Swallow Cottage is a compact, stone-built two-bedroom cottage set in the quiet hamlet of Llanfallteg. Chain-free and being sold by modern auction, it offers an accessible entry into rural living with allocated parking and a low-maintenance patio garden. Double glazing and an oil-fired boiler provide basic comfort while retaining period character such as exposed stone walls and a slate roof.
The layout is straightforward: hallway, lounge with fireplace, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms across about 765 sq ft. The property is structurally traditional — granite or whinstone walls, likely without cavity insulation — so buyers should expect to consider thermal upgrade work (internal/external insulation options) to improve energy efficiency and running costs. Oil heating is in place; fuel supply is private (not a community system).
This cottage will suit a first-time buyer seeking a manageable home in a rural setting, or someone looking for a second home/holiday let close to the A40 and the popular town of Narberth. Local services are a short drive away, but the property sits within an isolated hamlet in an area classified as very deprived, so limited local facilities and longer journeys for many amenities should be factored in.
Practical positives include no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The small plot and patio garden keep outdoor maintenance minimal, while the period fabric and compact rooms offer scope for cosmetic improvement or modest renovation to add value before occupation or letting.
