Waunwern Cottage is a traditional three-bedroom home on a large plot at the edge of Pontypool, offering easy access to parkland, scenic walks and local amenities. The house is described as detached but records also note a semi‑detached built form; buyers should confirm status. Internally the home is well presented with a generous living room (wood burner and home‑office space), a conservatory, a fitted kitchen with utility room, and a flexible formal dining room. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and heating is mains‑gas boiler with radiators.
Outside is a private rear garden with patio, large lawn, mature planting, greenhouse, water feature, storage shed and an expansive driveway with garage. The plot size and garden are standout assets for family outdoor living and entertaining. There is a right of way through a neighbour’s land for access and a restriction against siting caravans on the land.
Practical points to note: the home is modest in overall internal size (approximately 732 sq ft / small), council tax is above average (Band E), and the wider area scores very high on deprivation indices despite low crime and good transport links. The property was treated for roof timbers in 2001 and a rear lounge wall was tanked in 2001; the owner notes periodic timber treatments in the garage. The house’s system‑built walls have external insulation, which may be relevant to future alteration or survey work.
This property will suit buyers seeking character, a large private garden and countryside access close to Pontypool amenities. First‑time buyers or families looking for outside space and scope to personalise should budget for ongoing maintenance and to confirm structural and title details (right of way, building form) during survey.
