This two-bedroom semi-detached home in Risca offers a practical, chain-free purchase with genuine scope for improvement. Set back from the road, it benefits from a private position, tiered gardens and a garage — ideal for buyers seeking outdoor space and storage. The rear enjoys an open outlook across surrounding hills and countryside, creating a pleasant, peaceful aspect.
Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance hall, lounge/diner, kitchen with garden access and a ground-floor cloakroom. Two double bedrooms and a shower room sit on the first floor. At 829 sq ft the accommodation is average-sized and suits first-time buyers or investors wanting a rentable property to upgrade.
Important practical points are clear: the property is of non-standard/system-built construction and is reported as having no insulation (assumed). This may restrict mortgage options and will likely require investment to bring thermal performance and the EPC (currently E) up to modern standards. The interior and finishes are dated and will benefit from modernisation and rewiring or heating checks where necessary.
For commuters, Risca & Pontymister station and nearby road links provide straightforward journeys to Cardiff, Newport and beyond. Broadband and mobile signal are strong locally. Council Tax Band A and a modest guide price give scope for value once improvements are made. Buyers should obtain mortgage and survey advice early due to the construction type.
