Set on a quiet street in Blaenrhondda, this freehold two-bedroom end terrace offers practical space and a small, low-maintenance garden. The ground floor has an open lounge/diner, kitchen and cloakroom/WC; upstairs are two double bedrooms and a first-floor shower room. The property is vacant and chain-free, ready for immediate occupation or letting.
The house has genuine positives for a first purchase or holiday base: compact rooms that are easy to heat, a neat paved courtyard with artificial grass, and close access to local walking trails and a nearby stream. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is very low, helping running costs.
Buyers should note this is an older, terraced property built c.1900–1929 with sandstone/limestone walls assumed to lack insulation, double glazing fitted before 2002, and no central heating system currently installed (electric heaters assumed). The small plot and modest overall size suit buyers not seeking large gardens or extensive living space. The wider area is socially and economically challenged, which may affect resale value and community amenities.
For those prepared to modernise, simple improvements (insulation, heating upgrade, secondary glazing or a modern heating system) would increase comfort and long-term value. The property’s rural setting and no-onward-chain status make it a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers, buyers seeking a compact countryside base, or investors targeting affordable lets.
