This compact three-bedroom semi-detached house in Haulwen, Cwmdare, offers an affordable entry into homeownership. The property is freehold, sits on a small plot, and includes off-street parking plus a private rear garden — practical assets for first-time buyers.
The house requires modernization in parts, presenting a clear opportunity to add value through cosmetic upgrades and layout improvements. The living and dining rooms and a well-lit kitchen provide a sensible, traditional layout; the single bathroom and overall footprint suit a buyer seeking a smaller home or a renovation project rather than a large family residence.
Practical running costs are reasonable: the property has an EPC rating of C, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing, and an affordable council tax band C. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which helps for remote working or studying.
Location strengths include proximity to schools, parks and walking routes, low local crime, and no flood risk. Be mindful that the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect local amenities and resale timelines. A straightforward renovation would make this a comfortable, well-located starter home with scope to improve value.
