A compact three-bedroom terraced house on Russell Street, suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking an affordable entry into Merthyr Tydfil. The property offers a large living space, usable rear garden and recent practical upgrades including a new roof and triple glazing to select rooms, which help reduce immediate maintenance and heating costs.
Inside, the layout is straightforward across two storeys with a comfortable lounge, functional kitchen and a family bathroom on the first floor. The three bedrooms provide flexible space for a small family, home office or rental occupancy. Fast broadband, average mobile signal and very low council tax make day-to-day running costs comparatively cheap.
Buyers should be aware this is a small-footprint property in a very deprived area with above-average crime and a transitional neighbourhood profile. The exterior is dated and photos note possible damp issues and general fixer-upper potential; some cosmetic and remedial work may be required. The local market includes many renters, so owner-occupiers should consider parking, security and long-term neighbourhood changes.
Offered chain free on freehold tenure, this home represents strong potential for someone prepared to invest time and budget into improvement. For first-time buyers it can be a practical, low-cost starting home; for investors it offers straightforward conversion to a rental let after minor works, subject to survey findings.
