Set on Old Road in Skewen, this two-bedroom Victorian terrace offers an affordable entry into a town-centre location. The house has a generous lounge-diner, a kitchen opening onto a private rear garden, and a downstairs family bathroom — practical layouts for everyday living. Gas central heating and double glazing provide basic comfort and energy efficiency; the EPC is C and council tax band B.
The property is best suited to first-time buyers or investors willing to update. The stone-built façade and period character give good kerb appeal, while the compact footprint and small rear plot keep maintenance simple. Internally the rooms are functional though will benefit from cosmetic modernisation and redecoration to achieve full potential.
Be aware of some constraints: the house dates from before 1900 and the external walls are likely uninsulated (assumed sandstone/limestone construction). The double glazing installation date is unknown. The immediate area is classified as very deprived with average crime levels, which affects long-term prospects and rental demand. Broadband speeds are fast and the property is freehold, which are useful positives for buyers.
At £125,000 this terraced home presents clear value for those prepared to invest time or money into updating. It offers a compact, characterful base in a well-connected town setting — a practical purchase for first-time owners or a budget-conscious buy-to-let opportunity.
