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
A former post office located in the popular area of Pontardawe.
The property is arranged over 4 floors with a commercial unit (currently A1 use) on the ground and lower ground floor levels, with a self contained three bedroom maisonette above.
This deceptively spacious building benefits from a large plot to the side which offers scope for development (subject to necessary planning consents) and also provides off road parking to the rear.
The maisonette has been well maintained and would suit immediate occupation. Pontardawe benefits from a good selection of amenities, shops, schools etc.
It is a very popular suburb of Swansea with the main city centre located approximately 9 miles to the south. The M4 motorway is also easily accessible.
Commercial Area Ground Floor: Entrance, open retail area, kitchenette area, W.C.
Lower Ground Floor: Ancillary/storage space Maisonette Ground Floor: Entrance hallway First Floor: Landing, W.C, kitchen/dining room, utility room, living room, bedroom Second Floor: Landing, 2 bedrooms (both with en suite) Outside Large plot to side and rear, off road parking.
