A substantial 19th‑century semi‑detached family home with six bedrooms and nearly 2,600 sq ft of living space, set back from the lane in the Gower hamlet of Cilibion. The house sits on an impressive 0.26‑acre plot with mature gardens and direct access onto common land, offering plenty of outdoor space for children, pets and growing plants. The detached studio (formerly a garage) and private gravel driveway for up to four cars add useful versatility and parking.
The layout suits a large family or a buyer looking to revive a small holiday or B&B business: three reception rooms, conservatory, a fitted kitchen with Stanley AGA, and bedroom six with an en‑suite on the upper floor. Practical benefits include double glazing (installed post‑2002), solar panels that produce around £1,000 per year, and fast broadband for rural standards.
Buyers should note several material points: the property is heated by an oil boiler and has an Energy Performance Rating of E; the house will benefit from updating and cosmetic improvements rather than a full structural overhaul. Drainage is via a cesspit rather than mains sewer, and the council tax is a higher band (Band F). There is a greater than 3.3% annual chance of surface water/small watercourse flooding noted in local services information — sight of full flood data is recommended.
Overall this is a characterful, flexible rural house with strong plot, parking and outbuilding advantages. It will suit a growing family seeking space and countryside outlooks, or an investor interested in holiday accommodation or B&B revival, prepared to carry out modernisation and manage oil heating and private drainage.
