Set in the peaceful village of Cymmer, this Grade II mid-terrace cottage offers a rare chance to create a bespoke home with far-reaching countryside views. The property is freehold, modest in size (circa 799 sq ft) and sits close to Margam Country Park and Port Talbot for everyday amenities and transport links.
The house requires full renovation throughout: the kitchen dates from the 1970s and needs modernisation, the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, and the building’s listed status will constrain works and require specialist consent. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators, glazing was upgraded after 2002, and there is no reported flood risk.
Practical benefits include cheap Council Tax (Band B), very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working. The small courtyard provides a rural outlook rather than a large garden; the plot and interior are best suited to buyers seeking a character restoration project rather than a move‑in-ready home.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers or buyers comfortable managing a renovation and working within Grade II restrictions. Note the location sits in an area of high deprivation, which may affect local services and resale dynamics. Interested purchasers should allow for specialist listed-building survey costs and planning considerations before committing to works.
