DREFACH,Carmarthenshire

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION:

The property is located within a recently completed, well laid out, fairly small and quiet estate of mixed design single storey, dormer style and split level bungalows being conveniently located within walking distance of village facilities within Drefach. Although centrally located, this and several of the other bungalows within this estate have rear gardens which abut and have superb uninterrupted views over open countryside.

Within the village of Drefach, local facilities include Post Office and general store, primary and secondary schools, garage and cricket club. The expanding centre of Cross Hands is within 3 miles distance and where local facilities include retail shops, Post Office, Library, Dentist, Medical Centre, Bank and Cinema, gymnasium and several multi-national superstores.

There is excellent road connection via the de-trunked A48 from Drefach on to the A48/M4 dual carriageway with connections at either Porthyrhyd or at Cross Hands with excellent road links to the Towns of Carmarthen (approx 7 miles), Llanelli (approx.12 miles), Ammanford (approx. 12 miles), Llandeilo (approx. 14mls) and to the City of Swansea (approx. 23miles).

The size of the detached bungalow is very deceptive from the appearance of the front elevation but it has split level accommodation on three floors with an approximate internal floor of 2,600 sq ft. and all principal rooms are well proportioned. It would also be easily possible to utilise the bedroom accommodation to the lower ground floor as a spacious self-contained flat if so desired.

The bungalow is situated on a very large plot with open forecourt lawn and garden and with wide tarmacadam surfaced entrance driveway which provides off road parking for several vehicles and also provides access to the Integral Garage. Paved pathways, which are gated for privacy and security, extend to either side of the bungalow and with steps to the beautifully landscaped side and rear gardens which extend down to a stream at considerably lower level than the rear garden and which are part natural woodland. To one side of the bungalow is sited a garden shed and there is an aluminium framed and glazed greenhouse.

The bungalow is built to modern standards being of cavity construction with traditional concrete block built cavity walls and retaining walls to the lower ground floor level and having timber framed inner skin with concrete block built outer skin to cavity walls at ground floor level. The property has light oak effect uPVC finish windows and doors with sealed double glazing and with facing brick features to the front and plinths but mainly having coloured render finish overall with concrete interlocking tiled saddle roof structure. The superb feature rockery has been formed of large boulders and has been planted with ornamental shrubs and trees. The main rear garden is a level lawn with wide paved patio and part screened with timber famed and boarded fencing. Adjoining and sloping down from this cultivated lawn and garden is a natural garden with mature trees and which slopes down to the small stream which forms a natural haven for an abundance of wildlife.
