Chain-free two-bedroom detached cottage with driveway, modern kitchen and auction sale opportunity.
Detached two-bedroom cottage, generous c.980 sq ft overall size
A detached two-bedroom cottage on a quiet lane in Pontyberem, offered chain-free and sold at auction. The house measures a generous c.980 sq ft and combines traditional character with practical modern updates: a recently fitted kitchen and bathroom, two reception rooms and driveway parking. The low-maintenance rear patio garden suits buyers wanting minimal upkeep.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no flood risk, affordable council tax band C, and good mobile signal. The property is well located for village amenities — school, shops, surgery and transport links — with Carmarthen and Llanelli within easy reach and the M4 around six miles away.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property uses coal room heaters and lacks wall insulation (sandstone walls assumed uninsulated). Double glazing was installed before 2002 and ceilings are low in parts. The small plot and some neglected exterior areas suggest limited outdoor space and potential external maintenance or renovation work.
This home suits buyers seeking a characterful, detached cottage that’s habitable now but offers scope to improve heating efficiency and external condition. Auction sale and chain-free status make it attractive to first-time buyers, cautious investors or buyers wanting a renovation project in a rural village setting.
