The property comprises a single-storey chapel building, which is situated within a substantial size enclosed compound, along a relatively busy prominent main road position within Gorseinon town centre.

Internally, the chapel comprises the entrance porch located over the southern elevation, which provides access directly onto the main naïve. The subject premises also extends further to the rear in the form of a single storey addition, which accommodates two separate toilet cubicles, including disabled w.c. facilities and a small kitchen area. The site also benefits from a small outbuilding located over the northwest corner, providing external w.c. facilities.

Externally, the subject premises is located within a relatively large plot, which appears to be denoted by wrought iron and timber panel fencing in the majority, while the front elevation is denoted by a small retaining stone wall, supported by wrought iron fencing, including a small gated entrance over the front elevation, facing the main highway. Based on its current layout we note that adequate designated on-site parking facilities are available to accommodate a large number of vehicles to the front of the main building, for in excess of 30 standard car parking spaces in total.

The entire site equates to approximately 0.287 acre (0.116 hectare), which is of a regular shape and relatively level.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
