Set a few minutes from Merthyr Tydfil town centre, this three-bedroom freehold offers practical family living and strong commuter links to Cardiff and the Valleys. The layout includes a spacious lounge, a kitchen and a conservatory that opens onto a manageable rear garden — useful for summer entertaining and everyday outdoor play.
Practical benefits include a single garage, a large private driveway and fast broadband, making the home well suited to families or first-time buyers who need space for cars and home working. The property was built in the 1980s, has cavity walls, mains gas central heating and double glazing installed before 2002, so the core fabric is sound and energy performance is typical of its era.
There are some straightforward updating needs: the conservatory and some interior finishes are dated and would benefit from modernisation. The home has one bathroom for three bedrooms, which may be a consideration for larger families. The area shows higher-than-average crime and is described as very deprived, so buyers should consider local services and security measures when viewing.
Overall this is a practical, move-in-ready property with sensible parking, outdoor space and good transport links. It presents a clear short-term home for a family or a rental-investment opportunity with scope to add value through modest refurbishment.
