A deceptively spacious and lovingly maintained detached dormer bungalow positioned on a generous plot, benefitting from breathtaking rural views, manicured landscaped gardens, impressive cellar space and an outdoor recreation pool.

Nestled within the quiet village of Ystalyfera and boasting enviable rural views is this deceptively spacious five bedroom detached family home. The current vendor has lovingly maintained the property for over 50 years and has created beautiful landscaped gardens that further enjoy an impressive outdoor endless swimming pool. The living/bedroom accommodation is currently over two stories, however, the property benefits from an expansive cellar space and garage, offering potential for conversion subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions.

The property is entered via a UPVC and glazed panel door into an entrance porch with a further wood framed door giving access to the entrance hallway. The entrance hallway is a bright and inviting space with a solid wood staircase leading to the first floor accommodation and doorways leading to two reception rooms, two ground floor bedrooms and a family shower room.

The lounge is located to the rear of the property and is an impressive sized room boasting far ranging rural views. It features an ornate feature fireplace, original ceiling roses with complimentary coving, a bay window with a doorway giving access to the conservatory and a set of patio doors providing light, garden views and access to outside.
The sitting room is located to the front of the property and enjoys an ornate feature fireplace, a box bay window to front and useful alcove storage areas with display shelving.

Beyond the sitting room a doorway leads into the kitchen/diner. The kitchen/diner conveniently offers a separate UPVC pedestrian door to front providing direct access to the kitchen from the front of the property. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of contemporary base and wall mounted units with a laminated worksurface over. It features a white ceramic sink unit with spray mixer tap over, integrated dishwasher, integrated electric oven with a four burner halogen hob above and space for a large fridge/freezer. To one side of the room are two large obscure glazed windows and the dining area beyond the kitchen can comfortably house a large dining table and chairs. A conservatory extension has been added onto the end of the room which is flooded with natural light from a pitched glazed roof, windows offering beautiful views and a set of patio doors giving access to the garden.
Remaining on the ground floor are two double bedrooms and a family shower room. Bedroom one is located to the rear of property and features one wall of full height wardrobe storage and a bay window to the rear offering far ranging views. Bedroom two has windows to two elevations, built in corner wardrobes and provides access to a useful airing storage cupboard. The family shower room has been fitted with a white three piece suite comprising; corner shower cubicle with sliding glazed doors and an electric shower fitted, vanity wash hand basin with storage below and a low level WC with built in hidden cistern. There is an obscure glazed window to the front and a wall mounted towel rail.

To the first floor the landing gives access to the remaining bedroom accommodation and a useful cloaks storage cupboard. Bedroom three is a comfortable sized double bedroom with a large window to the rear providing breathtaking views. Bedroom four is an L shaped room currently set up with two single beds but is another comfortable sized double bedroom. It features a velux window to the side and has access to another useful storage cupboard. Bedroom five is a generous sized single bedroom featuring a velux window. The family bathroom has been fitted with a three piece suite comprising; corner bath with glazed shower screen, pedestal wash hand basin and low level WC.

To the outside the property sits on approximately a third of an acre that is made up of beautiful landscaped front and rear gardens. A set of wrought iron double gates give access to a long sweeping brick pavia driveway offering ample off road parking. The garden to the front is mainly laid to lawn with mature plant and hedge borders providing privacy from the roadside. At the bottom of the driveway is a large garage accessed via an electric roller shutter door. It has a solid concrete floor and stretches over 22’ in length. The garage currently houses the recently fitted Worcester gas combination boiler and has a doorway leading to the impressive cellar space. The cellar has an abundance of fitted base and wall mounted kitchen units. There is plumbing installed to run a washing machine and at the far end there is a useful plumbed toilet and sink unit.

The remaining landscaped gardens are laid mainly to lawn and stretch over various tiers. Leading from the ground floor of the property is an enclosed paved patio area with stone steps leading down the the lawned gardens. One area of the garden could offer potential buyers the opportunity to build an additional dwelling / annex subject to obtaining planning permission. There is an array of mature plants and shrubs and the garden is fully enclosed. There is a small double gate at the very rear of the garden providing access into a rear lane. A desirable feature of the garden is a recently installed endless outdoor swimming pool. The pool features a resistance wave setting, ideal for building up stamina in exercise. The pool also benefits from a weather shelter and is temperature controlled. All the mechanics of the pool are housed safely within the pool summer house and there is a useful outside shower area.
