Summary - 34, VALE STREET DY3 3XD
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious plot with garage and excellent school links for families.
Detached two-bedroom house with loft room and strong rear views
This detached two-bedroom home in Upper Gornal pairs mid‑century character with clear scope to add value. Bay-fronted reception rooms, exposed beams and generous proportions give an immediate sense of space, while the loft room and pantry add practical storage. A gated driveway and single garage provide secure off‑street parking, and the mature rear garden benefits from strong rear aspect and far-reaching views.
The property will suit a family or investor willing to modernise. The interior shows period fittings and older floorcoverings; the kitchen and bathroom would benefit from updating. Construction details suggest cavity walls (assumed uninsulated) and a mix of timber single glazing and aluminium double glazing — upgrading insulation and glazing would improve comfort and running costs. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; all mains services are connected.
Location is a genuine strength: useful amenities and several well‑rated primary and secondary schools are close by. Broadband is reported fast and flood risk is negligible. Be candid about the local context — the area records higher deprivation than average and crime is described as average — but the site and accommodation give strong refurbishment and rental potential for a buyer focused on long‑term gain.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful detached house with a private garden, parking and loft potential. It offers a realistic project for a family seeking extra space or an investor targeting improvement-driven returns, provided buyers budget for modernisation and thermal upgrades.
