Three-bed freehold with driveway and renovation potential sold at auction.
Three bedrooms and one bathroom, around 1,002 sq ft
Set on Pentrechwyth Road, this three-bedroom end-terrace offers a spacious, blank-canvas home or a buy-to-let opportunity in SA1. The property benefits from internal wall insulation fitted in 2022, double glazing (installed before 2002) and a mains gas boiler with radiators, so basic thermal and heating elements are in place. A front driveway plus gated rear access provide uncommon off-street parking for the area.
The house is built before 1900 on sandstone/limestone walls (assumed uninsulated) and requires renovation throughout: the kitchen is dated with peeling finishes, and general redecoration and updating are needed to bring the property up to modern standards. The freshly plastered walls mean much of the internal prep work is done, making it easier to decorate and refit to your specification.
Important practical points: the property will be sold at auction with a 56-day completion expectation and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, subject to a minimum). A Buyer Information Pack must be purchased. The surrounding area is very deprived with high local crime levels and constrained renter demographics—factors that will affect resale and rental demand and should inform lending and investment decisions.
For a buyer prepared to invest time and budget, this freehold end-terrace sits on a decent plot in the city with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. It is a straightforward renovation or rental-refurbishment project with clear value drivers (parking, size, insulation upgrade) and transparent risks (local deprivation, crime, renovation requirement, auction purchase process).
