Old James Street, Blaenavon, Pontypool

2 Bedroom House for sale in Pontypool

1 2 1

This two bedroomed family home occupies a fabulous position within walking distance of the high street, primary school and the heritage centre and enjoys great vehicular connectivity with excellent road links to Abergavenny, Cwmbran and Newport nearby. Comprehensively renovated to a high standard in 2021/22, the property offers a contemporary presentation with a neutral décor throughout with the extensive refurbishment programme including a new roof, central heating system, uPVC windows and doors, electrical wiring, and a new kitchen and bathroom. The loft has been converted and although there is no building control completion certificate for this space, with a fixed staircase leading from the principal bedroom, it does make a great bonus area for a variety of purposes to suit.

This attractive, generously proportioned home is offered to the market with the added benefit of no onward chain and would suit a broad range of purchasers such as first time buyers, families and those down-sizing from larger homes. Being ready to move into and having been previously used as an investment property by a landlord, it would equally appeal to those seeking a home suitable for rental purposes as it is fitted with smoke and carbon monoxide alarms too.

Outside, this mid terraced home has an elevated position from the road with a forecourt to the front and a part wall enclosed, paved garden at the rear.

SITUATION

This property is in the World Heritage town of Blaenavon. Meaning “river source”, Blaenavon sits in an elevated position overlooking the Varteg Fawr and originally grew up around the ironworks, which is now a thriving museum. In 2000, UNESCO inscribed the Blaenavon Industrial Landscape as a World Heritage Site. This World Heritage town is home to the National Coal Museum at Big Pit, Blaenavon World Heritage Centre and the Pontypool and Blaenavon Steam Railway.

The town boasts many independent shops including a convenience store, grocers and post office. It also has several public houses as well as a successful ‘state of the art’ primary school. In addition, there are many fabulous walking trails and cycle routes which make the most of this unique post-industrial landscape.
Blaenavon is situated 5 miles from Pontypool and 7 miles from Abergavenny, both offering a comprehensive range of shopping and leisure facilities. Abergavenny boasts a wide selection of boutique style shops, restaurants, public houses and individual cafes whilst Pontypool offers a further range of high street stores, eateries and leisure activities. Both Abergavenny and Pontypool railway stations have regular services into central London via Newport, whilst road links give easy access to the motorway for Bristol, Birmingham, the South West and London.
