Where can you find a trio of cottages that maybe you could buy for less than the price of your lunch? A row of three former tin miners' cottages in Machen called Wesley Buildings are going to auction with a guide price of £0 and no reserve, but even in their dilapidated state are surely going to be snapped up for at least the price of an evening meal out at a fancy restaurant.
But there'll be no meals cooked and enjoyed within any of the three houses going under the virtual hammer as inside each of them is in a totally derelict state that for novice renovators will look shocking, and maybe to some experienced developers too.
Having been left empty for many years the row of homes have sunk to a state that renders them too dangerous for the auctioneers to step inside and take photos, although some brave soul has managed to snap inside a reception room, presumably through the window which lost its glass long ago.
