Forge Row, Cwmavon, Pontypool, NP4

Nestled in the heart of Cwmavon, Forge Row is part of a remarkable Grade II listed stone built terrace built circa 1804 to house workers of the Varteg Forge. Originally twelve compact cottages, they were later combined into seven during a sensitive restoration in the late 1980s. These charming stone-built homes reflect South Wales' rich industrial heritage, with original features like inglenook fireplaces and short winding Monmouth staircases beautifully preserved.
Set against a wooded hillside near the Afon Llwyd, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Welsh history in a tranquil, character-filled setting. It forms part of the Blaenavon Industrial Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The cottage is a deceptively spacious end terrace and comprises entrance hallway, with a wooden Monmouth staircase to bedroom two, larger than average FITTED KITCHEN with inglenook fireplace and room for a table, SPACIOUS LOUNGE with inglenook fireplace housing a cast iron LOG BURNER and second Monmouth staircase to bedroom one, inner lobby, GROUND FLOOR W.C. and ground floor BEDROOM THREE/STUDY.
To the first floor are two larger than average DOUBLE BEDROOMS, bedroom one spanning the entire width of the cottage with DUAL ASPECT VIEWS.
The first floor also has the master bathroom and an inner landing with cupboard space, housing the gas combination boiler.
To the front is a PICTURESQUE GARDEN with mature fruit trees and an abundance of flowers and shrubbery, a cobblestone pathway to side and a shared pathway to the PRIVATE COMMUNAL PARKING.
The front garden also has lower vegetable beds.
To the rear a wonderful raised cottage garden with flower beds divided by cobblestone access paths and stone walling.
The cottage has a seating area to a lower terrace and good private storage via an external built in cupboard to front.
A truly unique and rare opportunity.
