Set on a quiet lane in Pontyberem, this freehold two-bedroom detached cottage is offered with no onward chain and will be sold at auction. The ground floor has two reception rooms plus a modern kitchen and bathroom; two bedrooms occupy the first floor. Off-street driveway parking and a low-maintenance rear patio garden give practical outdoor space without heavy upkeep.
The property sits in a small rural village with day-to-day facilities nearby — school, shops, GP surgery, chemist and eateries — and good walking/cycling links to the Millennium Coastal Park. Excellent mobile signal and a C energy rating (EER 70) are useful conveniences for modern life. Council tax band C and freehold tenure simplify running costs and ownership.
Important negatives are straightforward: heating relies on coal and room heaters, external sandstone walls appear uninsulated, and glazing was fitted before 2002. The house dates from before 1900 and has low ceilings and smaller rooms, so buyers should expect some modernization or retrofit work if they want upgraded insulation, central heating or larger, more open spaces. The plot is small and the local area shows higher deprivation, which may affect resale expectations.
This property will suit buyers seeking a compact period home with character ready for targeted improvement, first-time buyers looking for affordable freehold ownership, or investors comfortable with an auction purchase and modest refurbishment to add value.
