A compact three-bedroom Victorian terrace offered as a clear investment opportunity in Treherbert, Treorchy. The property is currently let to a long-term tenant who wishes to remain, providing immediate rental income and portfolio growth potential. Internally the layout is traditional: two reception rooms, a rear kitchen and a first-floor family bathroom. The house has double glazing fitted post-2002 and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
The fabric is typical of a pre-1900 sandstone/limestone terrace and appears to lack wall insulation (assumed). Interiors need modernisation throughout — exposed plaster, dated fixtures and finishes, and some repair work are noted — which presents scope for value-added refurbishment and improved rental yield after works. The rear tiered garden with lane access is small but practical for tenants.
Buyers should weigh the upside against location realities: the property sits in a very deprived area with endeavouring social renters and average crime levels. Council tax is very low and there is no flood risk, but the local market will reflect constrained capital growth compared with stronger areas. This is best suited to landlords wanting a cashflow asset with refurbishment potential rather than a renovation for owner-occupation.
