We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Description Apex Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this beautifully presented and truly unique four-bedroom detached property, situated in a peaceful and picturesque setting within the village of Hirwaun.
Appropriately named Riverside, this impressive family home offers spacious and versatile accommodation surrounded by nature, while remaining within easy reach of local shops, amenities and transport links.
Internally, the property comprises a grand entrance hallway, spacious living/dining room, fitted kitchen, second lounge, home office, utility room and ground-floor WC.
To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, together with a family bathroom and walk-in wardrobe/storage cupboard.
The property also benefits from an integral garage with direct access into the home. Externally, Riverside really sets itself apart.
To the front is a large driveway providing ample off-road parking, with further gated access extending along the side and rear of the property.
The generous wrap-around gardens are beautifully established with a variety of flowers, shrubs and mature trees, along with several patio and seating areas, a pond, two stables, wood store and brick-built storage shed.
One of the property's most distinctive features is the River Cynon (Afon Cynon), which flows behind the property and is known to support wild brown trout, creating a wonderfully peaceful and natural backdrop to the gardens.
Offering an unusual combination of generous family accommodation, extensive grounds, excellent parking, stables and a beautiful riverside setting, this is a property that really does need to be viewed to be fully appreciated.
Early viewing is highly recommended.
