Glan Yr Afon, Skewen, Neath, SA10 6BE

Set along a quiet no-through lane just off Cardonnel Road, this traditional stone-built semi-detached home enjoys an idyllic setting within the popular village of Skewen. Beautifully extended to the side over two storeys, the property now offers an impressive open-plan kitchen and living space, complete with modern bi-fold doors that open effortlessly onto the expansive, private garden — creating the perfect indoor–outdoor family hub. The first floor of the extension provides a superb master suite featuring a generous walk-in dressing room and a contemporary en-suite shower room.

Inside, the home offers three versatile reception rooms, a recently upgraded utility room and three double bedrooms, two of which benefit from private en-suite shower rooms. A fully insulated loft conversion, accessed via a fixed staircase, provides an excellent additional room — ideal as a home office, hobby space or snug — and features eaves storage, a Velux-style window and a built-in media wall. The family bathroom has been carefully styled to retain the property’s period charm, complete with a roll-top bath, pedestal basin, low-level WC and traditional single-glazed shower cubicle.

The beautifully appointed kitchen forms the heart of the home, boasting a central island, quartz worktops, integrated double oven, electric hob, wine cooler, dishwasher and a sunken quartz sink with instant boiling water tap. Oak flooring flows through the lounge and dining areas, where an ornate feature fireplace adds a further touch of character.

Externally, the property offers a level hard-standing driveway for one large vehicle, two outbuildings with power supply and a small courtyard adjacent to the composite stable door, which serves as the main day-to-day entrance. The principal garden lies to the front, bordered by mature trees and shrubs, offering a generous lawn and a raised, sheltered decked area for outdoor dining and relaxation. Most UPVC double-glazed units have been recently replaced, and the property benefits from all mains services.

Ideally positioned within walking distance of shops, restaurants, medical practices, a train station and a primary school — and less than five minutes from the M4 — this superb home offers the perfect blend of character, convenience and modern family living.
