A famous colourful cottage in a seaside town is set to go under the hammer, presenting an exciting opportunity for potential buyers. The pretty pink house located in the coastal town of Aberaeron in Ceredigion is catching the attention of auction enthusiasts with its unique charm and potential.
Known for its rows of Georgian and Victorian terraces painted in eye-catching shades, Aberaeron boasts a vibrant community with a rich history. Designed around 1805 by Reverend Alban Thomas Jones and architect Edward Haycock, the town’s layout has earned praise as ‘one of the best examples of a planned township of small scale in Wales.’
Offered by Paul Fosh Auctions, the pink property comes with a guide price of £150,000 and bids starting from noon on Tuesday, October 1, ending at 5pm on Thursday, October 3. The house, previously a mixed-use building with both commercial and residential spaces, features two front doors and a large bay window, making it ideal for a home-based business or a dream seaside residence.
Situated near the town’s main retail and restaurant area, the cottage provides a convenient location for potential owners. With a larger-than-usual garden for an Aberaeron terrace, there is potential to redevelop the space, perhaps for outdoor seating for a cute tea shop, pending planning consent.
The property’s historical mix of business and residential use is evident throughout, with a spacious kitchen diner, two reception rooms connected by a charming archway, and characterful touches waiting to be uncovered with some updating. The house also offers a large bathroom and a unique spa shower combined with a hot tub, adding a touch of luxury.
The top floor of the property features a ‘store room’ and two interlinked bedrooms, offering scope for a layout rethink to maximize the space. With its unique character, prime location, and versatile layout, this pretty pink cottage presents a rare opportunity for buyers looking to own a piece of Aberaeron’s colourful history.
