Close to Bridgend station, M4 J36 and local retail amenities
A substantial three-bedroom semi-detached dormer bungalow on a large plot in Pen-y-fai, offered chain free and with scope for significant added value. The layout includes a ground-floor lounge, kitchen/dining room, bedroom and bathroom, with two further double bedrooms and a second bathroom on the first floor — a usable family layout that responds well to extension or modernisation.
Built in the 1960s and currently in need of renovation, the property retains practical features such as double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating and generous off-street parking with driveway and detached garage/storage. Energy Rating D and cavity walls with no installed insulation indicate straightforward upgrade opportunities to improve running costs and comfort.
Location is a genuine strength: Pen-y-fai village sits about a mile from Bridgend town centre with mainline rail links to Cardiff and Swansea, quick access to the M4 (J36) and nearby retail at McArthurGlen. For buyers seeking a project, the bungalow offers a large footprint, good room proportions and scope to create a modern family home or a rental asset with strong commuter appeal.
Be candid about the work required: the house needs modernisation throughout, cosmetic and likely some fabric upgrades (insulation, kitchen and bathrooms). The surrounding area shows average local crime and high broader area deprivation — factor in local market dynamics when planning refurbishment budgets.
