Set on a large, private plot in Efail Isaf, this five-bedroom detached home combines generous single-storey living with an additional large first-floor bedroom and separate upstairs living space. The house benefits from a detached double garage, driveway parking, double glazing and mains gas central heating, making it comfortable for immediate occupation while offering clear scope for improvement.
The standout asset is the substantial rear garden with mature screening — an unusually large, private plot for the area, suitable for families, gardeners or those seeking potential to extend (subject to planning). Interior rooms are spacious for a bungalow-style property, with a bright living room that connects to the garden via full-height glazed doors and an extended kitchen/diner with informal dining space.
Buyers should note the material points: the property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has assumed cavity walls with no installed insulation, solid floors with no insulation, and older kitchen and decorative finishes that will benefit from modernisation. There is only one family bathroom plus one en-suite, and the council tax level is high (Band F). The home lies close to former coalfield/mining area records, and while there is excellent mobile and broadband coverage, the surrounding area has pockets of deprivation.
This house will suit downsizers wanting generous single-floor living, families seeking spacious gardens, or buyers looking for a refurbishment/extension project to add value. The balance of strong plot, practical outbuildings and good transport links makes it a versatile opportunity — take it as a comfortable long-term home now or a project with clear upside.
