Detached house for sale in Glascoed, Pontypool NP4

Open countryside views are observed from the main garden at the front of this superb period property.

Inside a wealth of history is found within the abundance of period features. From curved stone stairwells to inglenook fireplaces, exposed beamed ceilings to solid herringbone and quarry tiled floors, this cosy home offers endless character.
