This stone-fronted, late-Victorian detached house offers generous family accommodation in a convenient Ystalyfera location. The layout includes three reception rooms, a kitchen, and three double bedrooms, retaining period features such as a bay window and fireplaces that give the property character and warmth.
Externally the house sits on a large, completely flat rear garden with open views towards Darren Mountain — excellent for children, gardening or an extension (subject to planning). Practical benefits include two driveways for up to four vehicles, a detached garage and multiple sheds for storage. The home is chain-free and freehold, with affordable council tax banding.
The property requires renovation throughout: modernisation of the kitchen, bathroom and decoration is needed, and the house should be treated as a refurbishment project. Buyers should factor in those costs, but the solid period shell and room configuration provide strong scope to create a comfortable modern family home.
Location is a key selling point for families. The house sits just behind Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera, with village shops, a leisure centre and local amenities within walking distance. Ystradgynlais and Swansea are a short drive away for supermarkets, healthcare and wider services. Note the local area has higher levels of deprivation, so buyers prioritising community investment or resale uplift should consider that context.
