Gemma added the school has previously suffered vandalism which resulted in water damage. She said: "There is an overage clause so potential buyers will need to check the legal pack for more information.

"The town of Abertillery offers good local amenities with schools, modern leisure facilities and excellent road links to the M4 and the A465, Heads of the Valleys. There is a direct rail link to Cardiff from the station at Llanhilleth which is just a short drive away."
