This mid-terrace Victorian/Edwardian home offers straightforward accommodation across two floors, presented with vacant possession and no onward chain — ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking an urban buy-to-let. The house provides two double bedrooms, a generous family bathroom, two reception rooms and a fitted kitchen, all arranged within an average-sized footprint typical of town terraces.
The property benefits from off-street parking and an enclosed rear garden with rear access. It sits within walking distance of Neath town centre and local schools, making day-to-day life convenient. Double glazing and gas central heating are already installed, reducing immediate major expenditure for new owners.
There is clear scope to add value through cosmetic modernisation: kitchen and bathroom upgrades, redecoration, and insulation improvements (walls are likely uninsulated). EPC currently TBC, but notes suggest reasonable energy-rating potential. The interior appears serviceable rather than finished, so expect DIY or refurbishment work to achieve contemporary standards.
Be mindful of location factors: the local area is classified as very deprived and recorded crime levels are above average. The plot and garden are small, and the property is a mid-terrace with street-facing urban views — factors to weigh against the strong central location and affordable price point.
