Church Road, Cwmbran, NP44

Guide £200,000 - £220,000

Situated on Church Road in Pontnewydd, on the outskirts of Cwmbran town centre, this property has been thoughtfully extended with a full-width double-storey addition that creates a wonderful flow between old and new. Walking through the front door, you'll immediately notice the beautiful hallway with its feature ceiling and heritage Farrow & Ball 'Pigeon No.25' walls setting the tone for this characterful home.

The front reception room maintains the property's Edwardian heritage with tall skirting boards, elegant cornice work, and a stunning bay window. The walls are finished in sophisticated Farrow & Ball 'Hague Blue', creating a perfect backdrop for the cosy log burner. Original floorboards have been lovingly restored, adding authentic character to this inviting space. The second reception area offers a more contemporary feel, in keeping with the owner's vision of blending traditional elements at the front with modern styling towards the rear extension.

The sociable kitchen-diner forms the heart of this home, featuring a practical island and benefiting from the full-width extension. French doors lead directly to the cottage-style garden, while Velux windows flood the dining area with natural light. Practical understairs storage provides the perfect place for household essentials.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom connects directly to the family bathroom through a convenient changing area and walk-in wardrobe. The second double bedroom completes this floor. The traditional two-up two-down layout has been cleverly enhanced with a proper third bedroom in the converted loft space, offering lovely views over Cwmbran, practical under-eave storage, a Velux window and an attractive chimney feature - all with full building control approval.

The characterful family bathroom boasts a magnificent clawfoot roll-top bath, separate shower, originally painted floorboards, and a Victorian fireplace. An imposing original-style radiator adds both warmth and period charm to this distinctive space.

Outside, the cottage-style garden captures the afternoon sun and features a beautiful clematis climber on the fence. The thoughtfully designed 4.2-metre space maintains proportional harmony with the rest of the property. Rendered garden walls painted in heritage grey (similar to that found in World Heritage Blaenavon) create an elegant backdrop for the seating area. Lavender hedging frames the garden path, and there's a practical shed with double-glazed windows.

The property enjoys a wonderful village community feel, with Pontnewydd Primary School just at the end of the street. Cwmbran town centre is conveniently close, offering excellent amenities including a JD Sports gym coming soon and the existing Nuffield gym just down the road. Local dining options include The Bush and Queens (a vegan-friendly pub) within walking distance, serving great food and entertainment, plus the highly-regarded Be Vito restaurant and a good local chip shop. Transport links are excellent with buses into town every 20 minutes and the train station a pleasant 20-minute walk away. The beautiful canal is just two minutes from your doorstep, perfect for leisurely walks, while the popular Cwmbran boating lake provides another tranquil waterside retreat.
