This property is offered as a clear development project with existing consents. The semi-detached building at 78 Gwilym Road has full planning permission to convert from mixed office/residential use to a single residential home and to remove a front single-storey structure (Planning P2021/1210). Across the road, the off-street car park holds outline consent for two additional plots: a three-bedroom house and a two-bedroom dormer bungalow (Planning P2025/0084). Together the consents create short-term delivery potential for additional homes.
The house dates from the early 20th century with sandstone or limestone walls and external insulation; double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. It is currently used as offices and will require conversion works to make a family home, including internal reconfiguration and likely refurbishment of damp-affected areas shown externally. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators; purchasers should assess fuel strategy and ongoing running costs.
The village location on the edge of Black Mountain provides semi-rural appeal and local amenities: primary school, shop, post office and village hall, with Ystradgynlais under five miles away for broader services. Broadband speeds are reported slow, though mobile signal is excellent. The site’s large plot and planning permissions are principal value drivers, but practical considerations — conversion works, maintenance/damp, oil heating and low local broadband — are material and should be factored into budgets.
