Local area: very deprived and above-average crime levels
A solid three-bedroom semi-detached home offering generous internal space and clear potential for buyers willing to renovate. At approximately 1,335 sq ft, rooms are roomy and the property includes a small rear garden — a rare find for this price band. The house is freehold and sits in a convenient Cefn Coed location with excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and good public transport links for commuters.
The property does require modernization throughout: cosmetic refresh, likely heating/insulation improvements, and general updating to bring it up to modern standards. The cavity walls appear uninsulated and double glazing install date is unknown; upgrading these elements would improve comfort and running costs. There is only one bathroom and the plot is small, so buyers should plan layouts accordingly.
This home suits first-time buyers or investors prepared to carry out refurbishment work and add value. It benefits from proximity to local shops, schools and amenities, but note the local area records above-average crime and the neighbourhood is classified as a very deprived area. Practical positives — good transport links, mains gas central heating, fast broadband and no flood risk — help offset the renovation requirement.
Viewers should come prepared for a project rather than a move-in-ready home. With targeted investment and basic improvements (insulation, modern kitchen/bathroom, cosmetic repairs), this property offers strong potential for comfortable family use or future resale.
