Summary - The Old Chapel, Villiers Road, Blaengwynfi SA13 3TH
2 bed 2 bath Detached
Distinctive 1887 converted chapel with spectacular valley views, garden and large open living space..
Converted 1887 chapel with Gothic Revival stone exterior
Set in the Upper Afan Valley, The Old Chapel is a striking 1887 converted detached chapel offering generous internal space (approximately 1,357 sq ft) and spectacular valley views. The building’s Gothic Revival stone exterior, arched windows and high ceilings create rare character; inside an open-plan ground floor and mezzanine arrangement houses two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a private garden. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators.
This property will appeal to buyers after character, space and setting rather than turnkey convenience. The stone walls are likely uninsulated (as built); some rooms show exposed stone and vintage finishes that will need sensible maintenance or upgrading to improve energy efficiency and comfort. Broadband speeds are slow locally despite excellent mobile signal, and the surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental prospects.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, no flood risk, detached layout and a decent plot with garden. The property provides clear scope for sympathetic renovation or conversion projects to enhance thermal performance and maximise the impressive internal volume and views. Council Tax band C and double glazing are recorded, but install dates are unknown and some upgrades should be expected.
Buyers should view to appreciate scale, natural light and outlook; this is a character-rich home with honest maintenance and connectivity considerations. It suits someone seeking a distinctive, long-term home or a renovation project in a quiet mountainside village with excellent outdoor access.
