Summary - 19A HIGH STREET DOWLAIS TOP MERTHYR TYDFIL CF48 3PN
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter or investment with garden and fast broadband.
Freehold two-bedroom terraced house, around 620 sq ft
This two-bedroom terraced house on High Street, Dowlais Top, is a straightforward, chain-free purchase ideal for first-time buyers or investors seeking an affordable entry into the market. The property offers a large living room, a kitchen with dining space, two upstairs bedrooms and an enclosed rear garden plus a front yard — practical outdoor space rarely found at this price. At about 620 sq ft on freehold tenure, the home presents good scope for cosmetic improvement and reconfiguration to increase value.
The area is a working-class, very deprived neighbourhood with higher-than-average crime levels; prospective buyers should factor this into insurance and rental considerations. Services are good — excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — and road links (A465/A470) give direct access to nearby towns. Council tax is very low, and there is no flood risk.
Internally the property is presented with a contemporary-style living room but overall offers clear potential rather than a finished renovation. Expect to carry out updating and personalise finishes; any major mechanical or structural issues have not been declared and should be confirmed via survey. For investors, the small plot and compact layout suit a rental let; for first-time buyers, the low asking price and chain-free status simplify moving in.
Viewers should consider the balance of low purchase price against local socio-economic challenges and potential maintenance or modernisation costs. The house is best for someone wanting an affordable starter home or a renovation project with straightforward, local commuter access.
