We are honoured to bring to the market this fantastic period property located in the popular Uplands area of Pontardawe which has been owned by the same family for over 60 years and is being sold with no onward chain. The house is believed to have been constructed c1885 by the Gilbertsons (who owned the steel and tinplate works in Pontardawe) as a doctor's house, presumably to serve their expanding workforce. Along with the main house there is a stone outbuilding which still exists at the top right of the garden which was originally the stable for the Doctors horse. Whoever is fortunate enough to be the next owners of this property will get to enjoy the spacious accommodation it offers along with the expansive gardens and ample parking. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, inner hall with access to a cellar (used in the second world war as an air raid shelter), lounge, music room, kitchen with a second staircase to the first floor, utility room, cloakroom, separate w.c, study and a dining room which were formerly used as a doctor's surgery and a former reception area off the surgery. The large gardens are made up of a series of lawn areas with flowerbeds bordering, there is a lengthy drive which leads to a detached double garage with attached outbuildings there are stone walls bordering the garden, to the top corner is the former stable which is stone built with a slate roof which perfectly matches the character of the main house. The property has CCTV which allows monitoring when off site.
