Inside the 1930s house on sale for 230,000 that hasn't changed for 80 YEARS

A HOME for sale in Wales has the same authentic decor as when it was built 80 years ago.

The detached home in Cross Hands, near Llanelli, was built in 1939 and has changed very little since that time - even the furniture is from that era.

It has remained in the same family since the keys were first handed over in 1939, but the current owners have reluctantly put the property, called Heol Bryngwili, on sale for £230,000 so they can downsize.

The house has many art deco features such as panelled crittal windows and a first floor balcony.

Originally the house may have had a typical flat roof style but it has since been redone with a pitched roof.

An authentic glass-panelled front door leads to a hallway with its original woodwork and a built-in telephone and seating area.

Throughout the property are deep coving and skirting boards as well as solid wood panelled interior doors.

Over the crittal windows in the front reception room are decorative window pelmets featuring a classic 'stepped' design.

There is also a tiled fireplace topped with an arched alcove.

It was common in the 1930s for the front room to be the location for entertaining guests, known as the parlour, while the rear sitting room would have been a casual space for the family to relax.

The small kitchen was redone in the 1980s and has white cupboards with pale blue worktops.

The adjoining boiler room, side entrance hallway and pantry could all be incorporated to make a larger kitchen under the management of a new owner.

Three large bedrooms occupy the first floor of the house, with the master bedroom at the front.

Meanwhile the bathroom features original 1930s detailed green tiling, which is hard to find in any home today.

The bath, which may have been replaced as it does not have the classic roll-top, has a canopy over it.

The bathroom also features a 1930s style basin and taps, ceiling coving and window pelmets.

The rear garden is large and there is also a lawned area at the side of the property.

There is a garage and workshop at the back of the land.

It is a unique opportunity to be able to buy a house with its traditional decor so well intact.
