Perfect starter home in a peaceful village with countryside and commuter access..
Chain-free freehold two-bedroom end-terrace
This two-bedroom end-of-terrace stone cottage is offered chain-free and freehold, making it an accessible purchase for first-time buyers or investors. Set on a quiet side street in sought-after Machen, the house benefits from a large rear garden and easy access to open countryside, village amenities and major road links.
Internally the home is compact (approx. 582 sq ft) with cosy rooms, low ceilings and character features such as exposed beams and a wood-burning stove. Practical updates are already in place including double glazing installed after 2002 and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. Council Tax Band C keeps running costs moderate.
The property will suit buyers seeking a manageable project: it requires modernisation throughout and the stone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), so improvement works could unlock comfort and value. The plot is small and rooms are modest in scale, but the sizeable rear garden offers scope for outdoor living or extension (subject to consents).
Machen provides a strong village community with local shops, schools and leisure options, plus good commuter links. Note the wider area indicators show high deprivation despite low crime and fast broadband; buyers should weigh renovation costs against the house’s potential and favourable purchase position (no onward chain).
