Set in the popular village of Alltwen, this two-bedroom semi-detached house offers a practical first home with clear scope to add value. The layout includes an entrance hall with understairs storage, a reception room, fitted kitchen with utility area, and a family bathroom downstairs; two double bedrooms occupy the first floor. A south-facing rear garden, attached garage and raised frontage provide outdoor space and privacy.
Key strengths are straightforward: freehold tenure, double glazing fitted after 2002, off-street garage, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. Good road links to the M4 and local amenities nearby make commuting or everyday shopping convenient. The EPC rating is D (57) and council tax band is low, which helps running costs.
There are several practical issues to consider. The property is heated by an oil-fired boiler, which can be costlier and requires tank maintenance. Walls are cavity-built with no confirmed insulation, so heating efficiency may be below modern standards. The area is in a deprived ward, which can affect long-term resale in some market conditions. The house is mid-20th century and will suit buyers prepared to modernise rather than those wanting a turnkey finish.
Overall, this home is suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable project in a village setting. It offers a decent plot, parking and genuine potential to improve energy performance and interior finishes, creating both a comfortable home and room for future uplift.
