Get your dough ready if you want to bid for The Bakehouse
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.
With a guide price of just £16,000, the detached property going to auction sounds as tempting as a chocolate eclair regarding the possible purchase price, but step inside and you will see there is lots of extra dough to be spent here before The Bakehouse can be used again.
Of course, any changes from a bakehouse and business to a dwelling will need planning permission and building regulation consent. But if you want to start your baking empire, this might be the perfect place to perfect your pastries and pasties.
The Bakehouse is offered for sale via online auction in the Paul Fosh Auctions sale, which started at noon, on Tuesday, April 12 and ends at 5pm, on Thursday, April 14.
