Wreck of the Week

Couple of interesting renovate/live/work possibilities for you today. Starting with this former print shop in Shrewsbury . Bit of a mess inside, but lots of space and potential too. Three bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen upstairs, large main room downstairs, plus the shop and store and another kitchen. But the garden is what sold it to me. Lovely big space. I'm thinking cafe plus art shop and a children's' sculpture/sensory garden, with a two-bedroom apartment over? Or you could just turn into one handsome big townhouse. On the market through Roger Parry at offers over £250k. More here and here Rather prettier (and pricier) is this lovely house and two-storey workshop in the Northumberland market town of Rothbury . Percy Cottage has three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, two reception rooms, kitchen and a lovely hall downstairs. Plus that lovely big barn/workshop.

Apologies for the posting gap, I've been on my travels again. And my travelling does seem to take me to Wales a fair bit so I've got a bit of a Welsh wrecks special for you today.  This stunning coastal home first of all. I'm absolutely besotted with this one. The sea views are amazing (and definitely make up for the damp corners in the bedrooms...). Three bedrooms and large bathroom upstairs, dining kitchen, living room, halls and utility downstairs. And 22 acres outside. Just let that sink in for a while. Sea views across Ceredigion Bay and Llyn Peninsula to the front, mountains and fields to the rear - acres of which you own. There are gardens to the front, side and rear, and the property is within the Snowdonia National park. Gwastadgoed Canol is a couple of miles from the pretty coastal village of Llwyngwril , on the Cardigan Bay Coast, Gwynedd. On the market through RG Jones with a  guide price of £325k.
