Two-bedroom town-centre home with period charm and renovation potential.
End-of-terrace Victorian with original period features
This Victorian end-of-terrace offers a compact, characterful home in the heart of Penarth, a short walk from shops and the train station. Original features such as sash windows, stripped wooden floors, a fireplace and cornicing give immediate period appeal while the extended ground floor provides an open-plan lounge/dining area and a breakfast space with French doors to the garden.
The house is practical for a couple or small family and benefits from gas central heating, some uPVC double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home-working. The rear garden is a useful private space with pedestrian access to a lane and a timber store shed. Freehold tenure and no flooding risk are further positives.
The property does require cosmetic upgrading throughout and presents a renovation opportunity: kitchen and bathroom are basic and would benefit from modernising, and some areas show typical wear. Council Tax is high (Band E) and the wider neighbourhood scores as a very deprived area, which may affect resale timing and rental yields.
Overall this is a well-located Victorian terrace with genuine period character and sensible room proportions. It suits a buyer looking to add value through modest refurbishment, a first-time buyer wanting central convenience, or an investor prepared to upgrade and rent in a town-centre location.
