This Victorian mid-terrace on Cottrell Street is a spacious two-bedroom freehold with clear renovation potential. At approximately 1,314 sq ft it offers generous room proportions for a terrace property, including a living room with bay window, separate kitchen, first-floor bathroom and a ground-floor WC. A small, low-maintenance rear garden and a detached garage add practical outdoor space and secure storage or parking.
The house requires updating throughout: cosmetic wear, ceiling damage in the living room, and likely wall insulation works (solid brick, presumed uninsulated). The kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated, and the property will benefit from general modernisation and potential heating or glazing upgrades (double glazing present; installation date unknown). These factors are reflected in the asking price and make the home suited to buyers comfortable managing a refurbishment project.
Location strengths include close proximity to local shops, schools, public transport, canalside amenities and leisure facilities in Aberfan. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal excellent. The immediate area is classed as very deprived with an endeavouring local demographic, but crime levels are very low, and the neighbourhood offers community facilities and good connectivity.
This house is a sensible option for a first-time buyer seeking extra space to add value, or an investor targeting rental demand in a town-fringe location. Budget for renovation and possible insulation or structural checks; once updated, the property can become a comfortable family home or reliable income generator.
