Description

This detached four-bedroom house is set in a rural position with approximately 2.89 acres of land, including a paddock, a wooded area and a stream. The land has a separate gated access at its lower end. The house is vacant and chain free, and the listing describes it as needing updating. The ground floor has a long dual-aspect living room with a feature fireplace and exposed beams, alongside a spacious kitchen and dining room. Upstairs are three larger bedrooms, a smaller fourth bedroom and a family bathroom with a bath and separate shower. The oil-fired boiler is reported to have been installed in early 2024. Outside, the house has lawned gardens with mature shrubs and trees, off-street parking for four cars, a covered area, an outside WC, a storage shed and a boiler shed. The property is freehold, has mains water and electricity, and private drainage. Pontyberem is around ten minutes away, with Cross Hands and the A48 approximately fifteen minutes away. The stated floor area is about 1,446 sq ft. The house and grounds offer scope for updating, with the condition of the private drainage and other services to be checked as part of due diligence.

36out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

The standout here is the setting: around 2.89 acres with a separate gated access, paddock and a wooded stream, alongside a long dual-aspect living room and a spacious kitchen-diner. The house looks intact, and the dated finishes and worn floors offer a clear, light-scale project to refresh the interiors and make the most of those generous rooms and extensive grounds. The reported 2024 oil boiler installation is also a useful head start.

The main drawback is the price. At £300,000, the asking price is around £207 per sq ft against a local average of £168, so it is dear on that measure. Adding the £8,500–£17,000 refurb range puts the purchase-plus-refurb cost at roughly £308,500–£317,000, stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of renovated value. The land and rural character are distinctive, but the numbers make this a weak overall opportunity at the current asking price.

Key opportunities

  • Make the most of the paddock, wooded stream and separate gated access for a smallholding-style lifestyle or managed outdoor space.
  • Refresh the long dual-aspect living room, spacious kitchen-diner and older finishes to suit a new owner.
  • Build on the established gardens, mature trees and hedges rather than starting with a bare site.

Key risks

  • At the current asking price, even the light refurb budget leaves purchase-plus-works costs stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area.
  • Purchase plus works may take you to around £312,750 once the asking price and an estimated £12,750 of refurbishment are combined, leaving a gap of around 22% versus area norms for this sqft. Finished value after works is not modelled here.
