House For Sale £425,000
Ty Saer, Yr Hen Llaethdy, Aberfan, Merthyr Tydfil

The current owner had always wanted to build a house, and when the right opportunity came along in 2002 he could not pass it up, especially because the land was in such a prime location. What you see now is the end result of a lot of hard work, but the owner tells us he "would not change a thing" and we can certainly understand why - it is not only a beautiful, well-built house, but it is also a special home, full of fond family memories.

There is no shortage of space here: there are five bedrooms (two with en-suite bathrooms), a stunning lounge, dining room, study/music room, fitted kitchen, a toilet/cloakroom on the ground floor, a conservatory, a large family bathroom, a utility room, a double garage, and an amazing garden at the rear. The elegant interior design reveals great care for detail; modernity and tradition blend effortlessly together in the combination of uncomplicated, sleek lines of the furniture with the wooden stairway, accompanied by the rich, ever so slightly decadent red carpet.

This family-friendly home is located in Aberfan. It is a well-connected area, with just a 10 min walk away from the train station with links to Merthyr and Cardiff, and a 5 min walk to the closest bus stop. Both Welsh and English schools are within short reach. If you are someone who enjoys nature, this is the perfect spot for you: The Taff Trail is on your doorstep, the Bike Park Wales is just 2-5 miles away, and the Brecon Beacons are 6 miles distant. Being in such a great location also means there are some phenomenal open views to the north and the south of the Valley.
