Set across three floors, this semi-detached home in Abercrave offers solid bones, original features and expansive views over the River Tawe. The house provides flexible living with two reception rooms, a lower-ground kitchen/diner and three bedrooms, with potential to create a fourth bedroom. Double glazing and oil central heating are already fitted, while the low-maintenance rear garden suits busy households or weekend walkers.
The property requires renovation and modernisation throughout—ideal for a buyer who wants to add value by updating services, finishes and insulation. Construction suggests solid granite/whinstone walls but no built-in insulation; the boiler uses oil fuel and the glazing install date is unknown. Broadband is average and mobile signal is excellent; local amenities and outdoor attractions are within easy reach, and council tax costs are very low.
This sale is by auction under the Modern Method of Auction. Bidders should budget for a Buyer Information Pack (£349 inc. VAT) and a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600 inc. VAT) payable on reservation, with completion required within 56 days. These additional costs and the fast completion timetable significantly affect purchase affordability and mortgage arrangements, so confirm finance and view the buyer pack before bidding.
For a first-time buyer or investor prepared to carry out works, this property presents good scope for improvement, rental potential and long-term value given its village setting close to the Brecon Beacons and local attractions. Conversely, those seeking a move-in-ready home should note the renovation burden, oil heating running costs, and lack of insulation.
