Area is very deprived with above-average crime — factor into decision
This two-bedroom semi-detached home on Usk Road offers an affordable route onto the property ladder in Bargoed. Set across three floors with 1,044 sq ft, the layout includes a lower-ground reception and kitchen with WC, a ground-floor open-plan reception, and two bedrooms plus a family bathroom on the first floor. The property is Freehold and council tax band C.
The house requires renovation throughout, presenting scope to modernise the kitchen, bathroom and internal finishes and to improve thermal performance (stone walls likely uninsulated). Double glazing is already installed, but dates from before 2002 and further upgrades may be needed. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators in place.
Location is a clear strength: a short walk to Bargoed railway station, quick access to the A469, and local shops and parks nearby. Investors will note the advertised 7% net yield; first-time buyers will value the low purchase price and potential to add value through improvement work. The rear garden and small front courtyard offer modest outdoor space to personalise.
Be realistic about neighbourhood factors: the area ranks as very deprived with above-average crime, and the local classification indicates mixed social renting. Renovation costs, potential insulation work, and local market conditions should be budgeted for before purchase. Flood risk is low and connectivity (mobile and broadband) is good.
