A traditional two-bedroom terraced cottage offered chain-free and ready for a first-time buyer to personalise. The house spans three floors and includes two reception rooms, two double bedrooms and an enclosed rear garden with a pleasant riverside aspect to the rear. The compact rooms give a cosy feel but also offer scope for reconfiguration or improvement to increase living space and value.
The property is well placed for local amenities — schools, bus routes, Pontardawe town centre, M4 links and a nearby superstore are all within easy reach. Practical benefits include freehold tenure, very low council tax and strong digital connectivity with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, making it suitable for remote working or modern lifestyles.
Known drawbacks are straightforward and factual: some internal updating is needed (dated fixtures and carpets in places), rooms are on the smaller side, and there is only one bathroom. The wider area records above-average crime and higher deprivation levels, which prospective buyers should consider alongside the property’s affordability and renovation potential.
Overall this cottage suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a reasonably priced, chain-free purchase with good transport links and clear potential to add value through modest refurbishment.
