Property Description

Guide: £225,000 - £250,000

On the instructions of the Lasting Power of Attorneys.

The Chestnuts offers a rare opportunity to acquire a detached family home, with outbuildings on a Plot of approximately one third of an Acre (0.15 Hectare), in the heart of Port Eynon, a well-known Gower village popular for its coastal walks and beaches.

The Chestnuts Cottage is arranged over two floors. The accommodation extends to approximately 1,355 sq. ft. (126 m²) and includes two principal reception rooms, kitchen, utility, and shower room on the ground floor, with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate WC on the first floor.

Externally, there are mature gardens to the front, side, and rear, along with several outbuildings, including “The Bungalow”, a Workshop and a garage as well as space for off street parking. The Chestnuts benefits from having its own individual vehicular access from the adjoining public highway and the grounds offer a good degree of privacy and natural screening.

For retention in its current use, the property requires full renovation and presents an opportunity to restore or reconfigure the existing layout to suit modern living.
