Summary - 44 Heol Gwys, Upper Cwmtwrch SA9 2XQ
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Chain-free detached building with parking, garage and conversion potential.
Sold as one lot: former post office and two-bedroom first-floor flat
Offered as one lot, this detached former post office with an adjoining two-bedroom first-floor flat is a clear renovation opportunity for buyers with vision. The building sits at the roadside with off-road parking, a detached garage, and a secure rear garden plus a rear storage room suitable for workshop use or conversion subject to consents. The footprint and traditional character create scope for a mixed-use scheme or conversion to larger residential accommodation.
The property requires comprehensive refurbishment throughout: cosmetic and structural upgrades, modern heating and electrics, and internal reconfiguration will be needed. Double glazing is in place (installed post-2002) but main heating currently relies on electric storage heaters and solid fuel, so budget for a modern heating system and potential re-wiring. Broadband speeds are slow locally, though mobile signal is excellent.
Location is a practical selling point. Set in Upper Cwmtwrch village, amenities such as pubs, churches and shops are within walking distance and Ystradgynlais is a short drive for supermarkets and services. Road links to the M4 and Swansea are good, making the site accessible for contractors or commuters. The property is chain-free and freehold, simplifying purchase for an investor or owner-occupier prepared to undertake works.
Buyers should be aware the area shows signs of economic deprivation and the house will need significant investment to reach modern living standards. Planning or building-control advice will be necessary if you intend to create additional self-contained accommodation or substantially change the internal layout. For the right buyer this is a rare opportunity to restore a character property and add tangible value.
