Freehold Pubs In Swansea – Run The Flying Pig
The Flying Pig, originally 3 cottages, was built in 1880, sat within a total plotof circa 1/2 of an acre, with the adjacent sloping grounds held on a separate title.
The unusual name is thought to have come from one of two historical points to the village. There is thought to have been a pig farm located on the hills above, or perhaps the name maybe have come from the colloquial term for a piece of mining equipment, that would have been regularly used at the local mine.
The property itself is a well supported community business, that is totally wet led. The property has two well sized internal trading areas, excellent and extensive owners accommodation, large outdoor terraces with stunning far reaching views. There are 3 customer parking spaces directly in front of the
property and on road parking in addition.There is scope to create a self contained Airbnb unit along with a large grassed area to the side and rear of the property offering significant development potential, subject to planning permission.
Ystalyfera is a former industrial village and community in the upper Swansea Valley, on the River Tawe, about 13 miles northeast of Swansea It’s population is just over 3,000 people. The history of Ystalyfera begins with a small farming family who shared the land. This is reflected in the village’s name, composed from the Welsh words, ynys (meaning island), tal (meaning tall) and berran (a composite of ber and rhan, indicating a land-share – a short piece of shared land, probably betweenagricultural labourers). Ystalyfera is home to Ystalyfera RFC – a rugby union club, which is an integral part of the village – and a cricket team.

Internal Details
Entering the property into an inner hallway, with a door to the right leading to the lounge bar. A well apportioned bar servery, offering seating for 20-25customers. There is a pool table (rented), jukebox (rented) disco lighting system and a tv, showing BT sport. The lounge bar is at the front of the property with a series of front facing windows offering views across the valley to the hills across.
In addition there is one of the 2 communal customer toilets and a further door to an inner hallway with doors leading to the communal kitchen, cellar and owners accommodation.
The communal kitchen, which is currently not used, benefits from a range of stainless steel appliances and storage. There is currently no extractor above the cooker with four ring hob, but the kitchen has recently had a 5 star hygiene rating and is ready and able to provide a food offering in the form of pizzas or sandwiches etc. The cellar offers power and light, walk in cupboard housing the boiler and
access door to the front of the property.
To the other side of the main hallway there is a door to the “smoke room”.
This is a multi function room, currently offering to the front half a music space with table and chairs, a special and unique mural, of a flying pig. To the rear half of the room, again with its own door, there is a pool table (rented) and feature replace.
This room when combined accommodates 30-40 sitting and standing customers and offers a flexible option for music or private events. At the end of the main hallway is the second of the communal customer
toilets.
External Details
The Flying Pig benefits from an extensive outside trading area. There is a large patio offering spectacular views across the valley. There is space for approximately 50 seating customers. There is also a covered terrace directly by the entrance with further seating for another customers to sit.
There are 3 dedicated customer parking bays in front of the property with on road parking in addition.
To the side and rear of the property there is currently unused ground which has significant opportunity to develop, subject to the usual planning permissions.
Letting Accommodation
There is a large room to one side of the property that offers the potential to provide a self contained studio room with its own entrance. In our opinion this offers a fantastic opportunity to offering a letting operation or extending to a B&B option.
Owner’s Accommodation
A real feature of the property is the owners accommodation. There is a stunning, triple aspect, double height, open plan living area. There are views to the front over the valley and to the hills opposite. The room itself has a feature log burner fireplace, kitchen area, modern shower room and a mezzanine sleeping area. In addition to this special room there are 3 further good sized bedrooms, one with its own further internal snug room, a family bathroom and a ground floor dining room with doors to outside.
Development Potential
The large expanse of rough grassland adjacent is held on a separate land registry title and therefore would lend itself to further investigation as a potential building plot subject to the normal consents.
