Three run-down and rotting ex-miners houses with a 'very interesting' history are set to go to auction but the guide price may have potential buyers baffled.
The three lifeless and dilapidated proprieties in Machen, near Caerphilly in South Wales, were once bustling with miners and their families.
Now hidden behind a sea of foliage, the buildings which can only be accessed by foot, and are not linked to any utilities are selling for a shocking guide price of £0.
The previous owner purchased the cottages known as the Wesley Building in 1979 after returning from Saudi Arabia as they previously belonged to his family.
The carpenter's great-grandparents were both born in the properties, and his great-grandfather had worked in the former tin mine nearby.
