts of the homes. Gemma Vaughan, of Newport-based Paul Fosh Auctions, says they were rebuilt during the 1980s by a carpenter who transformed the cottages into a huge single property.
