This mid-terrace Victorian property on High Street, Porth, is offered chain-free and presents a straightforward investment or renovation opportunity. The house is freehold with three bedrooms, a lounge/diner, kitchen/breakfast room and a ground-floor bathroom. A useful basement room with power, light and water (separate access) adds flexible space for an office, storage or ancillary rental use.
Key positives include mains gas central heating, fast broadband in the area, and historically steady rental use (previously tenanted for ten years). Council tax is very low, helping running costs. The property’s compact footprint and central location suit a buy-to-let investor or buyer seeking a city-centre starter home with income potential.
There are clear and material downsides to factor into costs. The house is small overall with a very small rear plot. Internal photos and description indicate dated fixtures, damp patches in the living room and likely need for modernisation throughout. The sandstone walls appear uninsulated (assumed), so thermal upgrades will be necessary to improve comfort and efficiency. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect tenant demand and long‑term capital growth.
This property suits an investor or hands-on buyer prepared to budget for renovation and damp remediation. The basement’s separate access and services offer scope to add value, but purchasers should commission surveys and factor upgrade costs into their offer.
