Situated in an elevated position is this beautifully kept, five double bedroom, freehold Victorian semi-detached home, full of character & original features.
Number 62 Pentyla Baglan Road was built around 1895 by the Talbot family. Christopher Rice Mansel Talbot was the local landowner who gave his name to Port Talbot, and the original deeds for the property show his daughter, Emily Talbot, as the first Transferor of this home.Â
Throughout the decades, the property has been exceptionally maintained and upgraded, and remains in an immaculate condition throughout.Â
Many original features remain, such as the tiles in the entrance hallway, parquet flooring in the living room & billiard room, coving, and nearly-ten-feet tall, beautifully wall-papered ceilings.Â
More recently in 2019, the property was fitted with a new roof with a 30 year guarantee, and a new gas-combi boiler. The current owners have added a wood burner to the living room, additional insulation to the dining room extension, several new windows and carpets, and re-decorated throughout.Â
The accommodation is set over three floors, with a large entrance hallway, living room, billiard room, large kitchen & breakfast room, dining room, utility room and WC on the ground floor; a Master-En-Suite, two double bedrooms and family bathroom on the first floor; and a further two double bedrooms with eaves storage on the second floor.
Externally to the front there is a sweeping driveway leading to the property and parking for several vehicles. A south-facing lawn provides the perfect spot for an outdoor seating area, also equipped with lighting. The side of the building is gated and houses a wood store, bin store, outdoor power supply ideal for electric vehicles, and a water supply.Â
To the rear of the property is a very large tiered garden comprised of lawn and patio areas, offering great potential. The shed is to remain and the first and second tiers have a power supply.Â
Home CCTV is installed and will be remaining.
This home must be viewed internally to really appreciate the character, size and possibilities.Â
