Gareth L Edwards Ltd are pleased to offer this unique detached double fronted cottage situated off the common in Pen-Y-Cae and standing in its own grounds offering great potential to renovate or develop. The cottage was built in 1860's, historically it is believed to have originally been two semi-detached cottages on this plot however the adjoining cottage was never actually built so now it stands as a 2/3 bedroomed detached cottage. The property has the original stone spiral staircase giving access to the first floor. The cottage is in need of modernising. The property is in generous grounds which needs clearance in parts with a large garage and an outbuilding which was formerly a stable block but is now a two storey structure with power and lighting.
The main cottage and outbuilding had new roofs in approximately 2017/2018, and a gas combination central heating system was installed but the date is unknown, the electric fuse box was updated in 2014. The cottage is located just off the common but still retains all main services including mains gas, electric, water & drainage. The property is located just off junction 36 of the M4 motorway at McArthur Glen, with close proximity to facilities and amenities. The cottage is set in a semi-rural location and an internal viewing is highly recommended strictly by appointment only. The property has uPVC double glazing.
