Detached house for sale in Cardiff Road, Aberdare CF44

We are delighted to offer a very large and unique property situated just a few minutes from the town centre of Aberdare, with all its shops, amenities and travel network (trains, buses and road links)

This truly unique property is of a style that is seldom seen today, but is one that does exist throughout the rural areas of Pembrokeshire as well as in other places of the wales.
It is an old house with a great history, which is something that modern houses just don't have.

Built in 1846 by the preacher Thomas Price, this was originally a 2 story property. It was used as a meeting place for preaching while the church was being built behind. Eventually the church was demolished and the ground on which it stood is where Town Church Junior School stands today.

Shortly after the house was built, the houses opposite were being erected at the entrance of Cardiff Road. The preacher then decided that he didn't want his view spoilt so he decided to put another story on the property, turning it into the 3 story house that stands today.

The Front Garden
Once off the pavement, there is a well established garden with both shrubs and trees. These shield the house a little from passers by and this helps to maintain privacy.

Off the hall on the first floor there are 3 rooms and an entrance leading to the cellar.

The Study
The study is on the left as you enter the hall. It is a modest room complete with a large bookcase and ornate fireplace. It is a great place to work and relax in equal measure.

Lower Lounge
Opposite the study is a very large double room which used to be used to the family gatherings. It also has a lovely fireplace but the family now use the even larger living room on the first floor.

Scullery
The scullery is just that. It is a room that doubles as a second kitchen area, a place to store household items and also to enjoy the warmth of the log burner on those chilly winter days.

At the far end of the hallway there is a door on the right which leads to a flagstone floored cellar. In the corner of which stands a working well, where it is possible to collect and drink your own water if required.
