0 bidsSet in an elevated position with far-reaching valley views, this detached period home offers generous space, a superb plot and excellent potential to add value.
A traditional double-fronted façade opens to two well-proportioned reception rooms, each ideal as a sitting room and separate dining/family room. To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room features ample cabinetry, a built-in double oven and gas hob, with an adjoining utility/second prep area and a bright conservatory/porch linking the house to the garden.
Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms (two comfortable doubles and a generous single) served by a modernised shower room.
Outside is where the home really shines: Approximately 0.14 acres with deep, landscaped sections, vegetable beds, greenhouse and timber store, plus terraces for entertaining. A gated driveway and outbuildings provide practical storage and off-road parking. With a total floor area of approx. 1,108 sq ft (103 sq m), this is a sizeable home that’s perfectly liveable now and ready for a sympathetic upgrade to your taste.
Living in Pontardawe – Things to Do
Pontardawe sits in the verdant Swansea Valley, prized for its outdoor lifestyle and community feel. Enjoy walks and cycling on the traffic-free National Cycle Route 43 and along the River Tawe, or head to the Brecon Beacons for bigger adventures. Craig-y-Llyn, Henrhyd Falls and the Afan Forest Park are all reachable for day trips. The award-winning Pontardawe Arts Centre hosts theatre, live music and film nights, while local rugby, cricket and leisure centres keep you active. You’ll find handy supermarkets, independent cafés and pubs in town, with larger retail in Neath and Swansea. Commuters benefit from A4067 links to the M4 (J45) for Swansea, Cardiff and beyond; beaches on the Gower Peninsula are an easy weekend escape.

†Conditional auction
If the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, an exclusivity period begins in relation to that property. The successful bidder is contractually required to exchange on the property on or before the expiry of 20 working days from the end of the auction (unless otherwise stated in the "Legal Docs" section in the listing above). All properties sold by conditional auction are sold subject to a reservation fee which is clearly stated in the terms and conditions attached to the property and in the bidding box before a bid is placed. The reservation fee is payable in addition to the final purchase price and is received on a non-refundable basis, subject to the terms of the Reservation Agreement. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the winning buyer is automatically charged a reservation fee and agrees prior to making their bid, to pay any outstanding amount of the property reservation fee immediately at the end of the auction. The auctioneer will be authorised to sign the reservation agreement on both the buyer’s and seller’s behalf. If by the seller’s act, exchange does not occur on or before the expiry of 20 working days from the end of the auction (unless otherwise stated in the "Legal Docs" section in the listing above), the reservation fee shall be fully refunded to the buyer. If the buyer fails to exchange on or before the expiry of 20 working days from the end of the auction (unless otherwise stated in the "Legal Docs" section in the listing above), they will forfeit the full amount of the reservation fee. Fees paid to the Auctioneer may be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property and be included in the calculation for stamp duty liability. Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative.
