A Welsh country manor house is up for sale for less than the price of a parking space in some parts of London – at just £40,000.
The Grade II-listed home in Pencader, Carmarthenshire, comes with four bedrooms, a sweeping driveway and sits in 2.5 acres of land.
However buyers hoping to snap up the historic property – Blaenblodau Hall – won’t be able to look around because it is too dangerous after being left empty for a generation.

The Grade II-listed home with four bedrooms and a sweeping driveway in 2.5 acres of land could be the bargain of the century
However buyers hoping to snap up the historic property (pictured) won’t be able to look around because it is too dangerous after being left empty for 30 years
The house (pictured from the sweeping driveway) was advertised for let in 1859 and first appeared on the ordnance survey map in 1888
The home, with a guide price of £40,000, will go to auction in Llanelli, South Wales, this November
Eryl Jenkins from John Francis estate agents, said: ‘We don’t want people to travel a long way expecting to be able to see everything inside, it is restricted viewing only due to its condition.
‘We haven’t been able to go upstairs ourselves and advise that people enter at their own risk. It’s definitely a full renovation needed, we believe it hasn’t been lived in for over 30 years.’
The house was advertised for let in 1859 and first appeared on the ordnance survey map in 1888.
Inside the manor house is completely abandoned and damaged, with debris left everywhere, after being left for a generation with nobody living in it
Eryl Jenkins from John Francis estate agents said the house will need to be fully renovated and is too dangerous for people to look around in its current state
It was listed in 1992 as being a ‘largely unaltered late-Georgian style small country house’ with panelled doors in the hall and main rooms
