Summary - 36 ST JOHNS TERRACE NEATH ABBEY NEATH SA10 7NB
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Low-cost starter or renovation buy close to Swansea Bay and transport.
Freehold two-bedroom semi-detached, around 776 sq ft
An affordable two-bedroom semi-detached home on St Johns Terrace offering straightforward living space and clear scope to add value. The house is freehold, double-glazed and has gas central heating, with a private rear garden and on-street parking. Rooms are modest in size across around 776 sq ft; the layout suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry purchase with scope for cosmetic improvement.
The property requires modernisation — finishes are dated and flooring shows wear — so expect decorating, garden clearance and potential updates to kitchen and bathroom. Construction details indicate solid floors, pitched roof with loft insulation and assumed uninsulated walls; the property lies within 1km of a former coalfield/mining area which may affect some surveys and insurance quotes.
Location strengths include easy access to Swansea Bay, local shops, pubs and good transport links (Skewen station, local buses and the M4). Broadband and mobile signal are strong. Practical advantages include a cheap council tax band B and a decent plot for a town location, but note the local area has higher-than-average crime and sits in a very deprived ward, which may influence resale demand and lettings.
This is a pragmatic purchase for a buyer willing to carry out modest works to modernise and personalise. For investors, the property’s size and location offer rental potential once refurbished; for a first-time buyer it provides an economical foothold in the area with room to grow value through improvement.
