Set on a level plot in peaceful Rhiwfawr, this three-bedroom semi delivers countryside views and solid fabric from the 1950–66 build period. The house benefits from double glazing, external insulation and an air-source heat pump with radiators, giving energy-efficient foundations alongside an Energy Efficiency Rating of C77. A gated driveway and fenced front garden add privacy and practical kerb appeal.
The interior needs updating and offers clear scope for renovation or reconfiguration—ideal for a growing family or an investor seeking uplift. The mid‑century living room retains a dated stone fireplace and standard ceiling heights; these features can be refreshed to create more contemporary living space. The plot is decent in size and level, with a rear outlook described as beautiful.

Location strengths include very low local crime, close access to outdoor recreation and nearby Ystradgynlais amenities, while Swansea city centre remains commutable. Note the area’s wider socio-economic indicators: local deprivation is recorded as very deprived. Broadband and mobile signals are average.
