Situated in an elevated position offering far ranging views to the front on the lower area of Cimla Road is this truly whimsical three bedroom character home. Situated just a brief stroll to the neighbouring Gnoll Estate and less than a ten minute walk into Neath town centre, this property offers a rare opportunity to thoroughly enjoy all the local amenities on your doorstep but transports you somewhere magical once inside the boundary wall.

The property is entered via a side storm porch with an attractive solid wood door into a welcoming entrance hallway, with limestone paved flooring, panelled walls with exposed ceiling beams and picture rail, a partially exposed tread staircase with useful storage cupboard and an original picture stained glass bow window at the foot of the stairs.

Leading from the hallway are two reception rooms and the kitchen. Both reception rooms have solid oak flooring and a continuation of the wood panelled walls and exposed ceiling beams. The living room offers a large bay window to the front, flooding the room with natural light and provides views of the front garden. The real focal point within the room is the imposing yet charming fireplace, featuring a real wood burning stove set within an alcove, beautifully decorated with wood shelving and quaint lead and stained glass windows to either side.
The dining room continues to exude the rustic charm with a large feature fireplace to one wall set on an ornate mahogany surround and has a window to the front providing light and the same views and the living room.

The kitchen has been sympathetically upgraded and offers a range of contemporary fitted base and wall mounted units, with a playful rainbow patterned splashback. It offers a free standing range cooker with an eight burner gas hob, space for fridge/freezer, original wood framed windows to two aspects, a matt black composite sink unit with a swan neck mixer tap and gives access to a useful pantry storage cupboard that houses the modern gas combination boiler.
A side door off the kitchen leads into the galley utility area. Extending the full width of the property, the room has a window to the front, a range of worksurface spaces, a plumbed ceramic sink unit and space for white goods disguised behind a curtain. A door to the rear of the utility provides access to the garden.

To the first floor the irregular shaped landing gives access to all three bedrooms, the family bathroom and a generous sized storage cupboard. A large window at the top of the stairs provides natural light onto the space and the solid oak wood floors continue throughout.
Bedrooms one and two are of a similar size and are equally as charming. The both feature built in wardrobes, have a large window to the front and windows to the side. Bedroom one has far ranging views provided by the side window and is laid mainly to carpet. Each bedroom are good sized double bedrooms and feature their own ornate feature fireplace.
Bedroom three is a well-proportioned single bedroom with a continuation of the solid wood flooring with natural light provided by a small velux style roof window.
The family bathroom is an inviting and relaxing space. It has also been sympathetically upgraded to include low level WC, pedestal wash hand basin and a free-standing roll top bath with shower head tap attachments. The room is finished off with half panelled walls, wooden display shelving, a wall mounted vanity unit and an obscure glazed window to the side.

Outside to the front of the property the retaining boundary wall has been recently rebuilt and provides access via a tall wooden gate with a slate roof archway into the garden. The garden is laid mainly to lawn with mature shrub and plant borders. A sheltered decked area to one side makes for an ideal spot to take some shade and enjoy far ranging views down onto Neath town. A cobbled pathway to one side continues alongside the garden leading to the front porch and a further set of wooden double gates gives access to the rear garden.

The rear garden has been transformed into a carpenters sanctuary. One area of the garden has been created into a wood workshop, completely sheltered from the elements and benefits from power supply. There is an abundance of chopped wood currently stored around the workshop (available under separate negotiation) with hand crafted stairs leading up to a mezzanine floor. This raised platform is also sheltered to keep the wood store dry and offers a birds -eye view on the lawned area below. On this floor is an enclosed poultry pen and the platform is enclosed by a wooden balustrade and picket gate. Below the platform a set of wooden double gates provides access to storage. There is a sizeable lawned are in the middle of the garden accessed via a solid roof archway and wooden gate. Across from the workshop area within the lawned garden is a further storage shed and green house. The lawned area is bordered by mature trees, plants and shrubs. Adjoined to the property is a further sheltered area, ideal for entertaining with a real wood burning stove and benefits from power supply. Viewings on this property are highly recommended.
