Deceptively spacious Victorian semi with garden — ideal first-time buy needing modest updates.
Two double bedrooms across three floors
This Victorian semi-detached house on Swansea Road offers surprisingly generous space across three floors, ideal for a first-time buyer wanting room to grow. The property has two double bedrooms, four reception rooms and a useful utility room — versatile layouts suit families, sharers or a home office setup.
Set in the village of Trebanos, the home is conveniently placed for schools, bus routes, Coed Gwilym Park, Pontardawe town centre and the M4. A rear garden and gravelled front add outdoor space and kerb appeal. Practical features include mains gas central heating with boiler and double glazing (install date unknown).
Be clear about likely maintenance and running costs: the house was built c.1900–1929 with traditional granite/whinstone walls that are assumed uninsulated, and the glazing installation date is unknown. There is a single first-floor bathroom only. The local area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale but current council tax is low and flood risk is nil.
For a buyer happy to invest modestly in insulation, updating and cosmetic improvements, this property offers strong space-for-money value in a convenient location. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the internal scale and flexible room layout.
