Set high above Pontardawe in the sought-after village of Alltwen, this Victorian semi-detached home offers three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a modern kitchen — ideal for a growing family seeking countryside views with easy access to local towns and the M4. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating, an en-suite bedroom and off-street parking to the rear. A slightly sloping front garden provides a seating area to enjoy the panoramic town centre vista.
The house is offered Freehold via the Modern Method of Auction with a 56-day completion period. Buyers should budget for a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600 inc. VAT) plus a £349 Buyer Information Pack. These auction costs are additional to the purchase price and should be factored into any mortgage or affordability calculations before bidding.
Construction dates to the early 1900s and the property retains period character in its sandstone/limestone facade and original sash windows. Insulation in the walls is assumed to be absent which may mean higher heating costs and potential improvement works. The overall footprint is modest (approximately 786 sq ft) and the garden will need landscaping to reach its full potential.
Practical positives include good broadband and mobile signal, convenient road links and nearby amenities such as schools and local nature walks. The Energy Efficiency Rating is D61 and council tax band is C. The setting and internal layout give scope for cosmetic updating or modest renovation to increase comfort and value.
